PT9f sr- O- Job Finished, Station Open The New Lots Ave. station of the BMT 14th line was restored to full use last night, the Transit Authority said in reporting the $21 4,700 modernization job was completed nearly three months ahead of schedule.

work, which will require 20,000 man days, came as a newly-formed coalition of Congressmen befran mapping a drive to prevent the shutdown of any of the nation's 11 Naval shipyards. The Brooklyn installation, biggest in the nation with a work force of 10,000, has been bypassed in Navy contracts for major construction, and as many as 5.000 employes face dismissal in the year ahead.

Kenneth B. Keating and Rep. Hugh L. Carey, who are among 26 Congressmen on the committee opposing the shutdowns, learned of the assignment at a conference late Wednesday with Rear A dm. William A.

Brockett. chief of the Navy's Bureau of Ships. The ships due for overhaul are the Cadmus, a mapping vessel, and the Athanar, a unit of the reserve fleet to be reactivated.

Standstill Feared Keating said Brockett "couldn't say" what ships if any will be ordered built at Brooklyn under the 1 le5 appropriation.

Spokesmen for the employes fear that without new construction work, the bustling Yard may come to a standstill. The committee to which Keating and Carey belong was organized Wednesday at a meeting of some 130 Congressmen or their representatives, called by the AKL-CIO Metal Trades Department. With Rep. Emanuel Celler as chairman, the committee will formulate policy and map action in the united effort. Here's How Nary Yard Went Dry Like the Ancient Mariner, thousands of workers at the U.S.

Msgr. Michael J.

McLaughlin said in his report to the Bishop that he was particularly disturbed because "in the midst of the controversy surrounding: the tour, one fearing fact stood forth there wa not one Nefrro face anywhere among the Suffolk County officials involved." He recommended that an appeal be made at once to persons of all faiths to help relocate the slum families: that Catholic Charities provide social work as- instance and advice on social welfare facilities, and that the diocesan St. Vincent de Paul Society visit the farm periodically with food and clothing. The diocesan Commission for Interracial Affairs, of which Msgr. McLaughlin is chairman, will name a committee to study the situation, he said. More than 300 former tenants a the duck farm have already been moved, but Lynch protest-that the county is relocating them in distant parts of the county and in "other Negro ghetto areas," The county has had trouble finding homes at the $50 or $60 a month which was charged for the shanties.
