HUGE INCREASES
PRODUCTION OF NEW SHIPS IN U.S.A. AVERAGE OF FOUR DAILY BY JANUARY. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.10 a.m.) RUGBY, October 16. An assurance that the United Nations could count on an average of four new United States cargo ships daily by January was given by Admiral Vickery, when addressing an American Merchant Marine conference. He said this was not the maximum potential shipyard capacity and ,24 million tons deadweight of new shipping would be delivered by the end of 1943. This figure could be substantially exceeded if the necessary materials were available. Although we still had a long way to go before we had enough ships for victory, the problem of shipyard productivity was as good as solved. Last month the shipyards built 89 per cent of the whole 1941 output.
