investigating cancellation of the Higgins Corporation contract to build 200 Liberty ships that he offered to waive the entire $28000000 profit if permitted to complete the now abandoned Michaud ship yard Holt Ross committee chairman announced Friday Higgins said the offer was ignored by the Maritime Commission which closed the plant in July before it got into production assigriing steel shortage as the reason Higgins after talking with President Roosevelt here Tuesday on the President's inspection trip is furthering his proposal to build giant cargo planes which he said could start rolling in 412 months after the go ahead signal was given The committee meeting in executive session said Higgins told them in his seven hours of testimony Thursday that his fee for building the 200 Liberty vessels could have amounted to $140000 per ship for the Higgins assembly line plan and that he told the Maritime COMMi3- sion he would fulfill the contract without taking a cent of the $28- 000000 profit So Many Healers Exempt From Sale Restriction Many gas heaters of the clay-back type are exempt from a War Production Board order restricting the sale of heating equipment Fort Worth merchants had discovered Friday The definition given in the WPB order makes the restriction apply only to gas heaters containing more than 50 per cent of metal by weight The weight test applied to many clay-back heaters in merchants' stocks here showed that other materials going into the makeup of the heaters outweighs the metal used in their manufacture Fewer Than 500 Due at Teacher Session AUSTIN
