company, North American Van Lines, a
25 percent cut in tax rates, from 4.0 per-
. cent to 15 percent. Other companies . get
free railroad sidings, free -p'Ower and

rented very cheaply on lorig-tern:l lease

payment, and free land, ordinarily-cost
ing around $4,000 an acre.

got over half-a~million in loans . at spe
cial low interest rates, and reduced
property taxes._ It is negotiating for an
other Government loan on which it will
pay as little as one percent.
• Another Belgian ruling gives spe
cial personal income tax cuts to Ameri•
can executives. Under this arrangement,
half of their salaries- will be tax free.
Further in the tax arena, tfie Belgians
allow American corporations to deduct
one year's taxes from _next year's pay
ments. Companies taking advantage of
tax and loan deals include Standard Oil
of Indiana. '
• In France, Americans' are offered
long-term loans, up to 20 years, at low
interest. The longest-term loans in
France are normally seven to eigi1t
years. American companies get real es
tate tax exemptions, land sites at cut
prices and special rebates and other ben
efits if they export their product to the
United States.
• The Netherlands gives up to 50 per
cent off on land, normally worth up to
$13,000 an acre, fast tax write-offs which
reduce taxes tr.emendously, cheap loans
and construction subsidies on factories.
As a result, the Institute for Dutch
American Industrial Cooperation, a gov
. ernment-sponsored agency, claims 'it has
gotten 105 American companies to settle
there and is contacting 160 others .

'Mariy ·Chiefs, Few Braves . on Bosun · - Plagued Santa Venetia
( Thb article waa aubmitted
to the LOG by Seafarer Jame•
,Purcell.)
' There is a ·famous song about
a s~alled "Slow '.Boat .to Chi·
ba." Well the guy who wrote
that song must have sailed on
this rust bucket because that's
just what she is . • . rust, rust
and more rust. The boys have
· been swinging sledge hamJllers
for 3Q days and have not made
a dent in the rust, but they sur~
have accomplished one thing_ ..• ·
They have broken ... every light
bulb and ~fixture · on · the . ship
. . that ·1s within .thirty feet ·of.
Where they are . working. We
started ft'om ·New York· and it
took us 12 days to get to Galves·
ton and anothe~ 30 days to get
pere at Haifa· and never a dull
moment, for ,we have three
bosuns on this ship and the gang
never knows now whether
they're coming or going.
The mate gives one order, the
bosun another, and finally the
skipper, who ls affectionately
known as · "Country Store"
Brown, because _of his outside
· interests lo Connecticut, gives
a third. He owns ·a liquor store,
an antique store, a ·slop. chest
aiid currently is trying to ped
dle radios, which he is ·promot
ing- here iD ·Jsrael. · .
Bt!t with all the . confusion,
there is . a brighter sid'e to
things. We have one of the
finest steward departments ever
assembled in the. SIU, bar non~.
SIU ~sHIPsj: .AT SEA
... '
: .,
1 ALCOA PIONEER -would . become soggy. . Anoth~r
They are: Ralph H. ·Maldonato,
chief steward; Enoch ''Buster"
Collim, chief cook; Chadei N.
Stephens, night cook and baker;
and Ruppert E. Jackson, third
cook . .
Our Christmas menu was
really great and the smiles
on our faces after the
C h r i s t m a s dinner showed
that these boys know how to
keep a crew happy. Everyone
on this ship is gaining weight
and waistlines are expanding...
The food committee would . do
well to gather some of our stew
ard's menus as reference for
otner ships that have food com
plamts;- It is not · unusual to
have three entrees on our daily
menus and not a damn thing
wasted, as he personally super
vises the cooking and serving of
each item. ·
We are glad she's a "feeder,"
because otherwise it would sure
be a miserable ship with every
one wanting to be a "bosun,"
and work being duplicated at
every turn. ''Briqg this for
ward" We are told one hour, and
''bring it back aft" the next ...
reminds of the WP A during the
depression. .
For some reason we have
been having "salt-water coffee."
It appears that every other day
someone messes up the evapora
tor primer and bingo a tank of
water is salted up. We' sure
hope for better luck on the way

. Pilgrim's Pride
The washing machine breaks
down on schedule: it has no belt
on the motor ... just a piece of
heavin~ line. An AB has to
splice a piece of line twice a
week so we can wash our
clothes.
The skipper has disputed a
lot of overtime in the deck de
partment a·nd I think the patrol
man who pays off this ship will
have his work cut out for him,
to say the least.
We have a fine bunch in the
black gang. from tpe chief rjghi
down to the wipC"rs. It seems
the only beefs are on th'e deck.
Leo Paradis~ is ship's rlelegate
and doing a fine job. Tl/Janks to
him beefs are IJ,eing handled
splendidly.

