As a matter of fact, in the first part of the war, before the major invasions were launched, seamen suffered consideraUy more casualties than the memljers of the Armed Forces, particularly before the mer­ chant ship convoys were given adequate Naval protection. There were periods in the early days when seamen risked their lives just taking short coastwise trips as the subs roamed with impuMty'a few miles off our shores. > AH this is considered old hat by many shoreside people who have quickly overlooked the sacrifices of merchant seamen, and incidentally, the vital role played by ships in that war and any other.

Stankiewicz, who handled the chair, has been sailing with the SIU for quite some time now, joining In the Port of New York back on June 15, 1942. He's 31 years old and sails in the deck department. Recording Secretary Brooke joined the SIU at about the same time as Stankiewicz did, getting his book in Philadelphia on May 4, 1942. He^s 36 years old, married, and sails with the black gang. Piccerelli, who is well known to the crews of Waterman ships on the North European runs, generally sails as steward. He joined the SIU In New York on jJanuary 29, 1948.

In harness with him at the Savannah meeting were Roy Joe Nash as recording secretary and Rupert Pierce as reading clerk. Nash, who will be 31 next month, came into the SIU in the Port of Baltimore on March 1, 1946. He sails in the deck department and comes out of Comer, Georgia.

The commit­ tee said it act^ because it did not want to pave the way for a deluge of requests to reopen the Ship Sales Act of 1946. The comparable Senate commit­ tee had authorized sales of the vessels on the grounds that they would help contribute to that coun­ try's economic development and promote the foreign policy of the US. However, the action of the House Committee had apparently killed the ship sales bill for the time being. At the same time, the Committee authorized the sale of. eight C-1 types and two N-3 types to ^he Philippines for use in the interisland trade. Full approval of the measure was held up until the question of Philippine discrimina­ tion against US shipping is cleared up. The vessels have been under charter to the Philippines for a number of years with the charters running out this June 30. It's considered more likely that the sale to the Philippines will go through since the vessels are to be used solely in the inter-island trade and will riot compete with offshore US-shipping.' " 4 4 4 FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, A UNION REPRESENTING FARM workers, the AFL's National Agricultural Workers Union, has been struggling against great odds in various parts of the country to help better conditions for people who work for a living on farms. As many Seafarers know from their own background and experience, working oh a farm can be a pretty rough way of making a living, and the Union has had a tough time of it attempting to better conditions. Recently this AFL outfit has been active down in the Louisiana strawberry country attempting to get a better break for the smaU strawberry farmer who has been at the mercy of the middlemen in the strawberry business. The result was that somebody blew the whistle and brought the Justice Department's Anti-Trust Divi­ sion down on their heads. Now it seems that in Washington the Anti-Trust Division -hasn't been able to do very much lately since it's considered bad form to knock a big busi­ ness outfit these days even though it may be violat­ ing the anti-trust- laws! So here was a made-toorder situation—a handful of small strawberry farmers and a couple of union organizers all in one package. The re.sult was that the Anti-Trust Division thought it important enough to haul these farmers and the organizers into court and hava them fined and jaU sentences Imposed. / The jail sentences are all the more astonishing when It is con:rfdered that in past years major corporations prosecuted in trust cases have uniformly gotten away with fines which were very small in comparison to their ability to pay. You would have to .look long and hard to find any corporation officer who went to Jail. Somehow, this seems to be a throwback to the worst conditions of . 50 years ago when the Anti-Trust laws were used not against busi­ ness monopolies for which'they were designed, but against labor unions. It doesn't appear that the men in the Anti-Trust Division deserve any bgttle stars. for having lo "ked up some small Louisiana dirt farmers who were trying to improve their lot. . 4 4 4 IT'S BEEN ABOUT A YEAR NOW SINCE THE SIU STARTED putting-libraries of fresh up-to-date-reading matter aboard SIU ships, with-the books purchased out of the SEAFARERS L0(* fund; Re­ cently it was decided to ask the memheriship just how they felt, about this set-rip arid what could be done to improvriU.

Thus, if the operating fleet is replaced only as the ships become 20 years old, a total of 936 keels would have, to be laid within the three-year period, 1961 to 1963. Such a shipbuilding program is beyond the capacity of existing Amer­ ican shipyards, because this would require 174 shipways annually in peak years while, only 63 now are available. For this reason the Department of Commerce has recommended a shipbuilding program of 60 ships a year. This would maintain the ship­ yard nucleus required, and would replace the existing fleet In ah or­ derly manner over the next 20-year period. In addition, it would pre­ clude a re-o-ccurrence of ships becdming obsolete in a block. • i The Joseph Squires, one of the first Liberty ships named after Seafarer-heroes, shown at its launching at,the New England Shipbuilding Corporation yards on May 22, 1944.

He went down with the vessel. Both men were posthumously awarded with Mer­ chant Marine Distinguished Serv­ ice Medals for their heroism. On Maiden Creek The Squires was redelivered to the Maritime Administration on May e, 1952, after being operated, for the "Government by the Coast­ wise Line under a General Agency Agreement (GAA). The Alther was bought from the Government • by Paroh on February 12, 1951. 4 The executive branch of the Government always attempts to present a uniform approach before Congressional committees. In order to ac­ complish this, their reports on legislation first must be cleared through the Bureau of the Budget, as being in line with Uie program of the President. However, a notable exception to. such a uniform, approach on. legisla-. tion is present in connection with consideration of the bill to make permanent the idea that US-flag ships shall carry at least 50 percent of cargoes financed by this government and moving abroad. This cargo preference legislation has been of substantial assistance in providing a firm backlog of traffic for the US overseas fleet. For this reason, the Commerce Department believes that this principle should be continued as a part- of our national shipping policy. " On the other hand, the idea is strongly being opposed by the Depart­ ment of State. The latter department, which is Interested primarily in the international effect on foreign nations of the 50-50 shipping bill, once again has given in to the whims of our foreign-flag competitors, aM is trying tp defeat the legislation on Capitol Hill. In one-respect. State will be successful. Although popularly referred to as the 50-50 shipping bill, the measure, in certain instances, would allow 100 percent of shipments to be carried. abroad on US vessels. This portion of the legislation "will never bp approved by Congress, so that the most that can be hoped for is that Congress will approve, as a permanent la^y, thp 50-50 carriage principle. 4" i Another proposal that has- hit a snag In Congress and probably will not go through this year is the private financing bill, under which ship construction is financed in the private field instead of by the Govern-, ment. Here is another instance of internal trouble within the executive arm of the Goverpment. The Commerce Department is all for the bill but the Bureau of the Budget is violently opposed to the measure in its present form. The bill provides that the Government would guarantee 100 percent of the mortgage, but the Bureau wants nothing of this provision and insists that the private lender must take part of the risk. This is only one of the several parts of the proposed legislation that Budget won't go along with. The legislation, originally drawn up by private steamship-lines and mtroduced in both the Seriate and House, wou't go through in its present form. 4 t 4* 4* The Conference of American Maritime Unions, representing AFL-CIO unions, recently told the House Merchant Marine Committee that the miiitary should not be empowered to state that certain ports and areas abroad shall be closed to merchant ships. The Anerican ships, the unions pointed out, are manned by loyal Americans who have been screened for loyalty by the Coast Guard in cooperation with other Governmental security agencies. At an outbreak of an all-out war, the US merchant ships will go into every port and area where required. One inconsistency of the position of the military is that Anierican LST'a under Japanese contract and completely manned by Japanese seamen are in the vital shuttle run between Japan and Korea. So that, on the one hand, the military seems to say that certain US seamen cannot be trusted in these vital areas, but that, on the other hand, they put their blessing upon an operation where completely foreign crews are used in the Japah-Korea run. 3^ By the end of 1952 the merchant fleets of all foreign-flag countries, excepting^Germany, Japan, and Greece, had been able to increase the carrying of their respective merchant fleets above prewar levels. Of the three nations whose fleets are still below prewar levels, Germany and Japan have embarked upon large shipbuilding programs, and they are expected to provide a great deal more. competition as the size of their fleets is increased. t- iEJhor, SEAFARERS L06 trooUyn 32, N*w Y»rfc - 675 Feuffh Avanu* FU«» IMJ fh* fellewSng: (•I........bound volumtt of tho 1953 LOG O $5 ooch.

