Shippers Seek 50-50 Law Retention
West Coast shippers urge House members to vote against repealing the 50 per cent requirement on American ships handling foreign aid cargoes. The Pacific American Steamship Assn warns repeal would force costly U S vessels to compete with lower cost foreign freighters for all government cargoes. President E Mayer says 5,000 to 10,000 American seamen and shore workers could lose jobs if the law is repealed. The Senate has already passed the bill.
