marginal feet Of peacetime ships
that can be thrown into the breach
while we build others-as we did
with our domestic fleet in the early
days of our participation in World
War II. And it has been considered
more economical to keep this fleet
working than to maintain it in idle
ness.
Defense Governing Factor.
If this defense factor were not in
the picture, even the proponents OF
a strong American merchant marine
admit that the survival or nonsur-
vival of our fleet would be a matter
of little national Importance. For,
according to the kind Of thinking
on which our economy is theoreti-
cal1y based, we and our customers
would, of course, lose nothing If we
allowed our goods to be carried in
foreign ships more cheaply than We
can carry them in our ships.
Considerations of national defense
are, however, as we have indicated
the governing factor when one be-
gins asking why We need strong
merchant marine. Minor, subsidiary
arguments for keeping up a fleet
can be made and are made OCCASION
ally. The nation on which we de-
pend to carry our goods may be-
come involved in a war though we
stay at peace, and may therefore
be unable to take care of our traffic.
A merchant feet is good for our
prestige, and it's agents are, in effect,
worldwide advertisers OF American
products. And so on.
But strategic necessity remains
the big argument, even despite the
revolutionary concept of the push
button war" of this new atomic age.
In essence, therefore, the American
maritime problem lis: To what
lengths are we willing to go to hold,
! in nucleus, a merchant fleet we
may need in some future national
emergency? How big white ele-
phant of this sort can we afford to
support? This is the question
America must decide.
The decision cannot, of course, be
predicted, but the circumstances in
which it will be taken may easily be
outlined.
Industry Faces Competition.
Briefly, our maritime industry
faces cutthroat competition abroad
and at home, and it can cope with
neither unless it is helped to do so
On overseas routes, once other
nations have rebuilt their fleets ano
world trade has settled back to a
somewhat mere normal condition
we will probably find ourselves, ex-
cept on a few special runs, unable
to compste freely with foreign car
yiers because of the much higher
costs of our operations. The CON-
paratively huge wages our sean1en
get are a big factor here.
Despite the likelihood that for
Evening star., 1946-12-29

eien costs will rise somewhat. 1t
seems certain that this cost dlf-
ferential can be overcome only
through heavy subsidiZation OF
overseas routes. We have had to
do it in the past, and it has been
expensive. 1t will probably be more
expensive in the future. We will
either pay the bill. OF give up our
overseas merchant fleet.
With regard to domestic COM
merce. the situation is somewhat
different. Foreign ships. by law
are excluded from competition with
ours. in our coastal trade: the COM
petition in this field is from rail-
ways.
Now the railways, too, have high
operating costs these days. But
railways 90 inland as we'll as along
the coasts, and when they go in
land they do not have to COM
pete with shipping. Therefore
they can and, the shippers say. dc
charge high rates for inland hauls,
where they have no competition
| from the ships, and lower rates for
hauls on which the ships compete
| The shippers claim that is why
today, even with the Government
controlling most of our shipping
there is almost no water-borne
trade along our coasts except IN
such special categories as coal and
! oil.
Rail Rate Fixing Hurts.

the United States Maritime Com
mission. are now appealing to the

The next Speaker was Theodore
M. Pomeroy of New York, whose
place was soon taken by one of
Americas outstanding citizens,
James G. Blaine of Maine, the
"Plumed Knight" who went down to
defeat in the presidential election
of 1884, when Grover Cleveland was
elected. 1t is said that the remark
made by a Mr.. Burchard-"Rum,
Romanism and Rebellion"-in a
speech inended to help the Republi-
can candidate, actually operated
just to the contrary. Blaine served
three terms as Speaker and during
that time resided at 821 Fifteenth
street NV. (no longer standing.
James Blaine Became
Candidate for President
Subsequently he lived on Dupont
Circle, when he was a candidate for
the presidency. There he had a
stained glass window put in the hall
faithfully reproducing the features
Of an elderly colored woman who
had served them devotedly. He died
in the Rodgers house, site of what
was formerly the Belasco Theater,
and was buried in Rock Creek Gene
tery. His remains were removed
from there some years ago.
Michael c. Kerr of Indiana, who
lived at the Willard Hotel when in
town, followed Blaine. He took Office
December 6, 1875, and died August
10, 1876. He was succeeded by Sam
uel J. Randall, high tariff Demo-
crat of Pennsylvania, who came into
the limelight and held the spot y
for three consecutive terms. Some
say he was the greatest Speaker the
House ever had, but that opinion
may we'll be challenged. The late
C. C. Lancaster, Washington law
yer and civic worker, married Mr..
Randall's daughter, and, no doubt,
the Speakers descendants are still
residing in this city. Mr.. Randall.
when in Congress, resided at l20 c
street Sc.
J. Warren Keifer of Ohio became
Speaker in December, 1881, and
served throughout the 47th Congress,
when he was succeeded by John G.
Carlisle of Kentucky, very able
man, who retained the Office for
three terms and later became Secre-
tary of the Treasury during Mr.
Cleveland's second administration.
He stopped at the old Riggs House,
which stood on the southeast corner
of Fifteenth and G streets, opposite
the Treasury.

halt this practice of discriminatory"
rate-fxing by the railways. They
assert that if the railways were
forced to spread their costs equally
over all routes, our ships could COM
pete successfully and make enough
money to warrant their unsubsidiZed
operation by private concerns.
But unless such help is forth
coming, it would seem the United
States, for the first time, will find
itself without even domestic mer-
chant feet such as the one which
played so important a part for us
during the early stages of the recent
war.
Summing up, then:
Assuming we want strong mer-
chant marine, 1t can be seen that
the best we can hope to do is to
keep a feet equal to or perhaps a
little bigger than our pre-Pearl
Harbor fleet. 1t is also entirely pos
sible that we shall end up few
years hence with no merchant
marine at all.
This is an odd set of thoughts to
null over in this day when we stand
possessed of the vastest aggregation
of shipping in the history of the
world.
But we would do well to null them
over. For, as we have seen, our
merchant marine will not grow of its
own accord, any more than an Army
or Navy will. If we want one, We
must cultivate one. We can do so
only by conscious decision, which
can not be long postponed.

