zation abilities of Charles M Srltuah,
who, he said, "has wi ought a vast Im
pro ement In the shipbuilding situation."
The Florida Senator Is In Philadelphia
with a subcommittee on milltarv a.ffalis.
which Inspected tho Mldvala Steel
Works.
The improvement has been so great
ami so noticeaoie, j-enaior i-ietcner
said, that the investigation of the Com
merce Committee into the shipbuilding
program had virtually come to a stand
still. It has not been dropped alto
gether, however.
"As long as things continue to go
along as at present I can see no reason
for intervention by our committee," was
the way Senator Fletcher summer up
the status of the Investigation.
He declared the greatest need ' at
present was for materials and expressed
confidence in the ability of Mr. Schwab
to get them.
"I do not think there Is any need of
commandeering houses for shlpworkers
In Philadelphia," he said. "The greatest
nroblem here la that of tiansnortatlon.
Through the commandeering of trans
pot tation facilities the situation here
has been Improved to such an extent us
to avoid taking nver houses.
Senator Fletcher spoke of the Clov
ernment's plan to requisition turbine
engines for transports being built at
Hog Island.

turbine engines that are being made for
the Navy Department." said Senator
Fletcher. "The merchant marina being
built by the Government Is in great
need of these turbines.
"The navy la getting them In good
quantities and Is using them for de

merchant ships at present is greater
than for destroyers "
