West Coast Pleads
For Shipbuilding
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President
Truman promised a delegation of
West Coast Congressmen yester
day to make an immediate inquiry
into their plea for a shipbuilding
program in that area.
The delegation asked Mr. Tru
man to direct the maritime com
mission to allocate a part of its fu
ture construction contracts to
west Coast yards. The delegation
requested a 15 per cent differen
tial in costs to enable the west
coast to compete for contracts with
East Coast shipbuilders.
Representative Jackson 'D.
Wash.) said Mr. Truman felt
“definitely there was justice in the
plea.
“He said he had made a close
survey and that he would see what
can be worked out.”
Others in the delegation includ
ed Representatives Mitchell ^D.
Wash.), Tollefson <R.-Wash.>, An
gel <R.-Ore.) and Norblad <R.-Ore.>
They said that not a single mari
time commission ship is now un
der construction on the west coast
and that shipyards which pro
duced 42 per cent of maritime
shipbuilding are going to ruin for
lack of business.
I Washington Wet —
But Not Drunk
SEATTLE, ' (JP) — Finally wet
Washington State was burpin’
bourbon yesterday.
Liquor-by-the-drink went into
effect Monday, but the distance
between bars was a junket that
would try a camel. Approved by
voters last November, the new law
allows anyone with the price to get
legally gassed by the glass for the
first time in 33 years.
Until Monday, the stuff was
lawfully available by the drink
only in licensed clubs and by the
bottle in state-operated liquor
stores. The new law apparently
caught customers with their thirst
up and the dispensaries with their
licenses down.
The swollen-tongued searchers
counted only about six or eight es
tablishments in Seattle (popula
tion half a million) where jiggers
were clinking Monday night. In
these places “skoll”-shouting pa
trons were standing elbow to bent
elbow. The state liquor control
board has allotted the State 235
licenses for a starter, with 82 of
them in Seattle.