Lakes SlU May Strike Carferries YOUR DOLLAR'S WORTH Written exclusively for THE SEAFARERS LOG. by Sidney Margolius, Leading Expert on Buying SEAFARERS GUIDE TO BETTER BUYING Costly Hearing Aids? Efforts of SIU Welfare Services representatives to se­ cure hearing aids and other medical appliances for Union members at reduced prices are valuable serviced. All too often people who need a hearing aid buy one with­ out proper selection or pay too much for one because some salesman makes a convincing demonstration or a "consultant" offers a free "test." Hearing aids bought under such circumstances frequent­ ly cost the buyer more than may have been necessary, without any assurance that the device really was the most suitable one. Why should hearing aids cost as much as $300? Are the costly ones any better than say, the Zenith, which cost less than half the price. of most others and whose manufacturer for some years has accused the hearing-aid Industry of making an unnecessarily high profit on these devices? A Very High Marh-Ups The facts are, it costs only a fraction of the selling price to manufacture a hearing aid. The manufacturers justify their high mark-up by arguing they give expensive "tests" and instruction in thq use iof their device. Zenith believes such "tests" are unnecessary. It doesn't sell its aid through •pedal hearing aid centers as do the other manufacturers, but sells them through regiilar retailers like optometrists, department, jewelry and drug stores, and even by mail. The way to buy a hearing instrument is not by price or by "tests" given by a Vcdisultantv who is really a sales­ man. You should follow this procedure: ~ • • Write to the Council on Physical Medicine of the Ameri­ can Medical Association, 535 North Dearborn St., Chicago, for a copy of the council's list of acceptable hearing aids. You'll find some of the lower-priced ones are on.the ac­ ceptable list as well as some of the costliest. But that*doesn't mean all you need do is pick one of the lowest-priced,ones. You should try oiTt as many differ­ ent hearing aids as you can, for as long a period as the manufacturers permit. It is desirable to also try to get to an ear doctor (called an "otologist") for tests to see if a hearing aid will benefit you at all. However, private con­ sultations with otologists are a little expensive. So first find out if there is a hearing clinic in your town, by phon­ ing the local board of health or the various hospitals. Unfortunately, you can't always rely on the advice of private otologists. Not long ago the Journal of the Ameri­ can Medical Association admitted that some ear doctors accept fees from dealers for recommending their instrur ments, just as some eye doctors have been reported to get kickbacks from optical dealers and manufacturers. There's no way to tell if an ear doctor gets a kickback, but it does pay to be suspicious if he strongly recom­ mends just one or two makes, especially if these are the most expensive ones. List of Qualified Specialists If you can get to one of the larger cities that has a chapter of the League of the Hard of Hearing, the League will give you a chance to try out various hearing aids. They will also give you a list of qualified otologists in your area. You can write to the League's headquartei:s at 480 Lexington Ave., to get the address of the League chapter nearest to your town. It is also a good idea for any one having hearing diffi­ culties to write to the American Hearing Society f^ a list of its publications. These would be of help for adults who need adjustment to living with impaired hearing, and who also may need vocational and employment adv.ce as a result, and also will help parents solve the problems of children with impaired hearing. The Society's pamph­ lets also include a number telling you how to go about selecting a hearing aid, and also, how to have it fitted and how to use it. Money-Back Guarantee But the important thing in buying the aid itself is to buy it on a trial basis with a money-back guarantee so you can test it over a long period. Doctors say it is not possible to judge in a few minutes which model or make helps you the most. Also you may find the weight, shape and size of the various brands will make a difference to you. And when you do "try out" hearing aids at the offices or stores of the sellers, it's a good idea to have with you a person of normal hearing to make sure the salesman talks in a normal voice. Unfortunately the cost of owning an aid does not stop with the purchase of one. Hearing-aid cords need replace­ ment and the instruments themselves sometimes need repaim. Generally the user must return to the manufacturer for parts and repairs and these are high priced too. That's another reason why .careful selectioo is important. .Br.

British Crewmen Strike 2 Ships In Canada Port MONTREAL-^One British collier crew here was arrested for de­ manding wage increases and an­ other went on a wage-sympathy strike in support of the first in a maritime battle centered about inadequate wages paid to British union seamen aboard the two vessels. Seamen on both the Shelldrake, cause of the beef, and the Cibou, British colliers plying between Canadian Coastal ports during the summer, caused the dispute when they refused to put to sea despite the captains' orders. Shelldrake crewmembers claimed they were unable to live in Canada on British wages. They said the highest-paid unlicensed man on the British colliers gets about $84 a month, compared to a minimum Canadian wage of $204 a month for union members. Eighteen crewmembers aboard the Shelldrake were arrested last week for allegedly refusing to put to sea after the captain ordered them to do so. Cibou crewmembers wCnt out on their sympathy strike in support of the Shelldrake crew as well as their own wage demands. The Cibou crew was determined to see the strike through, although wages and food were cut off. The Cibou's captain said the men "must learn that they cannot disobey orders," but the crew was sticking by its guns. May 14, 1954' •'I CASH BENEFITS BALBOA—^Fears expressed two weeks ago that a threat­ ened landslide in the Gaillard Qut ci the Panama Canal might indefinitely close the vital waterway appear to have been premature, with the disclos--t ure that there was no longer plan, they said, calls for the "con­ any immediate danger of such struction of , a practically new Panama Canal'known as the seaa disaster. The* new development eased the minds of worried shipowners, who saw,no way" out of the crisis except complete suspension of intercoastal service or expensive rerouting around South America, via Cape Horii. The only other alternative was turning over the bulk of the traffic for handling by the nation's railroads, a choice few shipping companies would care to make since it would mean a further loss of cargo to shipping even if the Canal was reopened soon after. Bill Urges Commission In Washington, meanwhile,i with interest once again stirred on the issue of improving existing facili­ ties in the Canal Zone, pressure for speedy enactment of a longpending measure which would create an independent interoceanic Canals Commission mounted. This body would re-investigate the pos­ sibilities of adding to the facilities at the present site, as well as the advisability of launching construc­ tion at a new canal location, possi­ bly to the north, in Nicaragua. Propose 3rd Locks Emphasizing the urgency of act­ ing, particularly in view of the threat to existing facilities by land­ slide as well as enemy atomic at­ tack, a group of engineers and con­ struction officials who participated in the building and administration of the Panama Canal, called on Congress to approve the bill for a special commission.

