2-S·Year 'Life' For Ships
HONOR .ROLL
DiversiJies;
BUys P'~9es.
.WASHINGTON-Faced with a· tightening of Uncle Sam's
purse strings, the ship operators and ·the Maritime Administrator have suddenly ·decided that their ships can last 25
vears after alt The 25-year
r~useful ·life" of. a ship is an in- panies to sign construction subsidy
crease of five years over the con~racts with the Government and
P,resent formula.
· What it means for ·practical pur. poses · is that operators· who get
construction subsidies will replace
their ships · at · 25-yellr lnfer.vals,
Jnstead of .20 years. This Will have
o& number of effects on shipping, on
US seamen· a~d the · amount of
money spent by the US Government for ship replacement subsidies.
In general, the" 25-year period
means that the us merchant fleet
will, in the long· run, be older and
less efficient than those of' competing nations, whose shipowners will
be building · new vessels more
often. But for the immediate
future, .the change in the "useful
life" formula will enable com-

Greek Flags
For 3 Ships
WASHINGTON-Another ·three
Liberi:m ships-two tankers and
one dry cargo vessel-have been
given the green light by Maritime
Administration to shift' their flags
to Greek registry.
The transaction-another typical
example of flight from the organlzational efforts of the International Maritime Workers Unioninvolved the Andros Champion,
Andros City ·and Andros Fairplay.
The respective purchasers were:
Overseas Carriers Corp., Export
Carriers Corp. and Fleet Shipping
Corp. All were formerly owned by
a firm known as San Rafael Comp~nia Naviera, SA.
.' 'fhe IMWU has sought. to gain
recognition as representative of
crews aboard various runaway:flag
vessels. It n·ow has two petitions
pending bet ore the National Labor
Relations Board in similar cases.
-
to get the money needed for new
ships.
Oppoeed In P.ast
The Administration had proposed a 25-year period in the past,
but ship operators had aiways bpposed it. However, the cost of
new shi_ps . built today is almost
f!ve times · what it cost for th'e
operators' present World War II
and postwar ·fleets, so tl~at the
extra five yeal's will give .them
enough time to put additional
funds in the new-ship kitty.
With both the Government and
the industry agreed on the 25-year
formula, the only · question outstanding is what cutoff date to
apply. The shipping industry
wants the cutoff date to go back
to January 1, 1946, so as to cover
all ships built after World War II.
.The Government's present proposal would set January 1, 1950 as
the cutoff date. This would mean•
that nil ~f . the C·cype ships would
still be under the 20-year formula ,
but ·the Mariner-class ships wouJd
be figured as 1 having a 25-year life.
The Mariners didn't start coming
(.lUt of the y~rds until 1952-53.
.Newer SblP&. Have Advantal'e
Nprtnally, there . would be no
reason why a ship could not continue to ~perate even beyo·n d 25years, as far as its machinery
functioning is concerned. In fact,
there -are many pre-war ships still
operating under . foreign flags.
However, the rate of technological
change is so · great that the older
ships cannot compete with larger,
faster, more modern vessels which
also have far more efficient loading facilities.
.
One effect then, of .any 25-year
formula, could be to make it more
difficult for an · American-flag ship
operator to compete. The extra
fi\.·e years could push him deeper
in the hole, rather than give him
au opportunity to put more cash
1tside for new ships.

WASHINGTON-As· the House Ways and Means Cqmmittee nears a vote on the labor-backed Forand medical insurance bill fo~ elderly people, the Eisenhower administration
has announced it is "studying"
a substitute plan to be ad- ])acking of the former head of Blue

would pay only a portion of health
insurance policies for the elderly
and coverage would be practically
limited to chronic illnesses which
result in lengthy stays in hospitals.
In any case, there will be no action on en Administrati'on measure

The Forand measure, opposed
by the administration,. would be
financed through increased Social
Securjty payroll deductions. It
would provide more liberal coverage --.:.. and at less cost to the insured.

