FREAK SHIPS
FOR ONE TRIP ONLY
(RecJ 1 p.m.) NEW YORK, August 12. Mass-produced "one-journey" stee* cargo ships will be used to carry war supplies to Britain, according to statements by two columnists. The ships will, they say, be flat-bottomed, and powered with motor-car engines and will carry a crew of only six. After i making a single one-way trip the ships will be broken up for scrap, and the engines used for other purposes in England. The British Admiralty has ordered ferro-concrete barges to carry two hundred tons of cargo.
