PORT AUTHORITY
ASKS ACT CHANGE

The Wilmington Port commits
! sion, through ]. T. HERS, its execu
tive general agent, yesterday flee
a brief with Congressional com
mittee requesting an amendment
| of the Interstate Commerce act
authorizing the Interstate Com
merce Commission to Require the
institution Of new and adequate op
erations where justifiable, to in
sure adequate shipping services
between Wilmington and North At.
lantic, West Gulf and Pacific
ports.
The endorsement of the N. c.
State Ports Authority has been re-
quested in order to solicit rem
edy for the obvious unjust and
discriminatory situation which pre-
walls with respect to North Caro-
lina's waterborne commerce.
Although negotiations are now
under way with operators of coast
wise and intercoastal lines for the
institution of the required services,
''in the event that these negotia.
tons are unsuccessful, there does
not appear to be any relief which
can be obtained by North Carolina
interests through the invoking of
any existing law the brief main
tains.
Under its present authority, the
1. c. c. has no power to require
the institution of new operations by
water carriers, and the petition
therefore recommends that the In
terstate Commerce Act be amend
ed to extend the I. c. C.'s authori-
ty to require these services where
they are justified.
In stating Wilmington's logical
needs, the Port Commissions brief
reads: 'In order for North Caro-
lima commerce and industry to
compete fairly with commerce and
industry of other states, existing
disadvantages and determinations
should be removed by the estab-
lishment Of water transportation
services between Wilmington and
the port areas shown:
North Atlantic ports-two sail.
ings per week; West Gulf ports,
two sailings per week; and Pacific
Coast ports, three sailings per
week."
Copies of the brief have beer
forwarded to the Committee or
Commerce of the Senate and the
House Committee on Interstate ano
Foreign Commerce, for hearing
before these committees in connec.
ton with proposed Postwar
Transportation Survey introduced
in the first session of the 79tt
Congress.

Scheduled to arrive here today
the submarine USS Greenling
which has a war record of IL Ions
patrols and over 100000 tons Of
enemy shipping sunk, will be one
of the naval vessels ordered here
for public inspection during Navy
Day celebration in Wilmington.
The history of the USS Greenling
started at the Electric Boat com.
pany in Groton, Conn, where the
keel was laid in November 1910.
1t officially became one of the
United States underseas fighting
craft on January 81, 1912, when
it was commissioned under the
sponsorship of Mrs. R. S. Holmes,
one of the first submarines to be
commissioned after the outbreak
of the war. After three months of
intensive training at New London
and en- route to the Pacific, it was
ready to start its long and success
full career of destruction in enemy
controlled waters.
The Greenling had the honor OF
being one of the first submarines
to be awarded the coveted Presi-
dental Unit Citation 'sfor outstand-
ing performance in combat during
three aggressive war patrols in
enemy-controlled waters, two in
the Truk area and the third in the
Japanese waters off east coast of
Honshu. Operating far from home
base and subjected to enemy depth
charge, gun, bomb and torpedo at
tacks, the Greenling fought against
the enemy boldly and skillfully.

By February 1915 she had COM

each of which is full story in it.
self. She also performed two
special missions which were a vital
part of the coordinated army, navy
and marine warfare against the
Japs.
The dark days of her illustrious
career were on the 18th war patrol
when she was severely damaged
by enemy depth charges. Much
credit goes to her commanding
officer, Commander J. D. GerWick,
for her return to her home base.
Although she is a new ship from
the standpoint of her years, the
Greenling is considered an old vet
eran in terms of submarine war.
fare. The final days of the war
she was engaged in training duty,
preparing young blood for the
prosecution of the unconditional
surrender in the Pacific.
The Greenling has had four
commanding officers Captain H.
c. Bruton, USN, now chief of staff
for Commander Training Com
mand, Submarine Force, Pacific
Fleet, put the ship in commission
and commanded her on the first
four war patrols. During this
period the Captain was awarded
three Navy Crosses and the ship
received the Presidential Unit
Citation. A number of other awards
were made to members of her
crew.
Commander j. D. Grant, USN,
now Commanding officer OF the
submarine USS Toro, relieved Cap

spection service, Lt.-Comdr. A. H.
Pike, senior officer here, said last

The order returning the Coast

Currently the only Coast Guard
personnel stationed in Wilmington
is in the office of Merchant Marine
Inspection. It consists of two COM
missioned officers and three enlist
ed men. Their duties, in the main,
are inspections of marine equip
ment installed in ships being built
by the North Carolina Shipbuilding
company.
Originally a Department of Com
merce branch under the designa-
ton of Bureau of Marine 1nspn ~
ton and Navigation, the Merchant
Marine Inspection service was so
named when it became an adjunct
of the Coast Guard at the time the
United States went to war in 1941.
There has been no decision from
Washington quarters indicating
change in status for the service.
