Buiting of 6 Cargo Ships ‘And 2 Destroyers . Challenge to Axis. : PORTLAND, Me. Aug. 17 (U. P.).
| <-Six cargo ships of 61,000 tons and|:
two destroyers to help protect them - from submarines took to the At- ~ lantic yesterday along a 35-mile Stretch of the Maine coast in a ~ mass launching that broke all rec- . ords “for this cradle of America’s merchant marine.
¢ With only an hour’s pause in the noontime clamor at the Todd Bath iron shipbuilding plant at South ' Portland, five 10,100-ton merchantmen built for the British Purchasing commission were christened and floated from construction basins to - start the day’s ceremonies. The other three, Ocean Traveler, Ocean Stranger and Ocean Way- - farer, took 61 days. As tugs pulled ‘out the five, work was resumed on two more cargo ships in the ways and five vacated berths were made ready for keels of other ships on which work started this morning.
Yards Grew Rapidly
‘ The South Portland yards, em.ploying 14,000, are one of America’s newest, and only 19 months ago were the scene of a few derelict buildings employing six men. ‘ Scarcely two hours after the ' initial launchings, the -10,500-ton “liberty ship, Ethan Allen, slid down ‘the ways at the South Portland + Shipbuilding Corp. into Casco bay. At 5:20 p. m. the destroyers Conway and Cony, the former named for the late William Conway, navy quartermaster, entered the water at the Bath Iron Work Corp. plant, Bath, Me.
Challenge to Axis
A crowd of 5000 heard Rear Ad‘miral Emory S. Land, U. S. madri~ time commission chairman; Sen Harry 8. Truman (D. Mo.) and
Maine’s Gov. Sumner Sewall praise):
_ the workers and challenge the axis to sink our ships faster than they are built. Henry J. Dionne, whose crew of six drove 3701 rivets, set-
a ting a new world record, was pre-
sented to the crowd at the Todd plant. British purchasing commissioners and high U. S. navy and army officials, including Rear Admiral Wilson E. Brown, commandant of the Boston navy yard; Rear Ad--miral Oscar C. Badger, commander of the north Atlantic destroyer| squadron, and Brig. Gen. Thomas H. Jones, commander of the PortlandS defense area, watched the launchings.

Ex-Envoy to Japan's Past Record Is Cited as Qualifying ‘Him.
—Ambassador Joseph Clark Grew, returning soon on the exchange ship from Japan, was. reported today to be slated for a job as special assistant to Secretary of State Cordell Hull to advise on Far Eastern affairs. A precedent exists in the case of
ambassador to Turkey, who is now serving as special assistant to Mr. Hull. The 62-year-old Mr. Grew already has notified the department of his wish to co-operate in the war effort. Unless President Roosevelt delegates him to a special assignment, he is scheduled to take over most of the department's advisory work on the Far East. He will report to the president
exchange liner Gripsholm later this month, may next take a short rest on his New Hampshire farm, and then is due in Washington for his new duties. Asked to Write Book Several publishers have asked Mr, Grew to write a book on his experiences. The ambassador has kept . a detailed - diary since he started his diplomatic. career at Cairo in 1904 and has copious maparticularly on AmericanJapanese relations. Events have justified Mr. Grew’s record during his 10 years in Tokyo. He continuously warned of Japan’s militarism and it now can ‘be revealed that on at least three occasions he. advised the United States to guard against a possible surprise attack. The first warning came in January, 1941, when the embassy in
when and if Japan decided that
inevitable, the Japanese would strike first and without warning. That information mentioned Pearl Harbor as the intended point of attack. Gives Third Warning In September of last year he advised that there were indications in Tokyo that a military clique was about to take matters into its own hands. Such a development, he ‘said, should be interpreted as an indication that Japan had decided to fight the United States. In’ mid-October, Gen. Hideki Tojo’s cabinet replaced the moderate regime of Prince Fumimaru Konoye. - Mr. Grew called attention to his previous dispatches. “The sahds are running short,” he reported. Throughout his dispatches, he advised that American military and diplomatic policies should be more closely co-ordinated. He labored zealously for peace but with a realistic outlook. If the United States imposed embargoes on Japan and increased aid to China this country . should, he counselled, always bear in mind the likelihood that Japan would attack us.

today that she shot and killed her boy friend, Capt. Davis Carr, in self-defense. * Miss Herlihy was charged with

there was a possibility that if the coroner’s jury accepts her plea, she

She was in a hos- .| pital at Douglas under guard. Capt. Carr was shot in the Herlihy home in Douglas early Saturday. She used her father’s .32 caliber revolver and two bullets hit him. He died Saturday night. Army circles were shocked by the shooting. ' Miss Herlihy who, it was said, had been married before, was popular in army society, as was Capt. Carr, 35.

Exiled Government Says Executions to Be Avenged.
LONDON, Aug. 17 (U. P.)—The ‘| Dutch government in exile, expect- .| ing news of further reprisal execu“|tions in German-occupied Holland, today promised retribution after the war and warned that terrorism ‘| would never halt the resistance of .Dutch patriots. Since Saturday’s five executions there had been no word from the German-controlled Holland radio lon the fate of the remaining host~ ages, understood to number more than 1800. Dutch sources predicted that the Germans probably would carry out further executions in the next 10 days if the patriots who wrecked a German troop train near Rotterdam Aug. 7 remained at large.
Execute Ring Leader
Information reaching the Dutch government disclosed ‘that in the past two months patriots here destroyed 40 German supply trains, ‘set five German planes on fire, destroyed a dump of torpedoes and other ammunition in Haarlem, burned a German supply depot and blew up three ammunition trucks. According to reports, the Germans have executed one of the most famous members of the Dutch underground movement, Marie DeHaas, who led a sabotage ring which caused much of the Sesiruce tion. v Pieter S. Gerbrandy, premier of the Dutch government in ' exile here, has announced that when the war is over Germans responsible for executions in Holland will be tried and sentenced to death.
