MONTREAL—SIU of NA delegates initiated a new ap preach to the problem, of runaway flag shipping as the con­ vention made arrangements for a close working relationship with the International Trans--*^ portworkers Federation to or ganize these vessels. Dele­ gates instructed SIU of NA presi­ dent, Harry Lundberg, to meet with representatives of the ITF Seafarers and Dockers section to give the full support of the SIU toward briuging these ships under direct ITF contract. Simultaneously, delegates de­ nounced the ILA-sponsored "Uni­ ted International Seamen's Union" which has been operating in New York as a crimp rig for runaway flag operations. Delegates assailed the crimp outfit for abusing and shaking-down poorly-paid foreign seamen on the runaway ships.

Among matters discussed were the workings of the SIU's new seniority hiring system, in opera­ tion since early in March;'plan­ ning and procedure for administra­ tion of new family benefits under the SIU Welfare Plan; and the threat of restrictive legislation such as the Bonner proposal to hamstring sea unions on contract negotiations and freeze sea wages. The agents agreed that the SIU should oppose this and any similar legislation as force fully as pos­ sible. Review Of Shipping Shipping conditions in the vari­ ous ports were discussed and the financial status of Union funds was reviewed with a View toward implementing economy recommen­ dations made by headquarters and approved by the membership. The current status of the building pro­ gram was taking up now that im­ provements in Mobile havd been completed, and opportunities for organizational activity were ex­ plored. The agents also participated in the drafting of the official SIU A&G District report which was presented to the SIU of NA con­ vention in Montreal;.• Visiting-SIU headquarters with his youngsters, Seafarer Wil-" lard Mohrman, oiler, gives a careful onceover to the recent issuo of the LOG announcing the new family hospital-surgical benefits.

Cobb Quiify In Hall Murder Plot HACKENSACK, NJ—Arrested last December while pack­ ing a shotgun outside the New Jersey home of SIU SecretaryTreasurer Paul Hall, James Cobb of Tampa has pleaded guilty to four charges involv-'t' ing conspiracy to murder Hall. Cobb will be sentenced on June 17. Still to be tried are four others who were indicted in the plot against Hall: Ray White, former SIU Tampa port agent who was implicated by Cobb as the man who hired him for the job; White's brother. Steely White who Is a fugitive; Carmen Priore and Ed­ ward Taffe who were named as gobetweens. Five John Doe Indictr ments are also hanging fire. Cobb was arrested on December 23, 1954, while seated in a car out­ side Hall's home. According" to the authorities, he said In his confes­ sion that he had been hired by White to do the job for $15,900, the bulk of which was to be paid James Cobb him later on by Ben Sterling, a which aerves as a crimp hall for New York attorney. runaway flag shipowners.

As guideposts to the comniittee the delegates approved the follow­ ing principles under which it should act: Member Safeguards In any merger, the SIU of NA will insist that the membership be fully profected against Communist influence on the waterfront and in the labor movement iii -general. Delegates recognize that the pro­ posed AFL-CIO cohstitution takes note of the Communist problem, but they expressed concern over the behavior of reputed ex-Communists and former fellow trav­ elers who still hayp positions of committee to obtain pledges that the maritime hiring halls, and the epiployment rights and security of union, members be protected and guaranteed and "existing inequi­ ties in this area must be elimin­ ated" as well as other inequities. Since .the AFL has taken a firm position that unions such as the corrupt ILA must not be per­ mitted to hold membership in the federation, the delegates dem'hnded that assurances be given from all unions involved that they will support'the AFL stand on the ILA. Finally, the delegates, while rec­ ognizing the importance of coop­ erating with management where it is for the benefit of union mem­ bers, ruled out any arrangements where labor serves as the tail to management's kite on so-called la­ bor-management committees. • For - the time being, committee members will consist of SIU of NA President Harry Lundeberg and Secretary-Treasurer John Hawk. The two-man committee will be em­ powered to add to its membership from the ranks of various district officers when actual negotiations on these terms take place. No Controls Needed, SIU OnAnySIUQuestions Welfare? Tells Gov't Answering an invitation ito appear before the House Mer­ chant Marine and Fisheries Committee on proposals for re­ stricting and controlling maritime unions, SIU Sccretai-y-Treasurer Paul Hall has informed the com­ mittee that the SIU is unafterably opposed to these proposals. The proposals, which were put forth by committee chairman Her­ bert C. Bonner of North Carolina, call for a wage freeze on US ships and the establishment of a Govern­ ment board with power to cohtrol maritime contract negotiations and settlement of shipboard beefs. The invitation to Hall from the committee, in the form of a -tele­ gram, reads as follows: , "Paul Hall, Secretary-Treasurer "Seafarers International Union "Are you willing to meet with this committee latter part of this week pursuant to invitation in let­ ter of May 24?

