LINERS To HUNT
FOR ice

Transatlantic steamship corpora
tions have been asked to cooperate
with the United States coast guard
during the spring and early summer
in the effort to keep shipping ade
ouately warned Of the presence OF
icebergs.
Commandment F. c. Billiard, Of the
coast guard, designated the cutters
Modoc and Mojave. two or the
crack vessels of the service, tC
carry on the international ice patrol
this season. The patrol is provided
for by the international convention
for the safety of life at sea signed
in London in 1913 and 1914.
Ship commanders were asked to
radio the following information to
the coast guard cutters:
To Make Report
/. Icebergs or distractions sighted
should be reported giving date
time, latitude, longitude, set and
drift and in the case Of icebergs
the temperature Of the water at the
time sighted.

This data will facilitate the
drawing of q temperature curve
which will be useful in locating the
branches Of the Labrador current.
the coast guard said. ut is also
requested that radio operators de-
sist, as far as practicable from op-
Grating at the above times in order
to lessen radio interference"
The ice patrol vessels general
radio call letters are NIDK, a spe-
cial call for the ship actually on
patrol. It should not be confused
with the regular radio call letters
assigned To the individual vessels.
Ice-information will be broadcast
in plain, concise English and will
give the position of the patrol YES
sci. location and description of the
ice and other necessary data. This
information will be given at any
time to any ship with which the
patrol vessels can comm unicate.
Object of Patrol
The object of the ice patrol serv-
ice is to locate the icebergs and
field nearest to the transatlantic
steamship lanes. 1t will be the duty
of the patrol vessels to determine
the southerly, easterly and wester-
ly limits of the ice and to keep in
touch with these fields as they move
southwark in order that radio mes
sages may DE sent out daily, giving
the whereabouts Of the ice.
During the months of March,
April, May and June, or longer if
necessary. the Modoc and Mojave
will base on Halifax. Nova Scotia.
The patrol will be continuous. Four
radio broadcasts will be transmitted
by the vessel on patrol. Each broad
cast will be preceded by the gen
eral call QST on 500 meters, while
the ice broadcast following will be
given on l ,713 and 706 meters.

MARINE PLAN

Composite recommendations for
the upbuilding of the American

shippers. were submitted today to

mittee by w. A. d. Evans, presi.

average losses sustained by the
Shipping Board under the present
operation, and provision for an
equitable distribution of mail con-
tracts to encourage cargo ship
operation.
Longtime contracts with private
operators for maintenance OF ade.
quate service after essential and
most promising trade routes Of the
world have been determined.
Provision for a continuing ship
building program in accordance
with the best shipping knowledge,
with a construction loan fund to
permit loans up to Is per cent
Of the total cost, and provision
for the recapture of certain
proportion. OF profits for additional
ship construction.

When the New York Congress-

tom, voiced protests against any
such precedent shattering action,
walker observed: 'Oh, we'd turn
that dockage right over to COM
mercial enterprises, which would
employ thousands of men where
only hundreds are now employed.
Think of the expansion it would
mean to our harbor facilities"
The outraged Congressman kept
protesting, one speaking of the pro-
tests certain to arise from the navy
yard workers.
Sure. couple hundred who lost
their jobs would kick" the mayor
admitted. with a careless wave of
the hand, but we'd give jobs to
thousands and those few would get

Amid much Congressional head.

Put an amendment in the navy

that old navy yard, and if there's
any squawk, I'll take the rap"
Mr.. Wagner's Breath
Senator Wagner Cd of New
York. who was Walkers host on
Capitol Hill, observed afterwards:
The mayors suggestion took my
breath. I'll have to study it be-

The dapper New York executive
gathered speed as he went along
while in Washington. He began
the day by keeping three Cabinet
members waiting 40 minutes to see
him, was only 80 minutes late to
see President Coolidge, II minutes
tardy for a date with the New
York Congressional delegation and
actually caught the 430 train on
