Port-security Bill Speeds Through Washington
The administration asked the House to approve an emergency port security bill to guard U S harbors against sabotage and atomic threats. Magnuson said the measure, backed by Defense Justice and Labor along with the Coast Guard, would restore wartime controls and allow the President to act during national emergencies. It would regulate foreign vessel anchorage inspection and movement, seize ships and remove crews, and shield harbors and water-front facilities from sabotage. Magnuson warned Russia exploits access and cited unions as remaining Communist strongholds in some waterfront areas.