The number of jobs shipped (1206) outstripped registration (1178) for the first time since mid-September, 1954. Indications are that it will hold about the same for a time. The boost in activity produced a spurt of jobs in New York, Phila­ delphia, Norfolk and Miami. Savannah, way below normal for weeks, showed signs on of life again, and most of the other ports, with the excep­ tion of Boston, remained about the same.

B shipping continued good, as the ntimber of men shipped from this group ran just a little bfehind total class B registration for the period. Moreover, five percent of the total jobs shipped went to class C men—men with ab­ solutely no seniority in the industry. The major gains scored by New York, Philadelphia (tripled),-Norfolk (doubled) and Miami (doubled) overshadowed slight dips in Wilmington and Seattle. Only Boston showed a real drop, the only East Coast port to do so. Good shipping for all seniority groups was reflected particularly in New York and Norfolk, both of which handled more than half the total class C shipping.

The firm's gloomy forecast beai's out SIU charges that the Maritime Administration was doing serious damage to American shipping by permitting transfers.

BME President Wilbur Dickey has been elected as one of the ten vice-presidents of the top body, which includes rep­ resentatives of various SIU of NA affiliates. 3IFOW Added in '53 At the last SIU convention in 1953 only eight spots were filled by election: one spot was held open pending affiliation of the Mai-ine Firemen's Union, which came at a later date. Subsequently, MFOW president, Vincent Malone, was elected to the vacancy. In order to provide for the vacancy, SIU A&G secretary-treasurer, Paul Kail, had stepped aside and de­ clined renomination. This year. Hall was reelected to the board along with Dickey. Dickey's election was in recogni­ tion of the progress of the BME since its autonomy was granted two jears ago. WASHINGTON—A staunch defense of the "50-50" law and of US aid to shipping has been made by Representative John Shelley, California Democrat. Shelley struck back at foreign shipping lobbyists who have^ been attempting to sic the | farm bloc on "50-50" so that i All dressed up end hurrying to get home to their families, Seafarers from the Hurricane step ashore from launch at boat landing in Arabi, La., after the ship paid off out in the stream. Shipping upsurge in New Orleans and lack of wharf space caused payoff to be held in mid-stream. Alcoa, Sugar Runs Liven NO NEW ORLEANS—Busy shipping in this port followed the payoff of several SIU crews recently at the end of Far East voyages. The outlook for the future was brightened also by the anAouncement that a Victory ship will crew up here in mid-June and that three Alcoa C-ls Avill soon resume opera-• tions from here. New Orleans was eliminated from dispute over the number of men The McAllister Victory, re­ the East Coast-Caribbean schedule required to handle bulk sugar held cently brought out of lay-up in Beaumont, Texas, currently is un­ dergoing shipyard repairs and will crew up here about June 15, said Port Agent Lindsey Williams, who just returned from the SIUNA's biennial convention in Montreal. This ship is one of two Govern­ ment-owned Victorys going on "Operation Blue Jay," the sum­ mertime supply run to US Arctic military bases. The McAllister will be operated by Bobin Line. Alcoa Run Resuming Other jobs are expected to open up for Seafarers here when the Al­ coa C-ls report back into the Gulf. 