Show THE PAGE SIX New Shipbuilding Plans Announced By President Jan. 3 (U.I! WASHINGTON, President Roosevelt announced today preparations for a $350,000,000 new shipbuilding program, and said $36,000,000 already has been allotted to the Maritime commission to start construction of snip-yarfor the work. The president estimated around 200 ships would be built under this program. The ships and yards will be owned by the government. Mr. Roosevelt said the program was decided upon because government officials realized that thousands and thousands of tons of vessels are being destroyed in the war and there would be a great shortage after it ends. Asked if Great Britain would benefit from the program, the president replied that was an if question and he did not care to answer it. Mr. Roosevelt said he was not yet ready to say where the proposed shipyards would be placed. He believed there was a sufficient supply of skilled labor in the country to handle the work. He thought the present steel supply would be adequate, but that as the defense program proceeds it probably will be necessary to expand steel facilities. The president said the new ships would run around 7,500 tons each and would be easy to build. He thought the whole program would and cost between $300,000,000 $350,000,000. The government, he said, will do all the work it can in steel plants, and use the proposed shipyards as assembly plunts. For anyone who loves a ship as much as he does, he added, the new ships would not be good to look at but would be serviceable and could be built in a short period.
