Extension (Continued rrom‘Page Gner WASHINGTON, April 20. — The | Senate Munitions Committee has | recommended, in a majority report, nationalization of enough industrial plants to produce warships, guns and powder for peacetime needs of the Army and Navy. A minority report protested that nationalization was not desirable. The majority report said: “We recommend Government ownership of all facilities adequate for con- |struction of all warshaps by the Navy Department, also gun forgings, projectiles, armor plate necessary for the War Department including facilities for the production of pow- der, rifles; pistols and machine guns for the same department. “We believe the War and Navy Departments can produce from their own ranks or employ sufficient abie technicians to operate su¢h plants successfully.” FERA labor, the CCC will put on the final touches including comple- tion of the bathhouse and commun- ity shelter, several picnic shelters, trails and enlargément of the park- ing areas. The fine log structures have been built by the Forest Ser- vice at Auk Village beach are worth any one's time to go out and see.