Another member of the medical

Dr. E. M. Bluestone, professor of
hospital administration at two
New York universities. He argued
that the "sheer humanity" of the
bill "far outweighs" the "ill-ad•

of the American Medical Association and the insurance industry,
ch.1rging they were "motivated

endorsed the bill in a letter to its -·
Sponsor, Rep. Aime Forand (D.,
RIJ. MacLean· wrote that "the
cost of care of the aged cannot be
met, unaided, by the mechanism
of insurance or prepayment." He
noted that the system of financing
the -insurance through Social Security deductions "pr ovides a way
of dealing with the queslion witil

NEW ORLEANS - Though only
five payoffs were recorded here
during · the preceeding shipping
period, this port got a shot in the
arm when a total of 32 vessels
called for service while in an intransit status. And with at least 11
ships scheduled to pay off during
the coming two weeks, a forecast
of "good" is the way :acting agent
agent Buck Stephens pegs shipping
conditions.
Members were reminded that
voting on the new SIU constitution
starts March '31; they were urged
to vote, and vote in the affirmative.
Stephens also stated that affairs
in the -port were running smoothly,
and. that of all beefs handled during the previous period-, none were
of a major nature.
The ships paying off were: Alcoa
Puritan <Alcoa); Del Norte <Miss.);
Wacosta, Topa Topa (Waterman)
and Penn Mariner <Penntrans.>.
Signing on crews were eight
vessels: Alcoa Puritan <Alcoa>; Del
Aires, DelValle, Del Norte (Miss.>;
Chickasaw <Waterman); Penn Mariner <Penntrans.); Atlantis <Petrol)
and John C. <Atlantic Carr.).
In transit: Alcoa Roamer, Alcoa
Corsair, Alcoa Ranger and Alcoa
Cavalier <Alcoa); Seatrain Georgia,
Seatrain Louisiana (Seatrains); Del
Aires, Del Valle (twice) (Miss.>;
Neva West <twice) · <Bloomfield);
Steel mr~~tw, Steel Sci~nti§t
<Isthmian); Gateway City, Raphael
Semmes <Pan Atlantic) Chickasaw,
Wild Ranger <twice), Monarch of
the Seas, Wacosta, Topa Topa,
Claiborne, John B. Waterman
<Waterman). Mankato Victory <Victory Carr.>;. Evelyn, Edith <Bum;
Atlantis <Petrol); Cantigny, Royal
Oak <Cities Service); · John C.
(Atlantic Carr.), and Transeastern
(Transeastern).
The AFL-CIO Executive Councn at its recent mid-Winter session warned against any ·eleventh
hour intervention by the administration against the Forand legislation which were "designed to meet
the narrowly-conceived financial
demands of the AMA or the selfseeking clamor of insurance companies rather than the needs of the
elderly."
The ad19infoti;ation's Federalstate sharing plan was one of three
possible - Federal approaches to
health insurance for the aged now
under study by the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare.
Another is similar to the Forand
scheme, while a third is based on
Federal public assistance to help.
pay oldster.s' health insurance premiums.
MD Report
AsksCaution
On Penicillin
A further report on the danger
of penicillin to individuals who
are allergic to it has been submitted by the Medical Department of
the Seafarers Welfare Plan. The
r~port, quot.~d from a medical
bulletin, cited . l,000 recorded
deaths due to penicillin injections
by 1956, some dozen years after
-the antibiotic was first used.
Dr. Joseph Logue, ~edical <lirector of the SIU Welfare Plan had
prevfously warned SIU men
against indiscriminate use of penicillin. ·
Penicillin is carried on all SIU
ships under .the terms of the
Union contract. At the time this
provision · was inserted in the
agreement, the _ drug was looked
upon as the nearest thing to a
"cure-all," and undoubtedly it has
been administered by JQates to
crewmembers hr.ving .a wiqe variety of ailments.
In. recent yea1·s though, there
has been increasing evi~ence that
a few individuals suffer violent
reactions from penicillin·
As a result of these · develop->·
ments, some drug cop cerns have
started manufacturing a synthetic
penicillin, which, it is claimed,
does not produce the severe reactions of the "natural" penicillin.
In light of. the above, the use of
penicillin on a ship should not be
indiscriminate~

