BALANCE OF PAYMENTS DEFICITS.-Representatives of Jl!aritlme
labor and management ' met with Commerce Department officials on
Noveml>er 3, 1960, to discuss steps · that ·could be taken to ! educe the
balance of payments de~t. Tqe _government noted that in 1958 there
was a deficit of $3.5 billion in balance of payments, $3.8 billion deficit
in 1959, and an .estimated $2.5 bi~n deficit in 1960. The Government '
_ spokesmen discussed what -cour~es ' of action could
~ ~:.1 r be taken to redtice the balance' in payments deficits.
- · They discussed a reduction in foreign ,military aid;
~001 "3l a reduction iri foreign. ~conomic aid;:-Jl, restrictioa on -= impor ts; ask the West~rn European -nations to · ·as-
£ PMMrifU sume greater'responsibility in foreign economic "aid,
- _. .. 111 • - ' -;:.. and an . expansion' of ' our exports. _They said that
"~ they are trying to encourage a larger export volume
$2 ~ and to educate American shippers in ~he advantages
of usihg American-flag transportation. In line with
these suggestions 32 meetings have been held throughou't the country
in an attempt to educate shippers on t.Pe need for greater exports and j
tpe necessity fpr shipping on American ships.
Vice-Admiral :Ralph Wilson, Maritime Administrator, p~i~ted out
that only 9.7 percent of our foreign trade is presently befog carried
on American-flag ships. Spokesmen fo~ the AMMI said that steps could
be taken in · Washington to_reduce the balance of payments deficit. It
was suggested that a clarification of the cargo preference acts be made
and. that the Department of Agriculture 'be required to live up to the
requirements that the division of cargoes should be made on a cargo
by-cargo basis, rather than on an over-all total. Maritime industry
spokesmen . also suggested \hat the United States Goyemmeni should
require . that a reasonable percentage of ore and oil be .carried on
American-Dag' ships.
Maritime labor representatives suggested that .representatives of the
maritime industry should be called in for foreign policy briefings by
the State Department. They said that it is the duty of FMB to . set
reasonable freight rates for Government-aid cargoes. It was ·pointed
ou_t that the Dep_artment of Agriculture ignores thes~ s7t rates; an..d·
because FMB does not enforce them, the aid-program ·subsidizes
foreign-flag o.perations. It wa·s also suggested by labor spokesmen that
Government-aid cargo!?s should not be shipped on American-flag lines
that have foreign-flag operations. The Government representatives
made a brief closing statement saying that - they would carefully
consider the statements made by the maritime industry spokesmen,
that the attempts to close the gap m the balance of payments is a
long-term program, and that the Government would carefully consider
what steps should be taken .

Balanced Diet Is Health Tool·
Just eight years ago; back in 1952, "fr-0zen food" got its first men
tion in an SIU contract. Still intact as part. of the Union agreement,
the clause states: "Frozen foods. shall be considered 'the equivalent
of and serve the s~me.,,....putpose as fresh foods.'~ During the same '52
negotiations, · the contract -clause r~atd.jng fresh milk was also
amended to provide thatv.milk would be served three .t~e~ instead
of only t,wice ,dajiy while in port. .
Another-p'art of the same ··contract provision; long taken for granted '
is this: "An adequate supJJly of,fruit juices shill l>"e provided for tlie
unlicensed personnel. Fresh milk, fruit •. and vegetables will be fµr
nished- at every port touched where available and, if supply is possible,
a sqfficient amount to last until the next port '. or to lasl-until the
food would 'ordinarily, with good care, spoil .• .'' · · - .

MSTS For Hiring · .~
Of For-eig1fCrews-
SAN FRANCISCO' - The
Military Sea Transpori.a tion
Service may ·be the target of a
Congressional investigation be-
cause of its practice· of hiring for
eign crews. The San Francisco Bay
Area Maritime .Trades· Port Co'un-.
cil has' cailed ·for such an investi-
· ga tion becaus·e at least 17 ·US-.ftat
ships are manned by Japanese na--. -
tionals. _ 1
The ships involved are all LSTs, l
owned and operated by the US
SIU· P_acific
Qisfricf ··Halls ,
- Government and flying the . Ameri
can flag. They have been runninl
in the F'ar East since 1952 under
a contract with a Japapese / ship..
ping corporation, caUed the Amer
ican Ship Operating Company .
These , ships carry military car
.go exclus~vely to bases in Korea,
Okinawa, Formosa, the Philippine• · . '
and Vietnam. It is estimated that
the total manning involves some
750 jobs. ~
Issue Raised By l\IM&P
The issue was rais~d at the port_
.council meeting by the Masters,
Mates- and Pilots, ·following which
t'he council went on record iliian::
imously to make an issue of this
practice. The unions' position :\a · ..
that these ships should be ope.rated "
by a recognized American shipping
company using American seamen.
· It was pointed out that MSTS'
practice is in violation · ·of two
American mar,.itime laws. One is
the Merchant Marine Act of 1938
calling for Government promotion
of, and assistance for, an Ameri
can-flag • fleet manned by US citi
zens. The second, and more direct
violation, involves the . "50.;50" act; j
which specifically requires that at,. :
least half of· Government-owned 4 '
..cargoes be moved on America~-fl~~
vessels.
Among MSTS excuses fo:r: · this
operation are that it was consid
ered important to bolster the Japa
nese economy. The West Coast
maritime unions hold · tha~ since ,
the Japanes~ economy is booming';
· there is ~o longer any justificati~n, ~
if there ever was one, for manmn1 .. us ships with foreign nationals. . .
... The unions also raised the gues- ., '
J ion of secu'rity clearal).ces ·inr for- ·
eign nationals aboard_ ship_s. whi~. ·
'C!arry classified cargoes. Ameti~an·
seamen, they , point outr hav.e to

