35.000-Ton U. S. S. Wash
ington to Hit Water To
morrow: 63 More Building
By Edward E. Bemar
Washington, May 31. OTt
The first new American battle
hip in 19 years slides into the
water tomorrow at the start of
a drive to speed warship con
struction unmatched in intensity
since world war days.
The 35.000-ton U.S.S. Wash
ington will be launched at the
Philadelphia navy yard. It is
the first of 68 warships still
under the riveting hammer
which 'the navy, by day and
night work, intends to com
plete months ahead of their
original schedules.
To Start Others
The record appropriation for
the sea forces now before con
gress includes more than $100,
000,000 to be expended solely
to speed the transformation of
teel into battlecraft at a rate
never even contemplated until
the latest emergency arose.
As fast as the fleet reinforce
ments slide down the ways at
more than a dozen crowded
hipyards, keels for other craft
will take their place.
Two weeks hence the Wash
ington's twin-sister, the U.S.S.
North Carolina, under construc
tion at the New York navy yard

Mickey McKay, one of hockey's
greatest centers, was fatally in
jured last night when his auto
mobile crashed into a pole. He

New York, May 31..
War and adverse weather were
blamed by merchants for gener
ally disappointing retail trade
during the past week. Dun &
Bradstrpet md tod?y in its
ekly survey.
Retail volume for the nation
was estimated 2 to 5 percent
higher than last year.
"The only region to maintain
its year-to-year increase," as
serted the Teview, "was the
middle west where industrial
centers recorded gains averag
ing 5 to 11 percent. Sales in
the east were a little under a
year ago, the total decrease be
ing no more than 3 percent.
"Retailers continued to buy
as close to the vest as possible.
For the most part the only
orders placed during the week
were to round out summer
stocks or promotional lines.
Wholesalers pointed out.
however, that the slowing down
in trading by no means signi
fies a disruption of markets.
Although retailer sentiment is
said to have been quite deeply
affected by recent develop
ments abroad, few attempts
have been made to withdraw
orders or put pressure on
prices."