'i«. i«58 LOd of these ships several months ago, but they are returning to a Gulf schedule for an indefinite period, Williams pointed out. The scheduled payoff of the Al­ coa Pointer this week was ex­ pected to be followed by the Alcoa Pilgiim on June 15, and the Alcoa Partner on June 27. Shipping was further stimulated by brisk trade at the American Sugar Refinery Docks, which began receiving cargoes of bulk sugar, an innovation for this port. Bull Line's Angelina was first to report in from Puerto Rico with this type of cargo, but a shoreside up discharging of the cargo for several days. The delay made it necessary for the Barbara Frietchie (Liberty Nav.) to lay at anchor off Algiei-s Point for several days, awaiting wharf space at the refinery docks. She paid off while still in the stream, in the first such payoff to be conducted aboard an SlU-contracted ship here since the end of World War II. The Hurricane (Waterman) arrived June with bulk sugar from the Hawaiian Isl­ ands and also had to be paid off while riding at anchor at the Point. they can monopolize movement of US agricultural surplus. Answering the argument that the agricultural surpluses are com­ mercial cargoes, Shelley pointed out that more than half, of the money being paid by foreign na­ tions for these cargoes does not go to the US Government, which owns the surplus. Instead, the pay­ ments are being used to assist the economies of other nations. He cited as an instance a $15 million tobacco shipment in which the money was to be used to bol­ ster the local economy by building housing which would in turn be leased to American airmen 'sta­ tioned there. Despite this arrange­ ment (which was with the British government), the foreign shipping interests raised a howl about the "50-50" provision and the agree­ ment has not yet been completed. In this instance, he said, the trans­ action could hardly be called a commercial one. Debunks Less Shelley also debunked claims that use of "50-50" would cost the Government millions in additional shipping costs. He pointed out that most of the cargo involved would move on berth lines under confer­ ence rates. The tramps would carry the rest of the American share at a cost approximately $1.7 million greater than foreign tramps. Should "50-50" be repealed or American tramps be withdrawn from the market "foreign tramp rates would rise and the so-called $1.7 million saving would evapo­ rate." In the meanwhile, he said, use of "50-50" is providing jobs for American seamen and pumping large sums into the American economy, while the US Treasury will collect an .estimated $9 million in taxes in personal income and corporation taxes from the mer­ chant marine. Bonner Bill Rapped At SF Meeting SAN FRANCISCO — Sea­ farers here are ready for a fight to whip the proposed "Maritime Labor Stabilization Act" put before the House of Repre­ sentatives recently. They see the bill as nothing more than outright Government interference wilh the freedom of the SIU and. other sea unions to bargain on tlieir own terms. SIU officials, and Seafarers in this port and elsewhere in the Atlantic Si Gulf District, view the measure as a menace to present maritime labor relations, which have been operating smoothly for years now in the SIU, without any Federal Interference. The danger of reduced wages and conditions through arbitrary action of the pro­ posed board, is not taken lightly by SIU men. Shipping Strong On other fronts, shipping held up well in the port, although the figures do not show it because two sliips are laid up here temporarily. But the Northwestern Victory and Sea Comet II were due to crew up the past week, so the outlook re­ mained good. Changes in Union personnel on this coast brought a vote of thanks to Seafarer Donald "Tiny" Mease, who had been serving as patrolman here. Leon "Blondie" Johnson, Baltimore 'patrolmon, is coming to this port in his place. One other change will bring Bill La Fooa, patrolman in Houston, to Seattle, to replace Harvey Mesford, who has been serving as patrolman there. l •; •fci:" YOUR DOLLAR^S WORTH SEAFARERS GUIDE TO BETTER BUYING ?•-- Ten TV Bait Gyps • :'h-.