Passenger Ship Shortage
: BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Corresp?ndent
WASHINGTON,—The great, sea-going-sized
\irony of the present messed-up maritime situation
is that the United States-—the number one maritime
power of the world—has only 20 passenger liners in
operation.
In 1940 American shipping companies had a com
bined fleet of 154 passenger vessels. All were con
verted into troop-carriers. Fifty-four of them were
lost in action, serapped or sold. ;
Of the remaining 100 which were afloat a year
ago, 59 were over 20 years old and may not be
worth reconverting. Of the 41 less than 20 years
old, only one has been reconverted. It's the Amer
ica, largest liner &ver built in this country. She’s
ceacdy fcr her reconverted maiden voyage but was
tied up by the recently ended maritime sirike.
The only liners not tied up were the Matsonia,
rleared for emergency food-carrying to Hawaii, and
the Vulcania, which had an Italian crew. But when!
the Vuleania gets back from Italy, she will be given
back to her former Italian owners and the U. S.
passengership fleet will be cut that much further.
When the first maritime strike hit last summer,
passenger-carrying ships flying the U. S. flag lined
up like this:
Six ships on the Atlantic, four on runs to the
Mediterranean, four on the Pacific, two to South
America, one each to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Ber
muda. "
TRANSPORTS AREN'T FOR CIVILIANS
At the end of the war the U. S. Maritime Com
mission fleet numbered nearly 5000 ships of all
types. Nearly 500 were troop transports, with the
capacily to move half a million men at one time.
But troop transports stack their passengers in
tiers, four or six bunks to the tier, and the life-sav
ing equipment is mostly rafts. Coast Guard: rules
won’t permit ships to carry civilian passengers un
less there is one lifeboat seat per passenger. 3
Under the Second War Powers act, the President
has been abie to set these regulations aside. Two
pre-war passenger liners, the Manhattan and the
Ericsson, plus seven troop transports, were partially
reconverted to bring back war brides and Ameri
can war refugees. These nine ships are today the
cream of the U. S. passenger liner service.
Even they don’t’offer any de luxe services. The
cabins are more like dormitories. On the troop
decks the bunks have been taken out and beds have
been installed, but men are kept in compartments
at one end of the ship, women at the other. The
food is served cafeteria style.
The Second War Powers act expires March 31,
and if it is not renewed by Congress, these ships
will no longer be able to carry passengers and will
have to be reconverted a second time before they
can go into regular commercial and tourist pas
senger service. ’ '
LITILE IMAEDIATE RELIEF VISIBLE
‘By next spring, however, it is hoped that the 18
passenger ships now in the process of completion
or conversion will be ready for business. Fourteen
of them will be for the Caribbean and South Amer
ican trade, four for the Pacific. The Office of War
Mobilization having issued stop orders on further
construction of new passenger ships, this seems to
be the total prospect for the next year or so. .
When Americans want to go abroad, they’ll have
to rely on the airplane, go by foreign-flag ship, or
rely on American-flag cargo ships, which have a
maximum passenger-carrying capacity of 12 per
sons. Coast Guard regulations limit the freighters
to this number, unless they carry extra crew in the
steward’s department. Women and children are
usuaily barred from such vessels unless a ship’s
doctor is signed on.
There are about 16060 of these cargo vessels in
service now. Half are operated by the Maritime
Commission, half under charter to private owners.
Nearly 1300 have been laid up in the reserve fleet,
and approximately as many more have been sold.
The remaining 800 ships in Maritime Commission
eet are awaiting asstgnment, undergoing repair or
anixceflaneous service. b . 4
A TURN FOR THE BETTER
A slight break in the deadlock over
atomic energy control-—a deadlock essen
tially Russo-American — is visible in the
meetings of Committee 2 of the Atomic
Energy Commission at Lake Success. The
break came with the committee’s decigion
to postpone political discussion for the