IMi SEAFARERS Page Nim lO€ Lifelike Masks Of Oriental Heads Are Seafarer's Specialty SIU art contests in the past two years have had their share of 'interesting entries, but possibly the most unique entry so far, submitted for the W54 competition by Seafarer Sal Terracina, are two life-size, papier mache masks recreated from his own photographs of fig­ ures on an Oriental templehalfway around the world. line even before he started going colors on the masks are recreated Sailing with the SIU since to sea.

Both-^ : 7 shipowner representatives and and relieve the tax burden of sup­ a delegate from the Confer­ porting an MSTS fleet. ence of Artierican Martime Unions told the House Merchant Marine Committee that MSTS had no busi­ ness at all in the commercial field. Further, the maritime union spokesman said MSTS had not cut back its shipping operations with the end of the fighting in Korea. He pointed out that by 1953, the MSTS had expanded its own fleet 66 percent over what it had been in March, 1950, before the Korean fighting began. This fleet still con­ sisted of 248 vessels which is ap­ proximately 58 percent larger than it was before Korea. Cutback In Ships By contrast, tlie union spokes­ man pointed out, the American merchant marine had cut back al­ most to pre-Korean levels, being just 17 percent larger now than it was before June, 1950. He added that as far as the unions are concerned, both troops and supplies could be handled on privately-owned ships Just as well Shipowner spokesmen concen­ trated their fire on MSTS competi­ tion in coastwise and intercoastal trades, including tanker operations. They asked that any cargo avail­ able for handling in domestic trades should be offered to the regular coastwise and intercoastal lines first before they are handled on chartered ships or on MSTS' own vessels. A representative of the private tanker industry declared that there are enough privately-owned tank­ ers available to take care of all present tanker requirements. But despite this, MSTS is operating 55 tankers of its own in competition with independent tanker owners. Tramp ship operators also got in their innings stating that MSTS should charter their ships before carrying cargo on Governmentowned .vessels and should retire Government-owned ships now un­ der charter to private shipping companies. 1951, Terracina has combined his skill at photography with that at making the fascinating masks, which he duplicates from the origi­ nal by making huge enlargements of the detail of the figures. Ac­ cordingly, Terracina has shipped on several Isthmian Far East and 'round the world runs to accumu­ late suitable photos. Ceylon Models The two examples of the art en­ tered in the contest originate on a temple in Ceylon, which he pho­ tographed while ashore on a re­ cent voyage. The life-size masks are made of papier mache composition, and feature painted cue-balls as eyes and assorted bits and scraps of wire and metal for the hair and head-dress. LOGs Used Too Papier mache is a substance made of bits of paper mixed with glue and other materials, which is molded into shape when moist and becomes hard and strong when dry. Appropriately, several back issues of the SEAFARERS LOG have found their way into the mixture during the process. Actually, Terracina's mask-mak­ ing started as a hobby and blos­ somed iiito a money-making side- I^ which he notes while making his photograph on the scene. The idea of the using cue-balls as eyes, he notes, arose when he found there was no other cheap but durable material available with a smooth, curved surface that would take painC As it is, one cue-ball split in half takes care of each mask, providing the figurek is limited to two eyes. .v...

Bottom photo features some of the papier mache masks made by Terracina reproducing figures from other Oriental temples. Cartoon History Of The SIU • The SIU's first venture into movie-making, "The Battle of Wall Street," was previewed in May, 1949. Filmed by the SIU during the 1948 strike of AFL United Financial Employees against the Stock and Curb Exchanges in NY, it depicted the major role played by Seafarers in the fiercely-fought .; figures have been used as decora­ tions in stage shows, night clubs and other recreation spots and have been displayed in exhibits as far as 20 years back. Keeps 'Em Coming But the inventive Seafarer is continually making new ones, either to satisfy a curiosity as to what it turns out like or on order as a shpw or club decoration. The SttI 'Goes HoUywood* Hailed as a stirring example of inter-union coopera­ tion, the SIU film quickly won raves from all over the US, It showed actual scenes photographed during the 32-day walkout, in which 1,100 financial workers were "daily bolstered on the plcketlines by hundreds o£,wbite-j»iipe4 Seafarqra,.