- i:V ife..:-'' -• ^ - "i;' " Television has given bait sellers a new entry into a Seafarer's home besides the media they already had for false bargains—newspaper and radio ads. Unfortunately, it is the people least able to pay who are fooled most often by crooked selling practices which have spread to all parts of the country. TV and radio have become a part of family life, and along with the entertainment comes the persuasive voice of the adver-' tiser. Bait advertising is basically the practice of offering something the salesman has no intention of selling. Here is how the trick works: The salesman says confidentially that the reconditioned vacuum cleaner adverti.sed for $15 "really Isn't worth buying, but he has one for $30 down and small monthly payments." As one housewife re­ ported, "I was dope er»ough to think he was on my side" and out came my rent money." Another wife answered an ad for repairing and reupholstering a sofa and chair for $59. When the salesman arrived, he had nothing to offer for less than $179. The wife succumbed to his sales talk for "wonderful stuff you could just wipe off clean" and paid $25 down. After a month there was no word from the reupholstery firm, no answer on the* phone, and the door padlocked at the ad­ dress given. The police said lots of people had been ^lei-e. Three months, later the firm fi()t in touch with the wife and said she would be charged storage if she didn't pay the rest of the bill and take away her fuimiture. Meanwhile, the firm went right on advertising. That is the strangest part of the nationwide bait trick; that ad­ vertising continues after a "gyp" has been reported and proved. Here ai-e the ten most-prevalent bait gyps, as shown by a survey of Better Business Bureaus in 44 cities: 1—Vacuum Cleaners, Sewing Machines: Chief trick is to offer an item at a low price, generally a reconditioned machine, and high-pressure you to buy a much costlier machine. 2—Reupholstery. The offer to reupholster an entire set of furniture at a low price often turns out to include only poorly-made fabrics in undesirable coloi's. 3—Furniture. This persistent bait racket is often prac­ ticed by credit stores, and not only through advertising but in window displays. Chief trick is to show a complete ensemble of furnitui'e for a reasonable price, but inside the store the furniture is scattered in different depart­ ments and it is difficult to know if you are getting the same items advertised in the windo.w. 4—Television Repairs. The trick is to advertise a flat rate for any service call. Often the flat price is $2.50. It is impossible for any serviceman to make calls at this jow price (average true cost of a call without any actual labor or parts costs is $3.50 to $4.50). 5^New, Used Cars. PneT Lbs Aflgelei Written for I'he Seafarers Lofr leafJnS®^ Margolius, leading expert on biying car on television for $990. When a shopper from the Bet­ ter Business Bureau got to his place, the dealer demanded $1,495, and finally agreed to let it go for $1,350, Another current bait practice in the auto business is to advertise "no down payment." But when you come in, you find a down payment is required, or, in some cases, you must .give the dealer a chattel mortgage on your household furniture. 6—Television Sets. Chief current trick is to offer a "famous name" set, but without specifying the name. But when you get to the store you may find that the set is really a little-known brand, or that its only relation to a famous name is that the chassis is licensed by RCA as many models are. 7—Jewelry, Watches. In the "diamond contest" spread-., ing throughout the country, you gue.ss how nfany there are. But everybody wins and you must pay a high price for the setting for the diamond you won. 8—Storm Windows. Storm windows are offered at a low price," like $10. But they are poorly made and the purpose is to get a salesman into your home. 9—Heating Equipment. This is often a low-priced offer to repair your fuVnace. But it masks an attempt to sell you a new furnace at a high price. 10—Real-Estate Lots. The bureaus tue also getting: many complaints about bait offers for lots which turn out badly located or ;inajMie$slbl« �SSAFARERS CHILORI (Or«>, A»rU 34—Chslr^ man, P. PantM> SMrAtanff L. Har|M«.

