After an investigation of the ftf- airs of the South Portland, (Me.) which.has a contract with he maritime commission to build jiberty cargo ships, the'committee in a report filed with the house recommended termination 'of the' contract oh grounds of "incompetence, inef- obvious-inability to per- orm its, contract duties'." The second report urged the mari- commission to "tighten up'" its standard contract form to curb profits. This report was drafted by a subcommittee headed by Representative Peterson, Democrat, Florida. The sub. committee was named primarily to nvestigate circumstances surrounding cancellation of the commission con- with the Higgins. of tfew Orleans, for construction of' 200 Liberty ships, but it-went into other matters as well.

The subcommittee's Findings were adopted' in toto by the full' committee and submitted to 'the cant radfo at the own Peoria.

Lttc- Now Ste- tract, the report said, was justified. not because of anyilack of confidence in the ability of Andrew J. Higgina, or the fliggins 'corporation, to per: ornv the contract, but because of cumstance which 'developed after the contract was made.

The contract was signed in March, the subcommittee said, and it became apparent in that existing yards could produce the entire ship-building program; that the commission could get no additional steel for the expanded program; that there remained considerable funds to be spent on the Higginsi site and plant, and 'a large amount of strategic materials would have to be used, in constructing the plant and facilities, the electric power plant, housing and cilities. "Your committee it was regrettable that, it became necessary to cancel the Higgins' contiact," the report said, "'and we can readily understand and appreciate the feelings of Higgins and his associates with reference thereto." The South Portland report, bristling with condemnation of the management and operation, said the yard's record was "the worst' of any company engaged in the construction of Liberty ships." "The inevitable concbasion" of the committee's study, the report said, "is that South Portland Ship is receiving a fee for the trouble of incorporating a company, choosing a name for that company, holding occasional directors' meetings and delegating the performance of its. contract duties." Asserting that South Portland's fees would amount to not less than $5,040,000, the report said the yard had already received in fees more, than 200 per cent of its invested capital of vv ao-r-J-'i. oie- phen'S. of the World Jewish congress, said last night that he had le'arnecl' through sources Confirmed the state department that approximately half the estimated 'Jews in nazi-occupied Europe, hadsbeen slain in an "extermination 'campaign," Dr.

Even at the minimum figure, however, its total fees will amount to a return of 2,000 per cent on This high return must be considered in the light of the fact that South Portland Ship incurs np risk."
