American AirIines
Seeks Control Of
Transatlantic Line
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A titanic struggle between Amer
lean interests for commercial air
supremacy over the Atlantic was
foreshadowed today by announce
ment that American Airlines. Inc,
is seeking to acquire control of
American Export Airlines, Inc.
An agreement. under which Amer
lean Airlines would purchase a
dominant interest in Export Air
lines for 100000, subject to ap-
proval by the Civil Aeronautics
Board, was announced jointly last
night.
American Export Lines, Inc, a
steamship company, which estab-
lished the International airline sub
sidiary in 1897, has been ordered by
the CAB to comply with a law
which forbids control Of air carriers
by surface carriers.
Export Airlines is the only COM
pany to challenge Pan American
ArWays, Inc, worlds largest airline
which pioneered 100000 miles of for
elgn air routes with the American
mag. across the Atlantic. The war
interrupted the struggle after the
CAB had granted Export certificates
TO operate between the United
States and Ireland and Portugal
With the war. Export began f1yinp
to Ireland and Africa as a contra ct
carrier for the Navy and is operat-
ing regularly.
Pan American has an important
advantage in its agreements for ex-
elusive landing rights in many for
eign countries. Export Airlines had
no such landing rights overseas
when the war began.
Seventeen airlines, including
American and Export, have been
working through = committee on

tion to proposals for a single Amer

Admiral Land Defend,
|Shipyard Fee System
Before House GROUP
Ey the Associated Press.

A stout defense of fees paid opera :
tors of Government-owned ship
yards was made late yesterday by
Chairman Emory S. Land of the
Maritime Commission, testifying be-
fore House committee Investigate
Ing reports they are excessive.
These shipbuilders have done one
OF the greatest managerial Jobs in
all history, Admiral Land declared
adding that the commissions fee
policy was the most economical and
most productive one that could have
been adopted.
The Merchant Marine subcommit-
tee, headed by Representative Cap
ozzoli, Democrat, of New York, called
the hearing to consider data COM
piled by its investigators showing
that 10 companies, operating % Gov
ernment-owned yards, had earned
STA ,944 ,051 in fees as of November
30, 1943, and under existing con-
tracts would ultimately receive fees
of $228, ,234 1892.
The yards cost the Government
S37l ,960,1l3 and committee investi-
gators said the operators capital
investment was only 22,879,276.
Admiral Land, however, challenged
the latter figure, saying it should
be $30,029, ,275, to include money
loaned to the operators by share
holders.
Furthermore, Admiral Land ar
gued. that figure should not be called
the operators capital investment" :"
but their fixed working capital. In
some cases, he said, it was purely
nominal" just to establish credit
arrangements with the operators
bank.
There is virtually no relationship
between shipbuilder's profit in this
brilliant production record and his
invested capital" Admiral Land said.
His profit is measured on the basis
OF output, on the basis of production
achieved and not upon the dollars
he has invested in the yard or its
facilities"

MacArthur's Strateqy
Leaves Thousands Of
laps Without Supplies

Ry the Associated Press.
ALLIED HEADQ UARTERS S
SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, Mar. 23.-
Leapfrog landings in the Bismarck
Archipelago and the steady attrition
of Japan's merchant fleet, vital tc
the supply of her scattered Pacific
garrisons, are underscoring Gen
Douglas MacArthur's "cut them of
and let them starve" strategy OF
how to fight Japan.
Since the first of the year. 227
Japanese cargo ships have been
sunk in the Central and Southwest
Pacific, aside from nearly 600
barges, many of them loaded with
troops and supplies. These ships
were links in lifelines to wide flung
defense outposts.
Particularly off the northwest
coast of New Guinea have Japan's
sealanes come increasingly under
Allied bombsights. Last week end
an entire t1ve-ship enemy convoy
was sunk between Hollandia and
Wewak. and Gen. Macarthur an
nounced today that Allied bombers
sank japanese destroyer and two
small merchantmen in that general
area
Thousands Face Starvation.
Under Gen. MacArthur's strategy
OF bypassing enemy strongpoints to
cut of their supply lines, uncounted
thousands of japanese troops are
left starving or facing starvation in
the Solomons, on New Britain and
New Ireland.
The same may be in store for New
Guinea.
The latest Bismarck Archipelago
landings in the st. Matthias Islands,
invaded Monday, were securely in
hand today as marines from Solo,
mons bases cleaned up the slight
opposition found on Emirau Island
and neighboring Elomusao. This
completed circle of Allied holdings
the Bismarck Sea, trapping
enemy troops at Rabaul and Ka-
vieng.
Rabaul, the New Britain base
which Gen. Macarthur has termed
in view of the latest land
lngs. was pounded with 1873 tons of
explosives Monday.
To the west, over Northwestern
New Guinea, Wewak was plastered
with 100 tons which caused consid-
erable damage to supply dumps and
oarges in the harbor. The latest
enemy destroyer sunk was spotted
by a Liberator % miles east of
Tadji, in the Aitape area of New
Guinea. Monday night. A 1000
pound bomb badly crippled the
ship, and the next morning the Lib
orator finished it off with 1000
pounds of explosives.