Drive Set On Lakes Ships MONTREAI^The Military Sea Transportation Service's competition with private ship­ ping companies and the Coast Guard's efforts to control merchant seameii both came in for strong erUiclsm from delegates to the SIU of NA's convention. Resolu­ tions approved by the delegates called for MSTS to get out of the shipping business and for the Coast Guard to halt its projected "pro-i. filing" system which would give it life or death power over a man's right to go to sea. MSTS has been under fire for some time because it has competed directly with commercial opera­ tions in carrying both freight and passengers. A recent study reveal­ ed 85 percent of MSTS cargo could be carried on commercial ships, while the Government agency car­ ried 200,000 civilian' passengefs in 1954, enough to keep about 15 pri­ vate passenger ships running. More Expensive All of this was done at far more expense to the Government than chartering of commercial ships would have cost because of the oversize manning scales on MSTS vessels. Both the SIU A&G District and the West Coast unions, the SUP, MFOW and MCS-AFL have spear­ headed opposition to the Coast Guard's "profiling" system, which would put every seaman on the grill. The Coast Guard proposed that all seamen pass a rigorous physical and mental check-up in­ volving checks into a man's famiV^ background, personal habits and other matters of private concerii to the seaman. The system would have allowed the Coast Guard to yank a man's papers if he could not meet arbitrary standards, no matter how many years or well he had handled his shipboard job, • • . 5J US Transfer Total Grows Entirely apart from the 1,113 American-flag ships sold and trans­ ferred foreign under the 1946 Ship Sales Act, a check at the Maritime Administration reveals that be­ tween January 1, 1946, and April 30, 1955, a total of 426 merchant ships of over 1,000 gross tons were sold or transferred foreign. This figure does not include any ships sold to American citizens under the 1946 Act and subsequently transr ferred foreign by permission of the Government. In addition, some 138 ships over 1,000 tons originally sold to US citizens under the 1946 Act, have subsequently been transferred for­ eign.

J MAU' �•: I jrwe i«. i9SS SEAFARERS Action On JRunawnys Work Speodod On Seafarers School A positive program for dealing'with the runaway flag prob­ lem is in the offing as thd result of the SIU of NA's conven­ tion action pledging support to the International TransportWorkers Federation's organizing in the field. SIU sea affili­ ates on both Coasts are planning to work closely with ITF, which has already made headway and has contracts with a number of such ships. Since the runaway flags set no standards at all for their ships, leaving the shipowner to get away with whatever he can in the way of manning, safety, feeding and wages, succe.ssful ITF action in the field would at least set some mini­ mum standards which all ships would have to meet. It would end ruthless exploitation of crewmembers, many of whom are affiliated with ITF-memlier unions in their home coun­ tries. ^ • The role of US unions in this area can be particularly im­ portant because so many of the runaways are Americanowned and operate out of US ports. It is obvious that the runaway -flag ships not only deprive US seamen of jobs by fleeing.US jurisdiction, but threaten the stability and employment of legitimate merchant fleets. An authoritative British study points out that in a time of declining cargo offerings, the runaway flag operations would have a disastrous effect on freight rates and liner services of all nations, something the SIU has believed all along. Certainly the ITF campaign merits the active dhd enthusi­ astic support of all sea unions as the only legitimate effort to organize the runaways. Hard at work on building for the new Seafarers Training School at Bayou LaBatre, Ala., just outside of Mobile, workmen rush the job to completion so that indoor classes can be organ­ ized. Outdoor facilities for training and upgrading of Seafarers are already completed. ' • / 4» 4- 4" Productive Coiiveutloii The 7th biennial convention of the SIU of North America, recently concluded in .Montreal, rates as one of the most pro­ ductive meetings ever held By the international union. Dele­ gates worked out a program which dealt forcefully with all the major problems facing seamen and their unions. The convention made it clear that SIU affiliates would not tolerate any effort to deprive seamen of the right to bar­ gain freely with the shipowner through their unions. It also reemphasized the SIU's firm position on the hiring hall issue, making that issue an essential feature of any future maritime merger. The merger problem itself was dealt with through a state­ ment of principles. Various problems of affiliates such as Great L^es organizing, Canadian flag operations, Inland boat jurisdiction and others were acted on. All in all it was a constructive gathering which should prove of lasting benefit to the seamen, fishermen and shoreside workers who are members of the international. 444- Standing Up It was good to see at least one Representative stand up on his feet in Congress and defend the "50-50" law against all comers. It was Congressman Jack Shelley of San Francisco who stepped into the breach with a ringing attack on the foreign lobbyists who want to scuttle "50-50" so that their ships can obtain a stranglehold on agricultural surplus car­ goes. Congressman Shelley thoroughly debunked the claim that these cargoes are "commercial" by pointing out that in most instances the proceeds of the sales will not come back to the US Government but will be used as a disguised form of economic aid to foreign nations. A lot of generalized talk can be heard in Washington about "our American merchant marine" these days but it's becom­ ing a rare thing to see someone defend a specific feature of great value to maritime in the face of hostile criticism. Our thanks go to Representative Shelley. 4 4 4 Atom Ship Plans While the Government is going ahead with plans for its elaborate "floating showcase" atom ship plan, private ship­ ping interests are equally active. Only in their case they are concerned with commerciably-useful operations instead of propaganda showcases. Three companies, among them Cities Service, have financed a study which concludes that it is feasible to build a nuclearpowered ship which would not endanger crew, passengers and cargo and which would not be obsolete for some time. It will be. in interesting to see if any private shipping com­ panies make plans for construction of a ship of, their, owp for >fc Faff* EicTCB LOG Balto Vf elf are Classes Popular BALTIMORE—Seafarers in this port' are now taking part in regular Educational Welfare meetings sponsored by the SIU to familiarize themselves fully with the precedent-setting new SIU welfare benefits. -f—— The sessions are being held They are drawing an enthusiastic surgical coverage for Seafarers' at the SIU hall here three attendance from among the Sea­ wives and unmanned children times weekly, on Mondays, farers on the beach.