present and concentrate on fact-finding.
Then followed the presentation of a Rus
sian plan by Prof. S. P. Alexandrov.
E Professor Alexandrov started at the be
'ginning with his approval of a world in
i\'gntory of uranium deposits — known,
probable and possible resources. The So
viet scientist would also gather informa
tion on the methods and efficiency of min
ing and milling the ore. Thus interna
tional control would begin with a detailed
knowledge of actual and potential ura
nium deposits, and of the probable
amount of metal that could be produced
from them.
Any evidznce of the Soviet govern
ment’s desire for agreement and co-oper
ation is encouraging. But there is little
more encouragement to be found at the
moment. For the Alexandrov plan, while
it appears entirely sensible, scarcely
brings the discussion to the threshold of
the real difficulties,
The first of these is the American pro
posal for international inspection of
atomic energy plants. Russia has been
dead set against that since it was first in
troduced, and shows no sign of budging.
The Russian view is that this inspection
would be a violation of sovereignty. The
Russian counter-proposal is the rather
naive one of national inspection.
Some consider that the Soviet stand re
flects the Moscow government’s unwill
ingness to open its gates to outsiders who
might pick up industrial ; and military
knowledge which the government wants
kept secret. Others feel that Moscow
fears the possibility that outsiders might
implant “dangerous” political and eco
nomic ideas in Russian minds. Neither
speculation seems illogical.
At any raie, the Russian alternative to
international inspection is simply a gen
tleman’s agreement by all nations that
none will manufacture atomic weapons.
This is all very gdllant and trusting, but
scarcely a comforting guarantee ‘of the
world’s safety from so terrible a weapon
as the atomic bomb. Gentlemen’s agree
ments have a notoriously poor record for
preventing wars in the past.
Béyond the deadlock of inspection lies
the barrier of the veto. Here too Russia is
adamant in refusing any suggestion of
modification such as the American plan
contains. ;
} In short, the Russian plan for atomic
energy control offers a beautiful setup for
any nation already possessing the atomic
bomb, and a splendid chance for other
nations to go ahead with research on the
weapon. Beyond a national word of honor
and a toothless treaty, any country could
produce bombs without official outside
interference, and any one of the Big Five
found producing them could veto any ac
tion against it.
.~ These differences must be faced and
settled when the inevitable discussion of
politics is resumed. Nevertheless, it is
heartening to see the Soviet government
making- a positive gesture toward their
solution. It denotes a change in the too
familiar petulant attitude. And such
change must precede any real progress
toward solving the whole great problem
of world peace.
Motorists should make it an ironclad
rule to ease up in a freeze up. — Ned H.
Dearborn, President National Safety
Council. sl
I don’t say we shall have war tomor
row, and I don’t say we shall not have it.
It is enough to say that the situation is
full of dangers as two bloes face each
other.—Charles DeGaulle.
The veto power is at present the cen
tral instrument by which the great pow
ers safeguard themselves against any com
pulsion to concede what they do not think
they can concede with safety to them
selves. — Prof. Harold J. Laski, British
Labor Party leader. :
Somewhat blunderingly and uncertain,
American foreign policy is finally meeting
the chaljlenge to defend peoples’ rights.—
Adolf A. Berle, jr., former Assistani Sec
retary of State.
There is nothing more repulsive, de
grading and demoralizing than horse
meat. The man who gets it wants to grind
it as hamburger and get that differential.
—UNRRA Director Fiorello H. LaGuar
dia.
If war should come again, we may be
certain that in speed, range and power
of weapons it will make the war just fin
ished look like a fight with old-time muz
zle loaders. — Secretary of War Patter
son.
The issue is not the decisiveness of stra
tegic air weapons. That was demonstrat
ed for all time ‘in this last war. The real
issue is control. — General Carl Spaatz,
AAF Commander. :

