C., June 24 l#)—Two more destroyers for the battle fleet slid down the ways at the Charleston Navy yard late to day in a double-barreled launching ceremony devoid of peacetime fan fare. While thousands of workmen cheered and a Navy band played Anchors Aweigh,” the destroyers Bell and Stevens shot stern-first into the Cooper river, where they were taken into tow by tugs. The Bell, named for the late Rear Admiral Henry Bell, hit the water first, and was followed a few minutes later by her sister ship, named for the late Commo dore Thomas Holdup Stevens and his son, the late Rear Admiral Thomas Holdup Stevens, II. The launching met the deadline of the Navy’s speed-up production program on the exact minute and second, and set a new local record for speed of construction—174 days on the ways. This record of slightly less than six months compared with the 23 months which were required to launch the destroyer Sterrett, first destroyer constructed here under the current shipbuilding program. Rear Admiral William Glassford. commandant of the Sixth Naval district and the Charleston Navy yard, praised the workmen for in creasing the tempo of production, and predicted that additional weeks and even months would be lopped off the time required to launch other destroyers to be built at the yard. Sponsors for the Stevens were Cleao Cooke Hulse of Kansas City, Mo., grand niece of Admiral Beil. Sponsors for the Seevens were Mrs. Roland Curtin of Annapolis, Md., great granddaughter of Com modore Stevens and grandniece of Admiral Stevens, and Mrs. Freder ick Stevens Hicks of Englewood, N. J., whose husband is a great, great grandson of Commodore Stevens and great grandson of Ad miral Stevens. —-V DROWNS ROCK HILL, S. C., June 24—<& —Oscar P. Paysour, 51, of Cherry ville, N.