"We will hold them every week for as mug as necessary to enable every man coming through here to fully un­ derstand all the benefits available to him, his wife and children," he noted. "These benefits are like money in every man's pocket. The best way to protect them is to make sure everyone knows just what he has coming in case of any emer­ gency," Sheppard added. Shipping Up Slightly Shipping and registration here took a very slight rise over the past two-week period, with all ships generally coming in clean. Efforts to wind up outstanding beefs with Ore and Calmar netted agreement from the companies that they would pay overtime at the longshore rate for crews handling hatches and beams while cargo is aboard a vessel. This has been a particular problem on the Bethcoaster up until now. Discussion also cleared up the problem of the 2nd cook on tije same ship working more th.^n regular hoairs.

Bulletms No News Anymore; M^ore La Furore Over Mess ^' The problem posed when an immovable object meets an irresistible force is amply demonstrated for budding scien­ tists by recent doings aboard the Marore (Ore), among others. A terse report in the ship's "*• notices dying on-the vine for lack minutes -of May 15 describes of posting place. Before anyone the following ingredients: one cana read them in the messhall bulletin board in the crew's iriess^ hall, one lock used to shut down the messhall right after meals, and one crew lounge where, everybody gathers, but which is bare of bulle­ tin b(«hrds and such paraphernalia. One of the ci-ewmembers at the meeting had proposed that they either take down the bulletin board from the messhall and[ put it in the lounge, or leave, the newsspace in the messhall and keep it open so that everyone aboard could check it for notices and similar items. This is the way the situation shapes up: If the bulletin board in the messhall is ripped out and put out somewhere else, this will leave the present room without any out­ let except for electricity/If the bulletin board stays put, that will change nothing. The denizens of the lounge will have to be satisfied with reminiscing about when they had a bulletin board—and "pin­ ups," maybe—on other ships. Meanwhile, there's lots of new Burty after meaJs, the joint is locked up. In like fashion, an even. more terse item from tlie Alcoa Pegasus meeting on May 21 once again illustrates the result of a collision between the proverbial "immov­ able object and irresistible force." Of special concern to the ship is this bit: "Dirty life preservers have been passed by the Coast Guard and nothing can be done about it." Ship's secretary L. L. Phillips furnished the report and that's that; Class is ended. A Songwriter vNow, Seafarer To Sail Again On the beach for a couple of years now, following the retirement of his SIU book due to an accident on the Alcoa Corsair*, former Seafarer D. C. Mullins expects ' he'll be, coming back to sea soon from his home in Creekville, Ky., to renew old ac­ quaintances once again. He'll return, however, as a song­ writer of some considerable ac­ complishment. This was the task he set for himself when he found he was drydocked and unable to do much in the way of manual la­ bor anymore. Mullins reports that he was for­ tunate enough to pen compositions with such writers as the authpr of the hit vocals "Pretend" and "The Tennessee Waltz," and one of them, he says, has been picked to be the big song of 1955 by a group of "top experts" in the recordmaking business. He notes that he can't rpveal the name of the tune just yet, but confides that it is a religious number and will be recorded very soon. He also has a song that he wrote with Webb Pierce, one of the na­ tion's top country singers, that has been recorded by Ted Rains on Decca, Joan Hager on Mercury and Buddy Thompson on RCA-Victor. Now on the market, it's called "Free of the Blues" and is said to be getting quite a whirl from disc jockeys and radio stations that feature country music. Stay Put For Idle Pay Seafarers who are collecting state Unemployment benefits while on the beach waiting to ship are urged to stay put and avoid changing their mailing addresses if they want to continue re­ ceiving their checks regularly. Several Seafarers have already experienced interruptions of from three to five weeks in getting their next check after they notified the state unemployment