Ship Board Officers Set for Grilling Over Subsidy Bill
Washington March 28 Chairman Lasker and shipping board officials face a severe grilling by a joint Senate Commerce and House Merchant Marine committee hearing on the ship subsidy bill. Opponents prepare a cross examination from a pamphlet issued by the board to challenge the bill and expose its faults. Representative Davis of Tennessee and Representative Hardy of Texas will lead questions on authorship plan and motives as Lasker reads a lengthy written statement. A key issue is whether the board will push a program to let only four or five large companies operate the entire U S merchant marine if subsidy is granted.