BALANCE OF PAYMENTS DEFICITS.-Representatives of Jl!aritlme
labor and management ' met with Commerce Department officials on
Noveml>er 3, 1960, to discuss steps · that ·could be taken to ! educe the
balance of payments de~t. Tqe _government noted that in 1958 there
was a deficit of $3.5 billion in balance of payments, $3.8 billion deficit
in 1959, and an .estimated $2.5 bi~n deficit in 1960. The Government '
_ spokesmen discussed what -cour~es ' of action could
~ ~:.1 r be taken to redtice the balance' in payments deficits.
- · They discussed a reduction in foreign ,military aid;
~001 "3l a reduction iri foreign. ~conomic aid;:-Jl, restrictioa on -= impor ts; ask the West~rn European -nations to · ·as-
£ PMMrifU sume greater'responsibility in foreign economic "aid,
- _. .. 111 • - ' -;:.. and an . expansion' of ' our exports. _They said that
"~ they are trying to encourage a larger export volume
$2 ~ and to educate American shippers in ~he advantages
of usihg American-flag transportation. In line with
these suggestions 32 meetings have been held throughou't the country
in an attempt to educate shippers on t.Pe need for greater exports and j
tpe necessity fpr shipping on American ships.
Vice-Admiral :Ralph Wilson, Maritime Administrator, p~i~ted out
that only 9.7 percent of our foreign trade is presently befog carried
on American-flag ships. Spokesmen fo~ the AMMI said that steps could
be taken in · Washington to_reduce the balance of payments deficit. It
was suggested that a clarification of the cargo preference acts be made
and. that the Department of Agriculture 'be required to live up to the
requirements that the division of cargoes should be made on a cargo
by-cargo basis, rather than on an over-all total. Maritime industry
spokesmen . also suggested \hat the United States Goyemmeni should
require . that a reasonable percentage of ore and oil be .carried on
American-Dag' ships.
Maritime labor representatives suggested that .representatives of the
maritime industry should be called in for foreign policy briefings by
the State Department. They said that it is the duty of FMB to . set
reasonable freight rates for Government-aid cargoes. It was ·pointed
ou_t that the Dep_artment of Agriculture ignores thes~ s7t rates; an..d·
because FMB does not enforce them, the aid-program ·subsidizes
foreign-flag o.perations. It wa·s also suggested by labor spokesmen that
Government-aid cargo!?s should not be shipped on American-flag lines
that have foreign-flag operations. The Government representatives
made a brief closing statement saying that - they would carefully
consider the statements made by the maritime industry spokesmen,
that the attempts to close the gap m the balance of payments is a
long-term program, and that the Government would carefully consider
what steps should be taken .

Balanced Diet Is Health Tool·
Just eight years ago; back in 1952, "fr-0zen food" got its first men
tion in an SIU contract. Still intact as part. of the Union agreement,
the clause states: "Frozen foods. shall be considered 'the equivalent
of and serve the s~me.,,....putpose as fresh foods.'~ During the same '52
negotiations, · the contract -clause r~atd.jng fresh milk was also
amended to provide thatv.milk would be served three .t~e~ instead
of only t,wice ,dajiy while in port. .
Another-p'art of the same ··contract provision; long taken for granted '
is this: "An adequate supJJly of,fruit juices shill l>"e provided for tlie
unlicensed personnel. Fresh milk, fruit •. and vegetables will be fµr
nished- at every port touched where available and, if supply is possible,
a sqfficient amount to last until the next port '. or to lasl-until the
food would 'ordinarily, with good care, spoil .• .'' · · - .

MSTS For Hiring · .~
Of For-eig1fCrews-
SAN FRANCISCO' - The

Service may ·be the target of a
Congressional investigation be-
cause of its practice· of hiring for
eign crews. The San Francisco Bay
Area Maritime .Trades· Port Co'un-.
cil has' cailed ·for such an investi-
· ga tion becaus·e at least 17 ·US-.ftat
ships are manned by Japanese na--. -

The ships involved are all LSTs, l

- Government and flying the . Ameri
can flag. They have been runninl
in the F'ar East since 1952 under
a contract with a Japapese / ship..
ping corporation, caUed the Amer
ican Ship Operating Company .
These , ships carry military car
.go exclus~vely to bases in Korea,
Okinawa, Formosa, the Philippine• · . '
and Vietnam. It is estimated that
the total manning involves some
750 jobs. ~
Issue Raised By l\IM&P
The issue was rais~d at the port_
.council meeting by the Masters,
Mates- and Pilots, ·following which
t'he council went on record iliian::
imously to make an issue of this
practice. The unions' position :\a · ..
that these ships should be ope.rated "
by a recognized American shipping
company using American seamen.
· It was pointed out that MSTS'
practice is in violation · ·of two
American mar,.itime laws. One is
the Merchant Marine Act of 1938
calling for Government promotion
of, and assistance for, an Ameri
can-flag • fleet manned by US citi
zens. The second, and more direct
violation, involves the . "50.;50" act; j
which specifically requires that at,. :
least half of· Government-owned 4 '
..cargoes be moved on America~-fl~~
vessels.
Among MSTS excuses fo:r: · this
operation are that it was consid
ered important to bolster the Japa
nese economy. The West Coast
maritime unions hold · tha~ since ,
the Japanes~ economy is booming';
· there is ~o longer any justificati~n, ~
if there ever was one, for manmn1 .. us ships with foreign nationals. . .
... The unions also raised the gues- ., '
J ion of secu'rity clearal).ces ·inr for- ·
eign nationals aboard_ ship_s. whi~. ·
'C!arry classified cargoes. Ameti~an·
