The emergency fleet corporation ap
proved contracts today for about fifty
ships, steel and wood, with a total
displacement -of about 200.000 tons.
The cost of the vessels will be ?25,-
ooo.ooe.
Builders of the vessels for which
contracts were let today announced
they would organize a national shin
buiidiiifi association with offices in
Washington to provide a central
agency to -represent builders before
the fleet corporation and thus obviats
the necessity of iifdividuals corrfing
to Washington to deal with subjects
that could be handled more expedi
tiously through an organization.
The fleet corporation still has before
it contracts approved by General
Goethals for two government-owned
ship-building plants - to construct
fabricated steel ships. The fabricated
plans probably will be carried out, but
changes suggested by Mr. Denman
will be made and the probable cost of
the vessels will be much below the

contracts.
