Machinery &nd ship building equipment, valued at millions' of dollars, was left out in the open to deteriorate in value months after the plants. 'were closed down with the ending of the war, Paul H.. MacNeil, a former resident engineer of the shipping boardiw the south Atlantic district, testified before the Walsh commit tee investigating shipping board af fairs. , . MacNeil said he was stationed 'at Savannah and had five mef under his; supervision,' his immediate chief bring R. H. Dillingham at Jackson ville, the district plant engineer. Just what his own authority was he did not know he testified' iut he said he "assumed a great deal in the endeavor to straighten out tangles." . lie said the yards were well or ganized, "better perhaps than the emergency fleet forces, tor they gen erally could get the better, of the 'government, organization." He brought into his testimony, the name of the Terry ship yards and the Rational Ship Building com pany and a marine railway organ ization, over, which he had super vision.' He said that the Jerry peo ple had a trust loan from, the fleet corporation to be used in ship con struction and that over his protests money in this fund was used to fi nance a; subsidiary organization en gaged in dry dock work, when their 'contracts were only about one third complete. -, . ! No Precautions Taken. ; Speaking of the National Ship the work there had shut down prev lluilding company, the witness said' ions Ui his arrival on the scene, "I found nothing had been done to take care of the properties and valu able machinery ws left uncovered to the weather," he said. ' -iHe 'in voiced the properties as to quantity and percentage depreciation but not as to value. His "guess" a . its value was between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000. He also aserted that in the auditing of the affairs of the plant 101 numbered vouchers could not be accounted lor. - Another point he made was that equipmcntvprdered previous to the closing of the plant was still coming to the yard. He tried to have it stopped and suggested it was new and could be returned to the ven ders by payment of the freight only. "They told me to keep my. hands off and let the machineryxome," MacNeil declared. ,V . Equipment Exposed.

The railway was built with emer gency fleet funds, amounting to about $100,000 with an additional $12,000 worth of filling supplied by the government for another opera tion This property, he said, was in coii troversy, and it was his opinion that under the laws of Georgia, it was "owned by the man who had title to the land." The rental asked, he understood, amounted to about 10 times the appraised value of the plant. The witness said he had no criti cism of the manner in which the yards . under his jurisdiction were handled while they were active, but he did criticise the manner in which the financing wai taken care of.
