The townspeople of New Brunswick, NJ. had set out to build a home for 23-year-old ex-Marine Robert William Hoelzle, who lost the use of his legs when he was hit by a Japanese bullet on Okinawa.

The Government will put up $42 million in subsidies and for "defense features" such as double engine rooms to cut down the danger from torpedoes. The U.S. Lines will put up $28 million.
