Shipping board urged to retire from operation and sell tonnage
A committee of the American Steamship Owners association recommended the Shipping Board and Emergency Fleet Corporation retire from operating ships and place duties in private hands. They urged immediate scrapping of inferior vessels, sale of remaining tonnage to Americans with no restrictions, and scrapping of unsold vessels after a reasonable period. The group argued government operation blocks a viable American merchant marine. The letter was led by Albert G. Smith and included industry leaders from major lines.

A deficit figure of about 5 million dollars is under dispute while Treasurer Lacy remains neutral, insisting his earlier estimate of 1.8 million is correct. The final findings may trigger a special session or Council action depending on the committee’s review.
