Selig Out U. S. Fleet Faces Charges Over Merchant Shipping
Washington December 7 AP Maritime Commissioner Grenville Mellen accused shipping officials of selling out the U S merchant fleet and threatening national defense. David Bruce acting foreign aid chief disputed the charge. Mellen said ECA plans seek changes in shipping rules under the European Recovery Act when Congress reconvenes. He cited the need to let foreign ships carry a larger share of shipping costs with Marshall Plan dollars, noting over 1 900 US firms have left business in the past 16 months. Bruce said Congress should enforce the one half provision only for bulk cargoes and insisted the Marshall Plan agency does not seek a blanket change.