offices that they had mioved and changed their mailing address. An aveaage delay of a month is reported in most cases, causing considerable hardship to the men involved. i/ 'i '%• " of prose and song, the renowned "Saki Jack." "Miss Maritime 1955," from all reports, was far better looking than US maritime '55, but Dolan didn't let this rash thought upset his appreciation of the true-to-life lady who graced the festivities at hand. The "Miss Maritime" com­ petition started about three years ago in Seattle, and needless to say. is very popular with the boys on the beach as well as local resi­ dents. Food And Entertainment The gaja affair at the CMC pro­ vided food and entertainment aplenty for a large gathering of guests, including Seafarers' who turned out for the event in force. Among the showstoppers present were young Pat Callaway ("a good bet for the Met in the near future," according to our »correspondent); three young ladies called "The Mellow Tones"; Brother Pete Leon of the Sailors Union of the Pacific, off the SS Hawaiian Planter, who did some impersona­ tions, and "hula specialist" Linda Music for the evening was fur­ nished, by a group known as the "Mooridusters." •vl Dancing Top Other social notes emanating from the evening's festivities re­ veal the presence of the following SIU brothers on the dance floor: "Woody" Wilson, Blackie Lial, Cal­ vin J. Slover, Chico (Fred Astaire) L a w s i n, James Farrer and many others. For the record, "Miss Maritime 1955" is Darlene McConnoijj^ and Dolan she was joined by a trio of lovely princesses who had everyone wondering how the judges came up with their final selection. Wrapping up his account of the affair. Brother Dolan points out: "All in all the party was a huge success . . . Father MUrphy does an excellent job of making the men on the beach here feel at home."

Ole "Robin" Olsen • • a. ,4... inspection Ciit Seen roolish 1 k LOG Helps Him Keep In Touch x. :Tb the Editor: The importance- of safety aboard a ship cannot- be overstressed. In spita of man's In­ genuity in his continual strug­ gle against the elements, we oc­ casionally find that our best ef^ forts are inadequate. In the wake of so m^ny recent reports of sea disasters and ship sink­ ings-, I consider the proposal to extend the annual Inspection period to two years a little out of line. Last September while I was a crewmember on the Steel Ad­ vocate (Isthmian), we had an annual inspection. During this time we laid out the fire hoses in the usual manner so that they could be tested under pressure. The vessel passed inspection all right, but how those hoses passed I'll never know. The first fire drill we-had after that inspection, two hoses blew out where the bands had rusted through. The same thing hap­ pened aboard the Seamar (Calmar) shortly after it had passed its annual inspection. Report To LOG. Here and now I would like to suggest to the membership that we report via the LOG any evidence of. negligence where safety is concerned. When cer­ tain incidents occur, such as the one recently reported in the LOG about the davit and life­ SBAPA^kBMS boat on the Queenston Heights (Seatrade) carrying away^ it stands to reason that our pres­ ent system of inspections should be investigated. Last year as the Frances (Bull) was undergoing inspection in Philadelphia, I ftoticed an in­ spector who was doing a very thorough and conscientious job. When I commended him on his thoroughness, he told me that his brother had^ died on the Murmansk run in 1942 because of faulty life-saving equipment. As far as he was concerned, he said, he would make sure it didn't happen to anyone else. I admire and respect that man. If all the inspectors did their jobs as well as this man, there would be fewer accidents in the shipping industry. Fred L. Miller 4 4 4 Opposes Change Of Inspecfions 'To the Editor: Thanks to our SIU-leadership for their strong stand on this matter of Coast Guard inspec­ tions. If these desk jockeys down in Washington had to ride on some of these rust buckets they'd soon change {heir minds about them not needing to be inspected every year. The present system needs changing all right; they need to start giving the ships a real, seam-rattling inspection instead of a quick once-over. That's what they need to start doing. We need better inspections in­ stead of fewer ones. No Guarantees You can see what's