Underwater
Island Found
Scientists have discovered an
other' ·undersea island-this time
perhaps the largest similar find
to date.-'Located in the South At
lantic Ocean some 550 miles west
of ihe . Cape· of (;ood ·Hope, it rises
15,980 feet .. frorn the ocean's bot
_t~. it was a~ounc;ed .by a team
of Columb!a University geologists.
The . island ts 35 miles wide at
its ' base and five miles wide at its
top. Its' hjghest point is about 20
fathoms .. befow ~e surface of the
ocean, it was reported'. . , ,
Ge<>logists . theorize· that 'the
fsland· was.'· above tr1e surface . dur
ing the last glacial period-some
8,000 to 10,000 years ago, but that
melting glaciai ice has since raised
the level of.the ocean, submerging
. th~ formatic>n. , .

limited to its usefulness orily up
to the line of sigbt from the trans
mitting antenna, that is, the hori
zon line.
In the future, when the new
radar is fully established, the
range of its usefulness will be '
increased greatly and ships will,
no matter what the weather con
ditions, be able to get an exact
fix from a shoreside radar station
no matter where•the ship might be
at sea.
Project Madre is· the brainchild
of the Director of Research at the
Naval Research Laboratory, Dr .

for new operators on the Lakes.
That would leave· a maximum of

and' Prudentil!l-to say nothing of
existing subsidi~ed companies who
are seeking more trade route cov-

budget provid~s for. Waterman,
for example, has applied for 144
voyages and States Marine for 168.
In effect then, if these companies
meet all the requirements for a
subs'.dy, the Maritime Administra
tion will be ·unable to sign subsidy
. cont racts with them for lack of
fun!,ls. ·
. This would leave the American
merchant marine in its existing
status of having a small group of
· ' · co,mp.anies receiving all the bene
fits of a subsid;;r and the rest of the
nation's merchant fleet on the out-
s:de looking in.. .
Underscoring the determination
of the Administration to block -any
expansion of the subsidy program,
Mari.time has ~equested almost ex-
actly the same amounts as were
voted last year for this purpose.
The consrruction .subsidies would
be limited to 14 new ships, the
same as in the current year, and
$129 .million. Operating subsidies

. ~ife Ort ''A ··very. Slow Boat Jo Haifa
'Mariy ·Chiefs, Few Braves . on Bosun · - Plagued Santa Venetia
( Thb article waa aubmitted
to the LOG by Seafarer Jame•
,Purcell.)
' There is a ·famous song about
a s~alled "Slow '.Boat .to Chi·
ba." Well the guy who wrote
that song must have sailed on
this rust bucket because that's
just what she is . • . rust, rust
and more rust. The boys have
· been swinging sledge hamJllers
for 3Q days and have not made
a dent in the rust, but they sur~
have accomplished one thing_ ..• ·
They have broken ... every light
bulb and ~fixture · on · the . ship
. . that ·1s within .thirty feet ·of.
Where they are . working. We
started ft'om ·New York· and it
took us 12 days to get to Galves·
ton and anothe~ 30 days to get
pere at Haifa· and never a dull
moment, for ,we have three
bosuns on this ship and the gang
never knows now whether
they're coming or going.
The mate gives one order, the
bosun another, and finally the
skipper, who ls affectionately
known as · "Country Store"
Brown, because _of his outside
· interests lo Connecticut, gives
a third. He owns ·a liquor store,
an antique store, a ·slop. chest
aiid currently is trying to ped
dle radios, which he is ·promot
ing- here iD ·Jsrael. · .
Bt!t with all the . confusion,
there is . a brighter sid'e to
things. We have one of the
finest steward departments ever
assembled in the. SIU, bar non~.
SIU ~sHIPsj: .AT SEA
... '
: .,
1 ALCOA PIONEER -would . become soggy. . Anoth~r
They are: Ralph H. ·Maldonato,
chief steward; Enoch ''Buster"
Collim, chief cook; Chadei N.
Stephens, night cook and baker;
and Ruppert E. Jackson, third
cook . .
Our Christmas menu was
really great and the smiles
on our faces after the
C h r i s t m a s dinner showed
that these boys know how to
keep a crew happy. Everyone
on this ship is gaining weight
and waistlines are expanding...
The food committee would . do
well to gather some of our stew
ard's menus as reference for
otner ships that have food com
plamts;- It is not · unusual to
have three entrees on our daily
menus and not a damn thing
wasted, as he personally super
vises the cooking and serving of
each item. ·
We are glad she's a "feeder,"
because otherwise it would sure
be a miserable ship with every
one wanting to be a "bosun,"
and work being duplicated at
every turn. ''Briqg this for
ward" We are told one hour, and
''bring it back aft" the next ...
reminds of the WP A during the
depression. .
For some reason we have
been having "salt-water coffee."
It appears that every other day
someone messes up the evapora
tor primer and bingo a tank of
water is salted up. We' sure
hope for better luck on the way