Gayle’s brother’ Jimmie always
said, “When Gayle gets her back
up, look out. She’s dangerous.”
When Mr. Godfrey made clear
that her custody of Kent might be
threatened, she became moze
adangerous than she had ever
been in her life. She was ready
to figat Bart or his mother, or
both of them, in private o- in
public; and she was ready, too,
to use any weapon that would
strike the hardest blow.
| She lay long awake that night
tainking and planning, angq the
next morning she began to put
her plans into effect. She dis
missed the maid and Miss Norton,
the nurse. :
It hurt her to tell Tom he
wasn’'t needeq any longer, but
he made tue situation as easy as
possible for her. “I've been
thinkin’ I ought to go to Bridge
port, he said “I'm a good me
chanic—pretty good, anyhow,
and they need ’em bad in the
factories. I think we're goin’ to
be in tae war pretty quick, Mrs.
Bartlett.”

Gayle waited until evening to
talk to Mrs. Mays. Then she ask
ed the cook to come into the
living room and sit down. “It’s
something personal,” she ex
plained.
As Gayle lookeq at Mrs. Mays,
‘wondering hew she could best
begin, she taought of the many
women she had entertained in
that room who had less the look
of quality than Mrs. Mays had.
In taree y?rs M-s. Mays did not
seem to Have aged at all; she
was still a little plumper than
she should have been, but her
cheeks were still pink, and her
eves were tae same clear blue.
Her spectacles always seemed
brighter taan other peoples’; the
lenses shone with cleanliness.
. “Fhis is very difficult, Mrs.
‘Mays,” Gayle began hesitantly.
Then sae smiled. “I'm afraid I'm
not very subtle. I wanted you to
' come din here Hecaupe—well,
there’'s a new relationship. Oh
‘dear, I don’t know how to put
it

“No! Oh no! Taat’s just it
Don’t yvon see. I'm talking to
you as a friend.” :
“1 taought that's what you
meant. I'm glad you feel that
way, Mrs. Bartlett. 1 know about
Jane and Tom and Miss Norton,
of course. I was going to tell
vou I wasn’t ready to be fired.”
She hesitated and then added
firmly, “I'm staying.”
* - ‘.
“Bless your heart!” Relieved,
her faith in M-s. Mays complete,
Gayle began to talk. all confu
sion gone. “I've been thinking over
'everybody I know. I've been
having a bad time. I didn’t want
to worry my parents, and so I
javen’t said a word to them yet
—and it didn't matter whom I
thought of, I wasn’t satisfied. I
wanted to talk things over with
awoman. T wanthehlf and adviee
and finallv it dawned on me, I'd
raihe- talk about this with vou
toan anybody else, even Rose
Beecher. I'm going to tell you
everything. friend to friend. and
then I'm going ta ask your help.”
4“1 won’t tall”
“T know vou won't. If I didn't ]
know it. I'd never tell you any
of it.” Then Gavle told the storv:
un te. and. including, her talk:
with Mr. Godfrev. “And go. vou
see” she conciuded, “I've got to
rearrange my entire life. I've got
to get a ijob—not rigat away hut
in the next few months. You:
can get another job—" = |
“I told you I wouldn't bel
'fired," Mrs. Mays said quietly.
“I thought you needed me.”
L Oy e
- “T know.” Mvs. Mays turned
ier hands palms upward in her
lap and studied them thought
fully. Then she looked up, and
her quiet smile lighted aer face.
“It comes down to this, doesn’t
it, Mrs. Bartlett: somebody’s got
tc take care of Kent, and some
body’s got to work to earn
epough money—and you'd like
so- us to work it out some way
tpgether? Isn’t that it?”
| "%“Oh yes — exactly! . But.l
‘won’t be able to pay you even—"
' “Pay me?”’ Mrs. Mays drew
herself up in her chair. ‘I
thought you said we were talking
as friends.”
Gayle flushed painfully and
cried, “We are! We ave! But 1
don’t -want to ask sacrifices of
you. I haven’'t any right to ask
sacrifices. No matter, what hap
pens, I gain and you lose. I've
tried and tried to see my way
around that. and 1 can’t. “You're
always the lose.”
“Mrs. Bartlett.” Mrs. Mays’
voice was very quiet but her
blue eyes were serious, almost
stern. “At my age you're neve
the lose~ when you’re needed and
wanted.”
*® * *
The next morning Gayle wrote
to her parents, to Nate Kent,
who was in an Army Camn in
California, and Rose. To Rose,
she confessed. “You told me in
plain words. I give vou leave to
say, ‘I told you so’.”
She sent tae letters air mail
and then set about putting her
affaivs in order. On Mr. God~
frey’s advice, she transferred her
account to a different bank. “If
you don’t,” he had" explained
“yon’re likely to find money de
posited in your name. and that
would be an embarrassment.”
Then she set about selling all he~
iewels, her pearl necklace and
the pearl set left her by Mr.
Bartlett excented. It was a shork
to- find that the jewels would
bring onlv a small part of their
value, but even that small nart

been invested in government

she could produce evidence