Payoffs We paid off . a total of 21 ships in the past two weeks, signed five on foreign articles and serviced 20 in-transit, vessels. Paying off were the Steel Ar­ tisan, Steel Flyer and Steel Re­ corder of Isthmian; Seatrains Lou­ isiana, Savannah, Texas, Georgia and New York of Seatrain; Bea­ trice, Elizabeth, Kathryn and Su­ zanne of Bull; Badger Mariner of South Atlantic; Alexandra of Carras; Jefferson City Victory of Vic­ tory Carriei-s; Val Chem of Val­ entine; Government Camp, Bents Fort, Fort Hoskins and Bradford Isiand of Cities Service; and the Beauregard of Waterman. Ships signing on Were the Robin Goodfellow and Robin Mowbray of Seas; Steel Artisan of Isthmian; Jefferson City Victory of Victory Carriers and the Beauregard of Waterman. In-Transit Vessels In-transit vessels were the Steel Fabricator, Steel Seafarer, Steel Scientist and Steel Worker of Isthmian; Sea Cliff of Coral; De Soto, Bienville, Iberville, Raphael Semmes, Chickasaw and Alawai of Waterman; Frances, Marina and Ann Marie of Bull; Alcoa's Ranger and Puritan; Calmar and Seamar of Calmar; and Seatrain's New Jersey and Louisiana. These ships came in with only minor beefs which were settled aboard ship with very little argu­ ment. The delegates on all of these ships are to be commended for the fine job they are doing as are the crews for carrying out their jobs in SIU style. Claude Simmons Asst. Sec.-Treas. ' i. New Orleans: X. Shipping Oullook Is Very Bright On GuH . Reporting from down here is a pleasure as the shipping outlook is much brighter than it has been in quite a few reports. As a matter of fact, more men were shipped to regular jobs in the past two weeks than registered to ship by a pretty wide margin. The outlook for the coming two weeks is also bright with eight scheduled pay offs and none of them scheduled for lay up. All will head out again on regular ru^. The nunor about the Del Aires crevrtng up has come dhS mni gR indicatidB«fe she may crew up before the end of the month. We are in receipt of several ap­ plications by members who are buying homes and are unable to fill them in properly as we do not have the full particulars. We are only too glad to help all members when they give the Union for refer­ ence, but we wish they would let us know in advance in order that we can fill the forms in properly. Anyone who gives the Union as a reference is urged to get in touch with the Union in advance in order that the forms can be filled in with the proper recommendations in order that these loans can go through. Vote File We are getting up files here in New Orleans of all members liv­ ing in the State of Louisiana so that we can have a complete record of members in order to keep in.touch with them when necessary, and also to have a complete file for voting purposes. Having these complete files here in New Orleans will be a great factor in coming elections and will give us the re­ spect of those who in the past have looked down on us. All SIU members who live in the State of Louisiana and have not filled in cards here in N O are urged to contact the dispatcher here in order that cards can be filled in to complete our records. In checking-our files we have found members who are eligible to vote, but are not registered to vote. Only by being able to vote can a man exercise his rights and become part of the community where he can argue for his rights on equal levels with any and all who make up the community where he lives. All members who are eligible to vote are urged to register in order that they can be counted when the time comes to stand up and be counted. Payoffs Ships paying off were the Alcoa Pioneer of Alcoa; Del Viento, Del Norte and Del Campo of Missis­ sippi; Antinous of Waterman; J. B. Kulukundis of Martis, and the Paoli of Cities Service. Ships signing on were the Alcoa. Pioneer'of Alcoa; Del Norte and Del Alba of Mississippi; Alice Brown of Bloomfield, and J. B. Kulukundis of Martis. In-transit vessels were Alcoa Corsair, Patriot, Cavalier and Polaris of Alcoa; Steel Recorder of Isthmian; Del Alba of, Mississippi: Seatrains New York and Savannah of Seatrain; Afoundria, Chickasaw, Arizpa, Claiborne and Monarch of the iSea (Waterman); Alice - Brown and Marie Hamil of Bloomfield and the Southstar of South Atlantic. Llndsey J. Williams New Orleans Port Agent Baltimore: Clean Payoffs Mark Perl Of Ballimore Shipping in this monumental city of ours has been very slow for the past few weeks.^We only shipped 125 men. The outlook for the next couple of weeks looks as though we will continue on the slow bell. There were quite a few men who were on the beach here, that took off for the City of Brotherly Love due to the fact it seems as though that port is in the "boom area." We are thankful'that Philadelphia has had this spurt in shipping as it has relieved some of the pressure in our port. So as the aforementioned figures indicate, I wouldn't advise any of the mem­ bers to come here unless they can see their way clear to stick around a month or so. At this time, I would like to thank the membership for the way they have been bringing the ships into the Port of Baltimore. As the ships paying off here have all been clean. We do have a few hours pending in the black gang on the Logans Rohring Fort; also a cou­ ple of hours on the Oremar which we are certain will be settled to the satisfaction of the members involved. These OT disputes have been forwarded to New York and we should have the clarifications returned here shortly. These are the only outstanding beefs in the port at the present time. We had the following ships pay­ ing off here in the past two weeks: Trojan Seaman of Troy; Petrolite of Tanker Sag; Santore, Venore, Feltore, Cubore and Marore of Ore; Sweetwater of Metro Petro; Lone Jack and Council Grove of Cities Service; Mae and Evelyn of Bull; Steel Admiral of Isthmian; Ragnar Naess of Seatransport; Azalea City df Waterman; Mankato Victory of Victory Carriers; Strathbay of Strathmore and Oremar of Calmar. Signing On Ships signing on were the Steel Seafarer, Steel Admiral and Steel Flyer of Isthmian; Santore, Feltore, Cubore and Marore of Ore; Lone Jack and Council Grove of Cities Service; Azalea City of Waterman; Strathbay of Strathmore and the Oremar of Calmar. In-transit vessels were Antinous, Bienville and De Soto of Water­ man; Portmar, Beth-Coaster, Alamar and Calmar of Calmar; Rosario, Edith and Hilton of Bull; Robin Mowbray and Robin Trent of Seas; Steel Rover and Steel Shipping Figures Recorder of Isthmian; Alcoa Puri­ tan and Alcoa Runner of Alcoa and the Trinity of Carras. I expect to see quite a few of the old-timers around this port in the very near future because, as you know, we are really big league now. Our Baltimore Orioles haven't been winning many games, but they sure have been scaring the daylights out of the opposition. I think before vei-y long, we will be winning instead of losing more of these heart-break games. We also have the Preakness coming up here at Pimlico, at old hill-top, which draws the public from all over the country. So if you fellows have plenty of old green stuff and a few leisure days, I am sure that you will be more than welcome. Also the weather is most favorable for these activities. Headquarters has been looking over the new building, and they were favorably impressed with the progress that was being made to­ ward the completion of the build­ ing. I "understand that they will return to Baltimore' for another inspection on June I and that in my report of June 2 I will be able to tell you just when we are mov­ ing into the new hall and give you further details on the whole set-up. Retail Sales Begin To those of you who are ac­ quainted with the Sea Chest in the Port of Baltimore, it is now open for retail business and if there is any gear or other accessories that you may need, the boys at the Sea Chest are ready and willing to serve you. By buying at the Sea Chest you not only receive better merchandise, but save yourself money, too.

We have cleaned the hall out these past two weeks. We had to send out ships light for unrated men to Baltimore. We don't know why, but it seems that ships are all headed for the City of Brotherly Love. Maybe we finally got around to finding out what brotherly love means. All the regular Philadelphia boys have shipped out—that is all except Danny Piccerelli. . The only reason he doesn't ship is that he is on the matrimonial path again and cannot leave long enough to take a ferry from here across the river and Piccerelli back. He is think­ ing of retiring his book, but the bets around here are ten to one that he will be waving goodbye on a ship going down the Delaware River before long. One of the btheis hanging around Philly, of course, is the old standby. Moon Mullins. His reason is definitely not matrimonial. Everyone is anxiously awaiting the outcome of the AFL-ILA vote against the old ILA. The bet so far as we can see is three to one in favor of the AFL-ILA, the only trouble is there aren't many old ILA takers. A. S. Carduilo Philadelphia Port Agent t. i. i.

The impression, which is quite general, that he was Dutch arose from the faet that his third voyage, in the Half Moon, was un­ dertaken under the auspices of the Dutch East India Company, and Dutch writers usually spell his name Hendrik. Hudson's first two voyages of exploration were made for a British association known as the Muscovy Company. He under­ took the third voyage for the Dutch with the idea of finding a passage to China, and it was on this trip, in 1609, that he explored New York Bay and the river which bears his name. t 4" 4- The material which we call rub­ ber was not known in Europe be­ fore the voyages of Columbus. The first probable mention of what was later called rubber occurs in an account written by Columbus after his second trip, in which he tells of the "bouncing balls" with which the people of Haiti amused them­ selves. However, no really satis­ factory use for "elastic gum," as It was then called, was found un­ til 300 years later, when a chemist discovered that rubber was an ex­ cellent material for rubbing out pencil marks, and the first eraser was born. :. ^ ^i: •i' t '.::f MEET THE INQUIRING SEAFARER SEAFARER Lethe, meaning forgetfulness, whose waters were believed to pos­ sess such properties that anyone Question: Are you satisfied with who drank them forgot about all of the past.