. Pilgrim's Pride
The washing machine breaks
down on schedule: it has no belt
on the motor ... just a piece of
heavin~ line. An AB has to
splice a piece of line twice a
week so we can wash our
clothes.
The skipper has disputed a
lot of overtime in the deck de
partment a·nd I think the patrol
man who pays off this ship will
have his work cut out for him,
to say the least.
We have a fine bunch in the
black gang. from tpe chief rjghi
down to the wipC"rs. It seems
the only beefs are on th'e deck.
Leo Paradis~ is ship's rlelegate
and doing a fine job. Tl/Janks to

Underwater
Island Found
Scientists have discovered an
other' ·undersea island-this time
perhaps the largest similar find
to date.-'Located in the South At
lantic Ocean some 550 miles west
of ihe . Cape· of (;ood ·Hope, it rises
15,980 feet .. frorn the ocean's bot
_t~. it was a~ounc;ed .by a team
of Columb!a University geologists.
The . island ts 35 miles wide at
its ' base and five miles wide at its
top. Its' hjghest point is about 20
fathoms .. befow ~e surface of the
ocean, it was reported'. . , ,
Ge<>logists . theorize· that 'the
fsland· was.'· above tr1e surface . dur
ing the last glacial period-some
8,000 to 10,000 years ago, but that
melting glaciai ice has since raised
the level of.the ocean, submerging
. th~ formatic>n. , .

limited to its usefulness orily up
to the line of sigbt from the trans
mitting antenna, that is, the hori
zon line.
In the future, when the new
radar is fully established, the
range of its usefulness will be '
increased greatly and ships will,
no matter what the weather con
ditions, be able to get an exact
fix from a shoreside radar station
no matter where•the ship might be
at sea.
Project Madre is· the brainchild
of the Director of Research at the

w ASHINGTON-Hopes of unsubsidized ste~mship companies for any substantial Gov ..
ernment ·as~istan.ce this year have been dashed by President Eisenhower's budget proposals:
The budget would -set a limit 0£ 2,190 voyages under operating subsidY., barring_ :virtually
every applicant on the deep., . . .. ' . .
would be $150 million. That~s ac- years. At present, the operators

At present there. are 1,975 plus a $22 million supplemental ap- at 2!) year int~rvals~

voyages on the Lakes alone and at sidized vessels' life extended to 25 crease in the costs of shipbuilding.
least 25 more have been rese~vesI
for new operators on the Lakes.
That would leave· a maximum of
140 voyages ayailable for five sub
sidy applicants-Isbrandtsen, Wa-
. ·terman, .JS'thrnian, States · Marine
and' Prudentil!l-to say nothing of
existing subsidi~ed companies who
are seeking more trade route cov-
erage .
. . Actually, if all 'the applicants
were accnmmodated on ·all the voy
ages they asked for, it would -re
quire a total ·of "' abou.t 2,700 voy
ages, a:most a third more than the
budget provid~s for. Waterman,
for example, has applied for 144
voyages and States Marine for 168.
In effect then, if these companies
meet all the requirements for a
subs'.dy, the Maritime Administra
tion will be ·unable to sign subsidy
. cont racts with them for lack of
fun!,ls. ·
. This would leave the American
merchant marine in its existing
status of having a small group of
· ' · co,mp.anies receiving all the bene
fits of a subsid;;r and the rest of the
nation's merchant fleet on the out-
s:de looking in.. .
Underscoring the determination
of the Administration to block -any
expansion of the subsidy program,
Mari.time has ~equested almost ex-
actly the same amounts as were
voted last year for this purpose.
The consrruction .subsidies would
be limited to 14 new ships, the
same as in the current year, and
$129 .million. Operating subsidies