going to happen under this "sudden spot check" deal. They'll be held only in certain ports, so many ships will never have one. And when they do pull one and find something wrong, why the com­ pany will say, yeah we'll fix it but don't hold us up on this trip, we're due at. so-and-so, and off they'll go and then there'll be endless appeals and counterbriefs and all that stuff that the Taft-Hartley crowd now in office are famous for. Meanwhile the ship splits dov;n the middle, and just a few months short of its two-year inspection, too; what a shame. R. J. "Red" Ridges 4 4 4 Sharing Jobs On Ship Works Fine To the Editor: '^e' aboard fhe Chilore (Ore) miiik that it is a good idea that each of the ship's committee jobs be taken by different indi­ viduals, because in that way everyone will learn what has to be done and at the same time the responsibilities will be shared. We have tried to split up the jobs on this ship, and so far it is working out. fine. The new ships' minutes forms are okay, and they get a lot more action at meetings. Of course, they were a little hard to understand at first, but It looks like everyone aboard un­ derstands them now. At our last meeting, the membership adopted a unani­ mous vote of thanks to all offi­ cials connected with the op­ eration of the SIU Welfare Plan for the fine job they are doing on behalf of SIU men. The new, family coverage un­ der the • Welfare Plan was something we were all hoping for and were very concerned about. It is a big step forward for all of us. J. Hilda, Jr. }• ' .

No Controls Needed, SIU Tells Gov't (Continued from page 3) time workers is unquestionably discriminatory. "On the issue of the proposed Maritime Labor Stabilization Board, we arc opposed to any such unjustified restriction on the free collective bargaining.process. More­ over, there are a sufficient number of agencies designed to govern and, where necessary, assist in col­ lective bargaining; to wit, the Na­ tional Labor Relations Board and the Federal Mediation and Concili­ ation Service. In effect then, we feel very strongly that the pro­ posed act would set up a bureauc­ racy for which there is no need, and, oddly enough, at a time when the philosophy in government is supposedly to eliminate such bureaucraci^ or nonessential, dupli­ cating and overlapping agencies. "I think you would be interested to know that the labor relations of this organization with its con­ tracted companies is very good, if not excellent. The record will bear out this point. "Finally, I do not believe that the ills of the American Merchant Marine can be cured by the propo­ sals in question. Attacks are being made to further weaken the Amer­ ican Merchant Marine in other quarters, including government, and apparently with considerable effectiveness. I refer specifically to the policy on transfers to runa­ way foreign flag registries, the fight on the 50-50 provision and the general lack of a positive pro­ gram for building the American fleet.

Wi mm The 3,300-name list in this supplement, arronged alphabetically, is a complete roster of those SlU men who have filed an incomplete or faulty beneficiary card with the SlU Welfare Plan. Omissions or errors in one or more of the ten items on the card can possibly cause days or weeks of delay in collecting the $3,500 death benefit at a time when the man's family, wife, child or other beneficiary will probably need it most. Accordingly, every Seafarer is urged to check the list carefully to see whether his name appears. If it does not, he con rest assured that if he has filed a card his welfare records ore in order, and that his beneficiary will have no foreseeable difficulty collecting the benefit when a claim is made. Those whose names do appear on thd list, however, must file new cards giving complete in­ formation in order to guarantee smooth payment of the $3,500 benefit. The beneficiary card, a sample of which appears below, requires only the following information: Seafarer's name, address. Social Security number. Union book or permit number and signature; the name, and address and relationship to him of the person he wishes o^ his beneficiary (anyone may qual­ ify), plus the signature of a witness and the date. ^1 Hi WiM Wi| Special effort should be mode to fill in the correct Social Security number and Union book or permit number, and to sign and dote the card properly.
