ASSAULT VESSELS
OUTPUT IN AMERICA LAG CAUSES CONCERN WASHINGTON, (Rec. 11.30 p.m.) ° ct ~ 23. Rear-admiral E. L. Cochrane, chief of the Bureau of Ships, issued a warning that a delay in the Pacific operations was threatened by labour shortages in the navy’s vital assault shipping programme. “If we meet the time table set for the Pacific every man and woman working will have to carry a heavier load to compensate for the additional workers needed, whom we are unable to obtain.” The United Press says the navy is calling for the delivery of five attack ships every two days. High officials recently expressed concern over the reported 25 per cent, lag in production.
