Shipping

! WASHINGTON, May 2 (UP).-
Director Joseph b. Eastman of the
Office of Defense Transportation
today requested the war shipping
administrator 10 requisition Great
Lakes ships if such action is neceS-
sary 10 provide cargo space for
IAN unprecedented seasonal move
ment of iron ore"
Eastman said he was ready to
establish a permit system 10 con-
troll and curtail Great Lakes ship
ments of grain, coal and other
commodities 10 assure movement
of iron ore.
He said grain movements by
water from the upper lake ports
would have TO be curtailed and
that port-to-port movements of
coal on Lake Erie probably would
have to be eliminated. Handling
of other tonnage 10 Great Lakes
ports would have to be diminished
in the interest of greater ore
movements, he added.
The ODT director asked War
Shipping Administrator Emory S
Land to exercise the necessary
powers. including possible requisi-
tioning of ships, to control ore
movements in behalf of his agency
The WPB division of industry
Operations recently directed the
lODT to give preference TO trans
lpOrtation of SS 600 600 tons of ore
this year, but ODT officials said
this probably would have TO be
| Increased.
