fleet corporation and its remaining 3S
ships and 1000 employees are trans
ferred to the Department of Commerce
for direction. Secretary Roper's de-
partment intends to carry on the pol
icy of winding up commercial mari
time activities.

approximately 300 ships. 1t had hun
dreds Of employees scattered about
this country and in foreign ports. Sale
and lease of its shipping lines have re-
duced both personnel and ships.

workers as 1t needs. Many will be alb
sorbed temporarily by the depart
ment, officials expecting the force to
be decreased gradually as the fleet
corporations affairs are closed IN.