The Gravy Train The latest proposal, eagerly embraced by the Maritime Ad­ ministration, that 81 Liberty ships be permitted to run away to low-wage foreign flags even though most of them are in hock to Uncle Sam up to their ears, indicates the haphazard and questionably way in which maritime policy is being ad­ ministered in Washington. Instead of being concerned about drafting a sound program for all segments of the industry including tramp operations, the US agency appears to be concerned only with covering up and getting off the hook. In order to do so, it is ready and willing to encourage addi­ tional cutthroat competition under runaway registry against responsible shipping companies under the US flag. Examination of the records show that a good number of the operators involved paid little or nothing on mortgages owed Uncle Sam for their ships in all the years they rode the gravy train. Now that things are slow because of the lack of US military cargoes, they are ready to take "their" ships (actually owned by the US Government) to greener pastures. The Maritime Administration says that this move is the only way the US can collect on mortgage money due. But if some of the operators were permitted to get away without paying in the past, it's hard to see how, once they are under foreign flag, that the Maritime Administration will be able to collect. Actually the Maritime Administration weakened rather than strengthened the merchant marine because it encour­ aged the fly-by-nighters to milk the profits out of their opera­ tions and let the rest go hang. The responsible tramp ship operators, who played it fair and square with the Govern-' ment and paid off their mortgages, were put at a considerable disadvantage accordingly. The SIU has consistently favored a program of aid to the maritime industry. But such aid should^be established on a regular basis, through legislation, for the promotion of Ameri­ can-flag shipping. Looking the other way while some ship­ owners tear up their bills is a pretty poor maritime program. Ji 3^ ^ Brass Vs. Seaman Abusive treatment of civilian seamen by military "officials in various areas has been documented before in the LOG, but the events on the Tagalam in Japan indicate there still is no end in sight. The part played by a Navy Intelligence Unit in Sasebo, with the Tagalam's skipper egging them on, centered around some machinery missing from the vessel, and the blanket ac­ cusation of guilt against the whole crew by the mast^. Later events, with the missing items already recovered and no evidence against the crew, dictated some prudence by the captain and the Navy in handling the matter from then on. Despite this, crewmembers were forced to be "mugged" by a Navy photographer jUst as if they were in a police line-up. Incidents like this don't help better already-poor relations between merchant seamen and the military. While it is re­ ported that the Defense Department has a new set of rules dealing with shore leave in areas under military control—a particular sore point—obviously a lot more has to be done. After all, we are on the same team. That $58,000 This issue of the SEAFARERS LOG contains a special sup­ plement listing $58,000 in unclaimed wages due a large group of Seafarers who worked at one time or another for the Mis­ sissippi Shipping Company. The amounts are small in some cases, but in others they run into several hundred dollars. Practically all of the money on the list represents retro­ active wages resulting from the Union's successful negotia­ tion of contract increases. ' Since the Unibn has always made a point of insisting on retroactivity, and the company is ob­ ligated to pay the mdney accordingly, Seafarers caii make both themselves arid the company hapjpy by collecting the cash that's rightfully theirs, Page Thlrteem LOG '-'1 LEHER of the WEEK Backs Plan For Accident Forms To the Editor: As regarding Stewart Hanks suggestion of hospital forms on ships, I say it would be another step forward by the SIU in its con­ stant fight to better the needs of its members as well as seamen in general.

Affiliated with the SIU of North America since 1941, the men who work the fishing fleets from New York to Rockland, Me., a tradition of excellent food in the flshing fleets. are part of a 300-year-old New England It's not unusual to have a $600 food bill for 17 tradition. The union histafy of the area men on a nine or ten-day trip. itself dates back almost 40 years to 1915, jHad To Work At Any Time the year of the first national maritime Before the union came on the scene, the men .1 ttnke, when the old Fishermen's Union of the Atlantic was organized. The ways of the fishing boats are altogether different, however. Tradition and age-old cus­ toms are well grounded into the working livei of the commercial fishermen. The merchant sea-' man is concerned with his cargo only when it endangers the safety of his ship and the lives of his shipmates and himself. His only other coilcern for it is that there be enough cargo moving in the first place to assure con. tinued shipping and a job for him when he wants it. Fishermen, on the other hand, are inti­ mately 'concerned with every phase of the Fat McHugh operation — from the time the boat loads stores before leaving port until the last pound of fish is sold when it returns. Earn Share of Net Profits Fishermen don't work for wages; they share in the net profits of a catch. If a boatload of fish is sold for $5,000, the owner takes 40 percent ($2,000), deducts the cost of oil, food, ice and the other running expenses of the boat from the bal­ ance and the rest is split up among the crew on a share basis. From his share, the owner pays the maintenance expenses of the boat, supplying the nets and other essential trawling gear. A deceht trip for one of the small boats will take in about, $10,000 worth of fish. During World War II, when consumption of fish skyrocketed due to the cost of meat, shares ran as high as $400 for a trip of ten days or less. The profits were high also due to the fact that the Navy took over many boats for conversion as minesweepers and that still others were themselves victims of mines and submarine attacks. This cut down the annual ^tch and boosted the demand further. The 500-odd boats manned by the union fish out of New York, Boston, Gloucester and New Bedford, Mass., and Portland and Rockland, Me. They are small diesel jobs of 50-100 tons in most of the ports, and range from 200-500 tons in the fleets out of Boston, which ranks as the major flshing port and boasts the most specialized ship­ ping and storage facilities. The boats are ex­ tremely compact and the living is intimate. Fishing is done mainly at George's Banks, lo­ cated 100 miles running east and west and 75-80 miles running north-south off Nantucket Island, Mass., and at the fabled Grand Banks southeast of Newfoundland which are about triple the size of George's Banks. The larger boats carry an average crew of 17 men; the smaller ones about 11. They carry one cook, with the galley generally located on deck over the engine room aft. Some of the smaller boats have the galley right in the foc'sle, where the men sleep in double-tiered bunks.

M i« .a had to go out and work whenever the owne^or captain said so. The boat would come in to the pier, unload, shares would be parceled out and the men would have to ship out immediately the same night, without any time to go home. They now work six hours on, six hours off around the clock, and their union contract spells out the conditions under which they can work. Generally, a new trip can't get underway until they've had at least 24 hours off since completing discharge of the previous catch. In Boston, the men also get a minimum guarantee of $7 a day, flsh or no fish. Originally, the Atlantic Fishermen's Union was formed in 1937 when the National Maritime Un­ ion (CIO) entered the fishery field, but by the end of the same year the men voted to go AFL overwhelmingly and threw the Communist lead­ ers who hjad infiltrated the union out of their hall. Their attion was upheld later by the court and the fishermen received an AFL charter o'n Jan­ uary 17, 1938, several months before the SIUA&G Di.strict was organized. Three years later, a referendum vote brought them in the Seafarers, International Union. At the helm as secretarytreasurer in 1937, Pat McHugh has headed the union ever since, with headquarters in Boston. A major problem in the fishing industry, fre­ quently bringing hard times to the fishing fleets, is that if the fish are not running or a boat can't locate any schools of fish, it has to go back to port with a light load. Though packed in ice, the flsh wiil not keep too long. Experiments On Freezing Fish Accordingly, the Government is right now ex­ perimenting with a system of freezing fish immediateiy at sea. If this could be worked out, the boats could stay out as long as necessary to get a full load and make the trip pay, since they are too small ;to take existing refrigeration units. To­ day, most boats can only stay out about two weeks, and there is a nine-day limit imposed in the Summertime. The latest development in the industry is a "fish scope," a sort of reverse periscope, which has been adopted by some fleets. With this de­ vice, boats can cruise the fishing grounds and easily search the bottom. If there are no fish around, they can immediately head elsewhere without wasting valuable time. Two-way radio and loran to assist in navigation is universal on the fishing boats, some of which have added radar as well. But although the traditions.of the fishing fleets date back to colonial times, the native New Eng-* landers who used to man the bulk of them started giving up fishing 100 years ago because of the dangers involved. In the last century, immigration to the US brought thousands of fishing folk from Scan­ dinavia and Ireland, as well as Nova Scotians, to Boston, and today they make up a largp part of ttic crews of the New England fleets. Italians and Portuguese from the Azores fish out of his­ toric Gloucester these days, still using their old-world customs, but quick to act on any bee' like all good union men.

