K. BY SENATE Commerce Committee Favors Thorough Tryout of the Chicagoan's Scheme Washington, Jan. 30. Carried away by enthusiasm for the con crete ship plan advocated before them two days ago by Kay Robin son, of Chicago, the Senate Com merce Committee, which is investi gating the affairs of the Shipping Board, yesterday passed a resolution urging the Emergency Fleet Corpo ration to adopt this plan and give its attention to the matter of concrete ship construction. The resolution was passed by a vote of four to two. after a heated dissucsion among the few Senators present. Those voting for it were Senators Jones, Washington: John son, California; Fletcher, Florida, and Calder, New York. Those who voted against it were Senators Nel son, of Minnesota, and Vardaman, of Mississippi. The worthy Senators who have been adrift in the affairs of the Ship ping Board for the last month have been waiting for some scheme like this to come along. The rosy picture jof shipping salvation through con-' crete which Mr. Robinson drew be fore them the other day, made tempting bait for men whose faith in the genius of America is greater than their practical knowledge of shipping matters. First Ship Near launching This is not saying that the con crete ship proposition is impracti cable. Engineering journals and au thorities all keep an open mind on the proposition and wait with f great interest for it to be demonstrated. The 5,000-ton concrete ship which is being built in San Francisco, the first ship of that size to be constructed of concrete in the world, will be launch ed March 1. The plan now is to have her tow ed up and down tht coast for a few trips before her engines and boilers are placed, so that the practicability of the concrete hull may be tested fully in the open sea before more money is spent on the project. It may be an excellent plan, also, to hold the conference of concrete experts ard ship designers recom mended in he Senate committee res olution pas.. <d yesterday afternoon. The only danger lies in the oppor tunity which all this furnishes to further exaggerate statements of tonnage which America may build in the coming year and expand to a bursting point the country's already inflated shipping hopes. The project on the face of it sounds too much like the 1,000 wood enship project by means of which America had utterly and entirely de feated the German submarine cam paign eight months ago.
