Senator Lundeen, introduced a resol ution calling for the creation of a separate department of air service combin- ing the Army and Navy air corps and governmental civil aviation units. U. S.S. TROUT (SS202) , was launched at Navy Yard, Ports- mouth, on 21 May. House Naval Affairs Committee, approved legislation designed to speed the shipbuilding program . The Bill was approved unanimously after the group agreed, 8- 6, to eliminate a pro vision which would have suspended the Walsh-Healey Govern ment contracts Act on private and public construction. The Committee also adopted an amendment allowing dismissal of civilian employees without regard to civil service, so as to rid the organizations of subversive influences. \isr•n Totnl Enlisted Strength, 21 ~ay ......