SEAFARERS MARITIME Vv.' ll >.%• i An Author At Sea On the Jon Aluminum On Ships While an all-aluminum ship of commercial size may be too expen­ sive and impractical for present-day consideration, it's clear that alumi­ num has "arrived" for shipboard use, with the metal finding Increas­ ingly common application. Aluminum lifeboats are a very popular In­ stallation, with virtually every- neyir vessel coming out of the yards carrying them. Including the Mariners.and new tankers now being built. But there are quite a few other places on a ship that are getting aluminum fittings. In this respect, European shipbuilders'hav« been way ahead of their American counterparts, with European yards using aluminum widely early in the 1930's. It's only since World War II that aluminum has gotten much use on American ships. Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum's use on shipboard derives from several very good rea­ sons—great strength, lighter weight, ease of working and resistance to rusting and corrosion, whether from air, sea water or any other, source. If a ship can save weight through use of aluminum, it can lug more cargo and operate with less fuel. And obviously, aluminum spares, that chipping hammer. As far as thie crewmembers are concerned, ihe • use of aluminum reduces maintenance work accordingly. While this tiiay affect the amount of overtime it's comforting to know, for instance, that the lifeboats are unlikely to have rusted-through bottoms because they are of aluminum construction. . As a matter of fact, there are plenty of pretty good-sized ships around like large yachts, barges and the like, wbose hulls are made entirely of aluminum. The lightness of the alumi­ num for barges means that they can have a shallower draft and be used during the dry season in those parts of the world where rivers tend to dry up to trickles in hot weather. In many instances, these aluminum barges go into service with unpaihted hulls, which means no work to be done painting bottoms. Here in the States, the Alcoa Steamship Company has used Aluminum Installations are wide-spread aluminum extensively on Alcoa passenger ships such as the on-its passenger ships, the Alcoa Corsair (above). the Corsair, Cavalier and Clipper, which is only natural, considering the company's stock in trade. The lifeboats, boat davits, smokestacks, signs, hand rails, fixed lights and outside ladders are made of aluminum, as well as doors and windows on the promenade decks, upper deck housing, awn­ ings, and gangways. Ships built in later years, such as the superliner United States, have followed the pattern established by Alcoa on its postwar passenger ships. These installations are typical of the type in which aluminum hat been used extensively. On foreign-flag ships there are instances in which the entire superstructure has been made of aluminum, such as the Norwegian ship Fernplant. Other vessels have used aluminum for ventilating and refrigeration ducts, for movable partitions in holds of bulk cargo carriers and other purposes. Aluminum can be used almost everywhere that steel is usable with the only limitation being whether the higher initial cost can be made up by a long-term saving. iliilliiWiiI'M 4' 4 4 Non-Skid Flooring Seafarers who have known first-hand, som'etimes through personal experience, the dangers of slipping and sliding on wet or oily floor plates, staircases and the like, would no doubt welcome some kind of skidproof flooring especially on catwalks, around engine spaces and on stairways. There are several companies which put out floor toppings, or special stairway and iaddier treads to avoid accidents of this kind. One manufacturer puts out a plastic floor topping, which they claim is. skidproof and slip-proof. The product, known as X-L Veneer, can be put on metal surfaces with a trowel and, it is claimed, forms a tightlybonded veneer to the floor plates underneath. A special type of ladder tread, called "Hy Tenso Safe Tread" is designed to meet the problem of. slippage and broken treads on ladders and stairways. The manufacturer claims that the tread is unbreakable, gives secure footing and resists salt water corrosion. By Bernard Seaman �SEAFARERS May 11^ 1954 i-^Sy Paye ScTenteca..

Brother Thomas states that he has been staying with Brother Moon Kouns down in Pearl River, La., for several weeks and that nothing will ever seem quite the same again. Thomas claims that Moon Kerolia thinks he Is play­ ing a game of "matching" on every Saturday and Sunday, because the Kouns eats two bushels of crawfish every weekend, heads and tails. "Thomas also tells me that Kouns has been in . the market to try and get an inner spring mat­ tress for his frail body. All to no avail, however, with Moon deciding on the next best thing. He decided to buy a pool table to sleep on. "I also understand from the grapevine that Moon is running •for mayor in Pearl River.

What a thriller that gamo was. He held the St. Marks Clinic to 96 hits. I also remember the first time Brother Kouns went to jail. He was walking home minding his own business when he passed by a lot and picked up a piece of rope. When he got home he dis­ covered a cow on the other end of it. "One thing I must say about him is that he has learned a lot of re­ spect since he is doorman at tho hall. Now when he's talking to somebody and he yawns he says 'excuse me.'

Address any questions to the Photo Editor, c/o the LOG at 675 Fourth Avenue, Brooklyn. This includes information on how to operate certain types of cameras, advice on camera purchases, photo-finishing techniques, plus informa­ tion on a variety of camera equipment, such as enlargers, flash guns, etc. Drop the editor a line or if you are around the hall come up to see him.) A number of Seafarer-shutterbugs have Inquired about customs reg­ ulations of foreign countries regarding photographic equipment. Since some of these regulations, or, rather, lack of knowledge of these rules, can prove annoying, here's a rundown of those that we've been able to get. These are the official regulations, but as Seafarers know, their Interpretation is left to the Individual official. Seafarers may never get to some of the countries listed below, but here's the complete list that we've been able to compile. Austria and Belgium: One movie camera and one still camera; two rolls of still camera film and one roll of movie film. Denmark: No definite regulations concerning cameras. Consulate ad­ vises that the customs officials are liberal with film for personal use. Finland: "A reasonable amount of photographic supplies and cam­ eras are allowed, but be absolutely sure to declare it all on leaving your ship."

