OFFER new WAYS
TO AID SHIPPING
Builders Urge Change in Laws on
Relations With Philip
pines.

Extension OF laws governing coast
wise shipping to the Philippines was
urged yesterday by a committee from
the Council Of American Shipbuilders,
in conference with tho Shipping
Board, as one method of Immediately
improving the situation of the ma
tional merchant marine.
The committee was Of the opinion
that other notifications of existing
statutes would be necessary to give
permanent relief, but suggested that
the extension Of the costal regula-
tions- as recommended by the So
called Martus report, submitted to
ker several weeks ago. would have
a material and immediate effect.
Homer L. Ferguson, president Of the
Newport News Dry Dock and Ship
building Company, headed the COM
mittee which met with members of
the board in response to an invita-
tion for cooperation in formulating
a new policy to control operation of
the government feet.
Recent contracts with American
yards have called almost exclusively
for special types Of ships and gen.
orally for those types which could be
used in coastwise work, the board
was informed. 1t was estimated that
an executive order bringing the
Philippine trade within operation of
American coastal laws would mean
an increase of business which would
require twenty-five or thirty ships to
handle it.
AS in the case of the ship owners
and operators who met with the boar d
earlier in the week, the builders
recommended immediate scrapping Of
'unadaptable tonnage"
