In an e.xplamUUn by Mr Cconley of the
distribution of steel ordtii. us they come
In from the shipyards.
According to Mr. Coonley the "rout
ing" of a teel older follows a certain
order of procedure It is first received
by the Kmcrgency l'leot Corporation
from a shipyard and Is passed upon by
the requirement department, then ii sent
to Mr, Heploglc, who distributes the
order among ste 1 plants lendy to handle
It.
Mr. Coonley -aid the steel suppl)
throughout the country Is now more
than adequatt, although -ome shipyards
hive not yet sulllclcnt to care for their
ants. This Is due, acroiding to Mr.
Cooniey, to Inadequate transportation fa
cilities. He was optimistic about the
future and declared that in a few months
the situation will be "well In hand."
He declared he ieci'nil mad" a visit
to Hog Island the first he had mado
In a month--and wns suipilsid nt the
progress being made .
"It was s mplj amazing In see the
thlp on the lirst way witty almost all its
plates on and entirely Inclosed," he
nald "I doubt ery much whether am
thing will be able to hold up piogiess
ot Hog Island"
Admiral Bowles made a tour of the
big yard on Sunday, nnd declares he
has verified his previous announcement
that lack of steel Is holding up the
work. He said he v,-enl carefully Into
the situation and is convinced he was
right
The responsibility for the shortage of
steel Is upon the American International
Shipbuilding Corpoiation, aeeoidlng to
Admiral Bowles.