The Lampblack Flew
(The following article was
.ubmitted to the LOG by Sea·
farer Douglas Claussen.)
' We have just paid off from a
Mediterranean run on the John
..,. "C" (Atlantic Carriers, Inc.>.
We had 2,000 tons of lampblack
for Italy and Marseilles, France.
When they finished unloading
and they cleaned the holds in
Barcelona, Spain, the lampblack was four and five feet
deep on the deck from the bow
to the stern ' on the starboard
side, and heaped in variqus
piles on the port side. None of
this was .wrapped in paper or
anything ... it w~s just lying
loose on the deck.
Well, to make a long story
short, we sailed with it loose
on the· deck like that. When we
got outside the harbor, the wind
blew and the' lampblack flew.
The entire deck gang titrned
to with brooms· and shovels.
I am not exaggerating when
I
I say It t1>ok us four days to
wash It off the ship; and also,
ourselves. It was in the messhalls, passageways, showers . . •
everything we touched had
lampblack.
.
We had to throw our clothes
away and were not paid penalty
cargo time for this, although
we all thought we had a month
aml a half coming. We were not
·even paid overtime for throwing
it overside, though this took·
one and a half days •.. and we
were not compensated for our
clothes, either.
Now I sal that lampblack
should be a penalty cargo because there is no cargo as bad
as that, including sulphur, coal,
etc. Also I would like to · see
som~thing else put out with the
new agreement. Th~t is, a
clarification should be included
with each agreement when they
are distributed to the crews of
the vessels.

Lifeboat Class Number 25
NEWS H'EADLINEI IN UVll!W
,
WASHINGTON~Evidently alarmed by demands of US
maritime unions and independent tanker operators for a 50
percent rule on US oil imports, Standard Oil of New Jersey
and other big international oil
concerns have filed strenuous tue some weeks ago, which · also
the oil import quota proobjections with the Office of opposed
gram. · Theoretically, AMMI exists ·
Civil and . Defense Mol1ilization. ·
A memorandum submitted by
Esso, which is probably the largest
single operator of runaway - flag
tonnage in the world, objected to
the proposal ·on the ground that it
would add $100 million costs to
the nation's fuel bill. Actually, in
the view of US maritime unions
the additional costs would consist
of two items: A) Additional revenue to the United States Government from Esso and other oil companies who now operate out of
tax-free runaway havens, B) American wage payments to crewmembers of oil company tankers now
operating under the runaway flag
at $50-$100 monthly wage scales.
OCDM had previously received
a memorandum from the Joint
Committee
for
American-Flag
"I:ankers outlining the reasons why
at least half of US-purchased and
US-consumed oil imports should
come in on American-flag ships.
The OCDM · has promised it will
call a hearing shortly ,to air the
dispute. ,
The Esso position was no surprise to the unions' or the industry.
In fact, it had been tipped by the
Atneticart Merchant Marine lnsti-
to promote American-flag shipping,
but it happens that F;sso and other
major runaway operat~rs are members of the institute and have a
large voice in policy~making. ·
The AMMI has conceded that inactive US tankers now total 744,000 , deadweight tons, but despite
the inactive tanker fleet it is opposed to the 50 percent proposal
because the quota is an "unnecessary step," whatever that ,means.
Esso, whicf! owns 36 Ame:-icanflag tankers, has another BB tanke11s operating under foreign-flags.
Fearing that it will have to pay
a US tax and wa~e bill under the
requirement. ~ Esso contends . that
the 50 percent ruling would
establish "an unfortunate precede~t · for further .disc~!minatory
action b~ other nations.
The oil company also charged
that the legislation,. if imposed,
would bring about a mass tr:lnsfer
of th~ US-controlled PanHonLib
tonnage to European and other
foreign registries to avoid the'
American-flag tanker· rates for half
o( their imports. Actually the
transfer would have to · be back
to the US flag to qualify for
cargoes.
