REP. SIR0VICH
TO FIGHT FOR
SUPERL|NER
international News Service


In spite Of marine engineering
frowns. a determined little gour
in Congress plans for the coming
session a vigorous drive to provide
the American merchant marine
with fast Super-liners designed tc
carry thousands across the At
lantic at bargain prices.
Representative Sirovich CD OF
New York heads the movement
During the House Merchant Ma
rine Committee ship7subSidy hear
ings, he urged legislation to pro,
vide such ships. Later he an
nounced he would introduce legiS'
lation to carry out these ideas at
the new session.
The action of the United States
Lines Company in deciding to let
contracts for q smaller, 30,000-ton
boat for transatlantic passenger
service has not in any way
changed Sirovich'S mind, it was
learned. He still intends to press
his demands for a super-liner.
Called Impractical
United States Lines Company
officials declared, when announc-
ing they would let a contract for
@ vessel of the general type OF the
Manhattan and the Washington,
now in service, that the superlirAr
type of boat was impractical. TIey
asserted that craft such as the
enormously expensive Normandle
were more or less white elephants.
Under present tentative plans,
the So-called Superliner which will
be called for in legislation to be
introduced, would not be entirely
similar to the Normandie, or the
Queen Mary. which Great Britain
Is completing. The American super
liner, according to existing ideas,
would be a pullman" type boat,
capable of hauling 5000 paSsen.
gers on each trip.
Not Luxurious
Accommodations would be COM
Portable, but nothing like the lux
urious quarters provided on the
Nornandie. On the other hand,
the proposed American boat would
make the crossing in three and
q half days.
The proposed boat would be a
100000 gross tons craft. 1880 feet
long, and would cost approx
mately so million dollars. The
French boat, Normandie, cost 81
million dollars. all of which was
guaranteed by the French govern
ment. The Normandie, inciden-
tally, has an estimated operating
cost of about 10 million dollars
yearly. The proposed American
vessel would operate for a little
less money.
The idea behind the move for
the novel American superliner was
that, built for speed as planned, it
would provide a possible European
vacation for Americans who have
but two weeks holiday during the
summer.

Col. Louis McHenry Howe, princi-

Col. Howe has not been in good
health for several years and since his
recent trip to Boston with the PreSi-
dent, when he overtaXed his strength,
he has been confined to bed suffering
from bronchial trouble complicated
by cardiac weakness. This is the
diagnosis of Dr. Ross McIntire. U. S.

been seeing Col Howe daily since his
illness became serious.

Howe's condition yesterday and he felt
so much better today he was per-

Because of their long intimate aSso-

character, loyalty and ability of his
old friend, President Roosevelt is
naturally concerned about his secre-
tary's illness. The latter was in a
cheerful mood today, however. when
he sat in his bed room chatting with
friends.
Col Howe is 81 years old and has
been associated with the President since
1910, when the latter first went to the
New York Assembly in Albany. Col.
Howe at that time was on the Albany

Congress was bluntly warned today
by S. Clay Williams, retiring head Of

must be ready to destroy the inefficient
minority in business if it determines
to protect labor on wages and hours
OF work.
Leaning back in his chair at the

CATION of N R. A.. and pointing his
finger at the Senators around him,
Williams said:
You must enforce the code for the
social benefits involved against the

avoid the destruction of the inefficient
units then we've got to abandon the
purpose of serving the social side"

Questioned closely by Senator King,

told the committee there must be some
modification of the antitrust laws to
