Subsidy Bill Favored Amid Democratic Opposition
Washington January 18 Senate commerce committee approved a favorable report on Frye’s ship subsidy bill with Democratic members voting against reporting. Amendments include allowing mail vessels to use front or steel and capping bounty vessels at 1,000 gross tons. The report aims for US maritime supremacy in Asia and the Gulf and Caribbean, trade with South America, and stronger North Atlantic representation, predicting ten years to achieve aims. Frye cites costs of service, anticipated deficits of about 2 million annually, and subsidies to equalize costs with foreign shipowners under a US-built, US-crewed fleet.
