U. S. PLANS SMALL
PASSENGER LINERS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-W.D-
The Maritime Commission is plan.
ming to build some "kitchenette'"''
liners-small, compact and econo-
mlcal passengers carriers-to en-.
ter postwar trade completion.
The ships, it was learned to-
night, will be somewhat like the
Washington class which proved sc
successful in the transatlantic bust
ness before the wal. They will be
somewhere between 10000 and
$4,000 gross tons. This is consider.
ably smaller than the Liner
America, the largest passenger
vessel ever built in this country,
which is now a troop transport.
In describing the liners as a
''kitchenette' type, Maritime of.
fetal explained that the ships will
be comparatively small but ample.
They should be able to carry more
than 1000 cabin class passengers
comfortably because of the care
full attention to be given to de-
sign of accomm notation.
Each of these ships will be able
to carry almost half the number
ct passengers which such super
liners as the Queen Mary and
the now Defunct Normandie were
designed to accommodate.
