The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMa3or Robert 8. Allen on active duty)


 WASHINGTON. = Congression- al probers would do well to ask the War Shipping Administration for wartime figures on the profits of steamship companies. They are enormous.
 For instance the West Kyska, an aged tub owned by the Waterman Steamship Company of Mobile, is valued at only $8.139. Yet between May, 1941, and June, 1922, she made various trips to the Red Sea for which she was paid the insig- nificant sum of $325,l65 per trip. In other words, the average gross income of the West Kyska was al- most 4000 percent.
 Incidentally the Water a n Steamship Company appears es- pecially favored by the government. For fortnight Controller General Lindsay Warren has found that this company, after buying five vessels, from the maritime com- mission for only $596, ,000, later sold five older ships back to the mari time commission for $3,374,7O0
 This, however, was only part of it. The Waterman Company had a total of twelve ships, including the West Kyska, with an aggregate book value of $786,422, on which the Waterman Company received an average gross income of $3,- 342,669-or about 450 percent-for individual trips to Red Sea ports, carrying supplies to the British. Of course, wartime insurance rates zoomed and seamen's wages were sky high, but even so, Red Sea profits look lush.
 Other Waterman ships which have cashed in heavily on voyages to this area are the following, with income per voyage:
 The Bienville, valued at $16,581 income, $313,765.
 The Antinous, valued at $52,272; income, $512,384
 The Ipswich, valued at $30,847; income. s222, ,442.
 The Iberville, valued at $58,00Os income, $268. .9O8.
 The Lafayette, valued at $76,346; income. $261,521.
 The Gateway City, valued at $24;952 income, $162.987.
 The Jean LaFitte, valued at $43,- O39; income, $348,667

Justice official
Describes Axis
Political War

Axis political warfare in the
Western Hemisphere, as in Eruope.
was planned as a preliminary to
military conquest and subjugation.
Laurence Z, Knapp. special assistant
to the Attorney General. declared II
an address last night before the Dis
trict Womens Bar Associa ton at
the Statler Hotel.
Mr.. Knapp. chief of the Latin
American section Of the war divi-
sion OF the Justice Department. dis
cuSSed his work as liaison officer,
representing the United States Gov
ernment. with the Inter- American
Committee on Political Defense.
The speaker pointed out that a
widespread Quisllng underground
existed in this hemisphere when the
committee was created by the Rio
De Janeiro Conference of Foreign
Ministers.
This Axis political warfare. he
continued consisted not only in
flooding the Americas with a host
OF subversive agents. masked as dip
lomatlc representatives. but in or
ganizlng. through these agents, q
vast network of fifth column or
carnations composed of the local
AXIS resident populations. business
firms and cultural organiza tions. as
well as totalitarian svmpathizers
among native citizens and groups.
1t was the Inter American Com
mittee on Political Defense. Mr.
Knapp pointed out. which directed
the spotlight of publicity on German
espionage rings in two American re-
publics. These rings extended into
other American nations and in
cluded the Axis spy, Luning. who
was operating in Cuba, where he was
caught, convicted and executed, Mr..
Knapp said.
Less sensational. he continued. but
equally vital to the creation of a

were extensive plans formulated bv
the committee on a wide range of
subjects. Included were methods to
protect production and shipping ia
cilities against sabotage, systems for
censorship of dangerous communica-
tions, meaures for registration of
aliens. control of travel of danger
Gus or suspected individuals. emer-
gency controls over acquisition and
loss of citizenship and detention of
dangerous Axis nationals.
The committee recommendations
submitted to the American repub-
lies for adoption, have been imple-
mented, he said. by visits of COM
'mittee members to individual coun-
tries for frank conferences with To-
cal administrative officials. Such Wis
its to many of the republics have
provided a deep mutual appreciation
OF common problems and a great
stimulus to the governments to work
unitedly, under committee leader
ship, toward prompt and energetic
solution of those problems, he said.
