To Concentrate On

Navy Repair Work

Western Shipbuilding Association and vice president and general manager of Willamette Iron &

Steel Co., Portland, Ore., has an- nounced the formation of a special

WSA Committee that will under- take as its first prime activity the development of a program, which hopefully will lead to an increase in naval ship repair and conversion work for private yards of the Pa- cific Coast.

The committee, titled "Ship Re- pair Committee," will seek through legislative and military channels, a better liaison between Govern- ment and the industry, and return of a reasonable percentage of naval ship repair and conversion work back to private yards.

Mr. Mayer, recently elected chairman of the board by the asso- ciation's directors, has resigned from that position so that he may concentrate fully on the important tasks that lie ahead for the new committee.