Tex, frankly labeled the project an

problem is to develop methods to

own expense. Wide-open bars were
maintained in the Senate and
House wings of the building.
In the basement of the House
wing of the building was barroonl,
kept by a good-natured 1rishman
named John Foye, which was such
a favorite resort for many of the
Representative that the House
occasionally found itself without
quorum, and would dispatch an Off
Ger to this attractive spot to summon
the abSenteeS.
This nuisance was abated by Mr..
Winthrop, whose order for its sup
preston was one of his first official
acts after his election to the speak
ership. This barroom, together with
the one in the other wing OF the
Capitol, had been kept open for
many years in direct violation OF a
Joint rule of Congress forbidding
the sale or exposure of ardent
spirits within the walls of the Capt.
tol or the grounds adjacent.
Howell Cobb Was General
| In Confederate Army
Speaker Winthrop was a noted
orator of his day, and delivered the
principal address at the laying OF
/ the cornerstone of the Washington
Monument July 4, 1848 He also pre-
Dared an address which was to be
delivered by him at the dedication
of the Monument, February 81, 1885,
but he was unable to be present.
Howell Cobb of Georgia, the next
Speaker, after leaving Congress be-
came Governor of Georgia, and after
further term in Congress became
Secretary of the Treasury during the
presidency of James Buchanan.
During the Civil War he served In
the Confederate Army as a major
general.
Linn BOYD of Kentucky served as
Speaker during the 32d and 33d
Congresses, and was followed by Ma
thaniel P. Banks of Massachusetts
IN TIE 34th Congress. He served
many years in the House of Repre-
sentatives, was Governor of Massa-
chusetts and a conspicuous major
general in the Union Army from
] 1861 to 1865. 1t is said he was al
ways a notable personality. His
erect figure, military eye and splen-
did voice secured for him the ad-
miring attention of the galleries
whenever he addressed the House.
But. Gen. Banks was not elected
Speaker unanimously. for we are
told that 1873 viva voce votes were
taken, and four votes under plu-
rality resolution adopted that day
before his election was declared.
Following Banks came James l.
Orr of South Carolina, then William
Pennington of New Jersey, Galusha

Ter Colfax of Indiana, who served
as Speaker during the 38th, seth
and 40th Congresses.

which we're kept by some of the
best people. 1t is probable that
hotel facilities were not available
for all, and, even had the capaci-
ties of the hotels been sufficient,
the Senators and Representatives
probably would have preferred to
reside in boarding houses where
there was more privacy. OF course,
some members preferred to live in
hotels, but these were the excep-
tions.
For a while Clay lived in the
Decatur House, and he is said to
have been real estate holder in
Washington, having at an early date
traded what is now the site of the
Belasco Theater for the mule Com
modore John Rodgers brought back

Clay sent the animal to his Ken
lucky stock farm for breeding pur-
poses.
Following John w. Taylor's term
as Speaker, which began Novem-
ber Is, 1920, came Philip P. Barbour,
then Clay again, then Andrew
Stevenson, who served from 1927 to
1888, when he resigned and was
succeeded by John Bell on December
II, 1885, James K. Polk became
Speaker and was again elected Sep
tember 4, 1887.

For serious offenses the men would

The problem of dealing with such
offenses in any UNIT program still

to instill in them sense OF their

allowed away from the post on over
night passes, saying he would rather
have them "in" by II pm. or mid
night. Some arrangement may be
made to allow men overnight passes
provided they have place to stay
with responsible persons.
What Men Do With Leisure
To Be Watched Carefully
What the men do between 5 pm.
and 6 am, Gen. Devine said, will be
watched as carefully as their work.
They will have Wednesday and Sat-
urday afternoons and Sundays of.
The ground forces in mapping the
training program operated on the
Army adage of "gettin' thar fustest
with the mostest" in assigning in
structors. To train the 664, in four
companies of the battalion, there will
be rs officers, warrant officers and
482 enlisted cadre-instructors-"au
handpicked, says Gen. Devine.
The experimental unit has been
assigned quarters in a special sec
ton of the post away from other
troops.
The unit will have its own recrea-
ton halls, barracks. mess hall, ad-
ministrative buildings, library and
newspaper, as we'll as its beerless
PIX, but it'll still be the Army.
How Period of Training
| Will Be Apportioned
| Here's how the training will be
divided: Initial two weeks, precycle
processing and orientation; eight
weeks of basic individual training;
two weeks of advanced individual
training; 13 weeks of specialized
branch training, and one week, the
| last, deprocessing and travel.
For the second 26 weeks, plans are
indefinite, but Gen. Devine said he
hopes the War Department will allow
the men to remain together. Under
UNIT, some would do so while others
would take their choice of special
training.
What the 664 will receive here Is
the Army's closest approximation to
planned UNIT as can be obtained
now, the officers explained. In the
branch training, the men will be di'
vided among these platoons: Three
infantry. two artillery, one anti
aircraft, two armored cavalry, ons
engineer, a signal, ordinance, quar-
termaster. medical, transportation
and chemical warfare.