Seafarer Wants SIU Health Plan To the Editor: In recent months there has been much argument about the proposed closing of the marine hospitals to merchant seamen. I think that we, as a whole, in the Seafarers Inter­ national Unioni^should have the benefit of hospitalization at all times in case we are deprived of these facilities. I have been making a lot of inquiries into this matter and find that a large majority of the members are very much in­ terested in having some sort of protection in case of sickness or injury. Seafarers' wives and children should be included, even if each member has to be assessed $10. This, I think, would be lots better insurance for the families of Sea­ farers than we could get from any outside source and it is cheap enough not to hurt anyone, as we are still getting our vacation pay. At the present time I am paying $43 for my wife and one child, not including myself. Pat Ryan 4» 4) 4- Urge Shipboard Accident Forms To the Editor: We the delegates of the Golden City take, this opportunity to fur­ ther clarify the action taken at our regular shipboard meeting on this date as regards to the Union sup­ plying accident forms on board all SlU-contracted ships. This matter was discussed for some time and at considerable length during the meeting by the entire crew and voted on. The crew went on' record as being unani­ mously and whole-heartedly in fa­ vor of such a system. There were many advantages pointed out by various crewmembers, a few of which you will find listed below. This system would provide the Union Welfare Services with all details on men left in foreign ports for hospitalization, such as what ports men were left in, reasons they were left, under what condi­ tions they left the ship and when. This would enable the Union to better look out after the men re­ gardless of what remote hospitals they may be in throughout the world. This system would also tend to eliminate the possibility of com­ pany officers on board the ships of construing the wording of the acci­ dent report to the company advan­ tage which would, naturally, be to the seaman's disadvantage. This system would also enable the Union to have a first-hand rec­ ord of all accidents as well as of all witnesses in the crew to any one particular accident. There were also other advantages pointed out, but they were pri­ marily based on the three points above. James Flanagan C. A. HonorowsU \ Cliironl Newton S. Cantor Thanks Crews Of Two Ships To the Editor: I am requesting that this letter be published in the SEAFARERS LOG as my expression of thanks to the many good brothers on board the Del Norte. I am a full bookman who was a crewmember of the Del Alba, and who was hospitalized in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for three opera­ tions in one day. I was pretty bad off for the first few days after the operations. While I was hospitalized, one of the crewmembers of the Del Mar came to see me. His name was Rodriguez, and he brought me some soap, matches, cigar­ ettes and reading material. His fel10 w crewmem­ bers donated to me a couple of Rodrigura cartons of cigar­ ettes and other items once more, before the ship sailed back to the States. I want to thank them all for their kindness to me. One week after the Del Mar sailed, the Del Norte came into port. I wrote a letter to the ship's delegate on board asking for a few more cigarettes and other items for me when I found out that I was being sent back to the States on the Del Norte on her return voyage, as a crewmember assigned to the hospital. Got Dough, Too As soon as I got aboard the ship the ship's delegate gave me the items he had for me. He also gave me some money from the ship's fund.

Port O' Call Ms Best^ She Says To the Editor: I wish to express my thanks for a lovely evening spent at the Port O' Call recently, both on behalf of my sister and myself. It was her first visit there and the first time she had ever been around seamen. She enjoyed herself immensely and found the manager and staff most friendly and helpful, even to the extent of presenting her with her first LOG, which she enjoyed read­ ing. She sees now what she has mi.ssed in not having been as nauticalminded as I have been. We also found the company of the seamen present most gentlemanly com­ pared to most other places. The food was delicious and the atmos­ phere was just right. I wish also to express my thanks to the L(XT for printing the poems which I have sent to them.

One hundred days, fifteen in port and eighty home was the average time con­ sumed by the clippers in the early 1850's. Thie clipper era of shipbuilding dawned in the .middle 1830's with the great China trade. Shippers sought speedier ships to the trouble of seeking the more by ship around the Horn, took the for their cargoes, for time at glamorous gold. Shoes at one time across the Isthmus of Pana­ sea was money out of their sold for $75 a pair, which gives an route ma from Chagres to Panama, by pockets. The rabe was on then for ships of greyhound speed. About 1849 in New York City all the East Biver shoreline, from Wall Street to Eleventh Street was infected by a fever of shipbuilding. Posters announcing sailings cov­ ered every dead wall and the run­ ning time of the most newly ar­ rived clipper vvas a popular topic of conversation. The posters were usually in vivid colors announcing the time of de­ parture of the clipper ship with its fastest running time to Sart Fran­ cisco and back prominently dis­ played. Gold Rush Impetus Great impetus was given to the building of clipper ships by the Gold Rush of 1849 and it was re­ sponsible for the launching of 160 clippers within the' space of four years. It is said that during the year before the discovery of the first nugget in California, only two ships from Atlantic ports had vis­ ited San Francisco Bay. In the year and a half that followed, more than 700 vessels sailed into that magni­ ficent harbor bringing 100,000 per­ sons. The sudden influx of such a num­ ber of persons created a demand for food, clothing and working tools far beyond the dreams of present suppliers, which meant the prices of such things rose sky-high and. made transportation in most cases a fabulously profitable busi­ ness. It was not unusual for a clip­ per to pay for herself on a single round-trip voyage and many times with considerable profit besides. Many fortunes were made by suppliers who did not have to go idea as .to costs. In hundreds of cases, such was the effect of the craze for gold on the minds of its seekers that ves­ sels on arriving at San Francisco were run aground an^ abandoned by their passengers and crews. There were 500 deserted ships in the harbor by July of 1850, ac­ cording to the Encyclopedia Britannica. Of the 80,000 men reaching the West Coast in 1849, it is estimated that 40,000 came by sea. Hordes of gold seekers, instead of going ' ' Larger and stronger than the common galley, though not as speedy, the Galleass had been considerably developed by the end of 'the 15th century and played an important role in many great naval combats. It proved to be a deciding factor in the battle of Lepanto (1571), resuiting in the victory of the western nations in their istruggle to end the menace' of Turkish domina­ tion in Europe. Ships of this type carried 20 or more oars on a (From "Tho Book of Old Ship*" (Doubleday). by Grant and Culver.) side, plus sail, and had large platforms or decjcs forward and aft u^on which stood part of its broadside artillery. A solid deck covered the waist above the rowers and provided a large open space for handling the sails and for keeping additional guns. A galleass of 600 tons and having 20 gars on a side is said to have required five men at each par. Thus, these ships carried a large number of men, without even counting the soldiers and gunners, boat and mules, if fortunate enough to be able to hire or buy one of the animals. Those who got through endured terrible hardships on the way, especially those who covered the distance on foot, carry­ ing all their goods on their backs. Although the elipper ship was ideally suited for swift ocean pas­ sage of passengers and cargo, it had its faults. She could tear through the sea at furious speed, but her skipper, crowding her masts with every possible stitch of canvas in the hope of breaking a record, sometimes saw those masts A i lixtrranHr' Clit>|>«<r Blilp pulled up by the roots, or sails and spars ripped bodily from the rig­ ging ahd borne away to leeward.

