Prewar Shipping.
Before the war, the United States, {with about 10,000,000 tons of shipping, was carrying about 30 per cent of its foreign commerce. Shipping people, and many government officlals; too, agree that a greater proportion of U. 8. goods should be carried in U. 8. bottoms. But there has been some suggestion, with support from abroad, that the prewar status should be restored. - Admiral Emory 8, Land, maritime commission chairman, sees the United States with a post-war fleet might mean carrying 50 per cent of of 15,000,000 to 20,000,000. tons, which U. 8. exports and imports. Many officials agree that this prospect might be about right, but oppose

Many WPA Shovels, Other Equipment for Sale by U. S.
By ROBERT TAYLOR : Times Special Writer ‘WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—Those famous WPA shovels—the ‘butt of 50 many jokes back in 1936—are on the market for anybody who needs second-hand shovels (some- only slightly used) for the war effort. They are part of a pool of more than a billion dollars worth of second-hand machinery and equipment which the war production board is attempting to move into the hands of anybody who needs them for
essential work. The huge pool of industrial equipment includes the last vestiges of three depression-time agencies, sent to the boneyard by congress, whose machines and tools will be used to conserve the materials and manpower that would be required to supply new equipment, Much of the WPA equipment was sold off long ago, when the war effort provided a ready market, but there still remains some 30,000 to 40,000 wheelbarrows, and lots ranging up to 100,000 of picks and shovels ‘and other tools. WPA sewing machines and WPA construction - equipment, despite large-scale previous sales, are still plentiful and there are machine tools which once figured in the relief-and-training programs of WPA and the civilian conservation corps. CCC was the first relief agency to be abolished, and most of its equipment has been sold. The national youth administration, latest casualty of a congress which developed economy ideas, will contribute to the pool as soon as the treasury department declares its

WPB is looking both for equipment. and purchases... When applications for new equipment are received, they will be checked against inventory lists and the applicant put in touch with owners of available equipment. WPB will sell nothing itself, merely act as intermediary ?
