No further major sea battles were fought during the World War and the Germans remained in the safety of Helgoland Bight until the final days of the conflict.

The German fleet finally was surrendered but was scuttled by the Germans as they were delivering it to the British base at Scapa Flow. | Only isolated actions involving | huge battleships have been lough” in this war.

Bomber Production Quadrupled in Year At Martin Plant Peak Is Due in August; Output Boosted Despite Need for Vital Parts By the Associated Press BALTIMORE, May 8.—Four times more bombers than last year are inching their way off production lines of the Glenn L. Martin Co, | and the peak is still to come, prob- ably in August. The output of bombing planes for Britain and America in this one plant is short many millions annu- ally in dollar value deliveries, due principally to delays in obtaining necessary aluminum stocks, Glenn L. Martin, president, told corre- spondents on the National Associa- tion of Manufacturers “Production for Victory” tours of war industries. Mr. Martin said: “The vital air- craft manufacturing industry still has a priority rating behind battle- ships. trucks and tanks. “We need metal, we need instru- ments, we need steel alloys and other essential parts to turn out bombers, but in spite of these de- ficiencies we have upped our pro- duction four times within a year and are on the way to peak pro- duction in August.” The actual rate of production must remain a military secret, but not a few of these speedy, well-armed and highly maneuverable bombers are leaving the plant for action each month, Mr. Martin said. He explained that the production lag was due to inability to obtain sufficient metal, especially alumi- num, under the priority rating of AlA, group 1, which has been given to the airplane industry by the War Production Board. He said his plants could “come up to schedule” if* the priorities classification were raised.