SjBEDT THE SEAFARERS With WALTER SIEKMANN (Neua obout men In the hospitals and Seafarers receiving SJV Wel­ fare Benefits will be carried in. this column. It is written by Seafarer Walter Siekmann based on items of interest turned up while he makes his rounds in his post as Director of Welfare Services.) Heading off the roster of hospitalized Seafarers in my report this week is oldtimer Timothy McCarthy. McCarthy, as you might have suspected, hails from Boston, Mass., but is now in the Staten Island hospital. He entered the early part of May after repatriation. He has a recurrence of ulcer trouble and was feeling pretty low for awhile. His last job was AB aboard the Tagalam. ' Juan Leiba has some stomach trouble himself in the same institution. He was on the Steel Architect of Isthmian before he headed into the Staten Island drydock, but he doesn't mind too much-since he's right around home while convalesc­ ing. Also hailing from New York is Jose Cortes, who last shipped as an- AB on the Marina. He's been drydocked by a double hernia, but is doing fairly well after the operation. He has hopes of getting out in about a week or so. One Seafarer who was recently discharged after a hernia operation was Francisco Antonetti, a Brook­ lyn seaman. IJis last job was on the Suzanne as Chief Leiba Cook, and he hopes to be cooking up a mess of food for the boys on his next ship in the near future. In a rather different vein, there comes news to the Welfare Depart­ ment th,at Marion Lavine, an oldtimer in the Union, has just become the proud father of a bouncing lad. The baby was born April 25, 1954, weighing in at eight pounds at Los Angeles, Calif. Lavine got his book in Mobile back in 1938, when the SIU won in the Gulf. Back to the aiitiseptic and suture division, we find John Zuzov, of Newcastle, Pa., resting comfortably in the hospital after a very difficult time. Machinist aboard the Winter Hill, Zuzov was Injured aboard the vessel and le^t it in the Port of Boston, entraining to New York. After prelimi­ nary examination at the Staten Island hospital, he was refused admittance. However, he was in bad shape and took a cab to another local hospital. The next day he contacted the Welfare Services Department to let them know his condition and ivhereabouts. Welfare picked him up and arranged for his admittance to the USPHS hospital the next day. He was operated on shortly thereafter and is Lavine doing fairly well after much initial trouble. Clarence Dowdy is in the hospital a much wiser man. The galley utility aboard the Steel Fabricator, Dowdy got his hand in the way of the knife when he was cutting some meat, slicing part of his hand, too. Right now the Portsmouth, Va., native is doing fairly well and hopes to be out soon. SEAFARERS Pate Twenty-seTca LOG Imposter Stubs Toe On Union An attempt by a phony to misrespresent himself as an SIU Union representative and get an "in" on a Seafarer's death benefit backfired thanks to the action of the Seafarer's wife, the police of Athens, Pa., and Welfare Services. As a result, when last seen, the phony was headed across the county line ' in the general direction of collection for that purpose. there. New York, mission not a^ccom- In the course of disposal of the Meanwhile, Mrs. McKeel thought plished. Had it not been for a telephone call made to the widow by Welfare Services in headquarters, as part of the standard routine of seeing to it that the families of Seafarers get proper service on their needs, the hoax might have never been detected and the imposter might have pulled off his confidence game at the expense of the de­ ceased Seafarer's family. Electrocuted On Ship The target of the attempt was Mrs. Jean McKeel, widow of Sea­ farer Dorward McKeel, electrician. The latter suffered a fatal accident on the Robin Trent on April 2, when he was electrocuted just as the ship was leaving Weehawken, New Jersey. When the crew notified Welfare Services of the accident, the Union . office assisted in the ar­ rangements, located the deceased Seafarer's gear in the Weehawken police station and handled other necessary routine. A floral wreath was ordered at a local florist on behalf of the crew which took up a case. Welfare Services called up the Seafarer's wife to find if she had gone through all the necessary procedure to collect the death ben­ efit. Mrs. McKeel was astonished to get the call, saying that just 15 minutes before that she had gotten a call from "the union" that a representative was flying out to see her and she should meet him it the airport at 2 PM. After convincing ner that this was really the "unioh" calling, by having her call back the SIU at the telephone number listed in the LOG, Welfare Services told her that the previous call apparently came from an im­ poster. Since it was too late to catch the plane, a Welfare Serv­ ices representa­ tive hopped into his car to drive down to her McKeel home, while Mrs. McKeel was instructed to try to stall the imposter until he got 'Carbon And Valve Job' Done On Seafarer's Ailing Heart FINAL DISPATCH Anne- Co., Va.; burial took place at Riverside Memorial Cemetery, Norfolk, Va.

Seafarer Stanley Swlenckoski chats with Welfare Services Representative Milton Flynn. Rare heart operation was a complete success. Another one of those rare heart operations that is turning up with increasing frequency lately was performed recently on Seafarer Stanley Swlenckoski. As a result, he is now on his way back to full health after tottering on the brink ous heart condition which they be­ for some time. lieve, was aggravated by the Down to 140 pounds and hardly able to walk just before the sur­ gery, Swlenckoski is a healthy 180 today and feeling better than he has for some time. He believes that if it were not for the help he received through the Welfare Services Department and the skill of the operating surgeon he would not have been able to survive. Damaged in Childhood Basically Swlenckoski was suf­ fering from what the non-medical man would call poor valve action. The doctors have told him, he says, that the valve in question was probably damaged during child­ hood by an attack of rheqmatic fever. Whatever the cause, Swlenckoski was appai-ently in good health through the years until he dislo­ cated his shoulder in an accidents in April, 1951. From there, his troubles began. After he had been in the hospital a few months and was still not feeling well, the doc­ tors gave him a thorough goingover and"dlsddvetwi'he had •k'seriv accident. By February of this year, Swienckoski said, he was down to 140 pounds. The discomfort was so great that he couldn't lie 'down and had to sleep standing up. He couldn't walk a block without gasp­ ing for breath, and the medical opinion was that short of special surgery, he wouldn't be able to survive rhuch longer. Repaired Leaky Valve Arrangements were made with the help of Welfare Services to transfer him to Philadelphia where a famous surgeon. Dr. Charles P. Bailey of the Bailey Thoracic Clinic, performed the delicate operation. The surgeon removed three large clots in his auricular chamber and repaired the leaky valve as well as enlarging the valve opening so that it could function efficiently. As a result Swlenckoski has shown a rapid recovery and expects to be able to go b.ick to sea as he put it, "better than I ever was JiefoeeJl WSW.W «« « perhaps she had better notify the local police of the whole affair. The chief of police was informed of what happened and immediately made arrangements to shadow the phony on his arrival. When he got to the local airport, Mrs. McKeel was not waiting for him, so he called her at her house. She said that she told him she wasn't feeling well and couldn't meet him. Subsequently, she said, the police reported that he called a number in New York City and asked if it was alright to spend taxi fare to go to the McKeel house. Permission was granted from an unknown source at the other end of the wire, and the phony headed for the McKeel home under close surveillance by the local police. When he got to the house, Mrs. McKeel said, he no longer claimed he was a Union representative but said he was a "friend" and "ship­ mate" of McKeel's. The first thing he asked for was the "Union in­ surance policy." Although posing as a seaman, he was ignorant of the fact that the Union Welfare Plan is self-administered, and there is no insurance policy in the con­ ventional sense to cover' the death benefit. Then, Mrs. McKeel continued, the man broke out some papers which looked like legal documents and asked her to sign them right then and there. She stalled him around and asked him if he couldn't leave the papers overnight so she could study them and see what she was signing. The man said that he couldn't possibly do that. She went to the phone and called a local attorney whom she ^ knew. He advised her not to sign anything on the spot. As the conversation went on, with Mrs. McKeel's daughter pi-esent and a local policeman con­ cealed in a spot where he could hear everything, the phony be­ came increasingly nervous. He was unable to show any credentials, he couldn't identify McKeel's picture from among other photos and in other ways contradicted himself considerably. Finally he decided that the best course was to get out of the house fast. He took off luckily for him before the Welfare Sei-vices repre­ sentative arrived, and headed east­ ward as fast as he could go. �SEAFARERS jfiV' • V ^ OFFICIAl OBGAN OP TH E S E Af AR E R S I NTE R N ATI O N AL U N I o M .
