The next six weeks will determine
whether the United States is to have an
adequate merchant marine or is to go
back to the status of 20 years ago" Mr.
Furuscth said. Whether Intentionally
or not. the present stand of the ship own
crs is designed to kill the seamen's act
and with support removed it would be i'm
possible to keep American ships afloat.'
