CONTRACT CANCELLED
WASHINGTON. July 21.
The House Merchant Marine Committee appointed a special committee of inquiry into the circumstances of the Maritime Commission’s cancellation of the contract of the Higgins Shipping Corporation, to build 200 ■ships. The Maritime Commission explained that the cancellation was because of insufficient steel being available.
Mr. A. J. Higgins, head of the firm, protested, and expressed the opinion that some other reason promoted the cancellation. He said yesterday that his yard would probably build giant flying boats, instead of shins, but he declined to elaboarte the statement.
