will spin yarns by the hour of
the keen competition which ex-
listed in the good old days" D..
The stories of the races between
the Eliza Ann, successor to the
Sue, and the Columbia, owned by
Talcott Burr. How they often
fought for the speed supremacy
of the sound.
There were no large silver
loving cups, nor were there
any cash awards, in fact, you
will be told that there wasn't
even an official championship,
much less point series of
races as there is today. But,
there was keen competition and
a rivalry that has never been
matched, they will tell you all
this.
FORMED IN 1854 49, In the
height of this rivalry, the old
t1IllCt 1CSd11S, dl10 L11C yoA0A6
members have heard the story
many times, the Carolina Yacht
club was formed in 1854. It was
thi. same year that Daniel Bak
er was elected commodore 8.
Daniel Baker did much to in
crease the already intense inter-
est in sailing.
And that too was the year. the
adnirals say that Parker
Ounce built a craft of three
logs pinned together which he
named the Jennie c. The
Jennie @, was a fast craft, the
old timers recall, faster than
you would have thought such a
rig could be.
Tomorrow Along the Cape
Fear will resume this story of
the Carolina Yacht club and tell
you about the race between the
Jennie @. and the La Favorite.

and House Republican leaders
would meet tomorrow to seek
lagreement on anti-inflation legis-
lation . be handled during the
emergency session of Congress.
While Taft did not comment on
the administration bill, drafted
at his request, he and other COP
Headers are ready to come out
with their own version of control
legislation.
Denies Report
Taft also denied that he pre-
dicted" meat rationing by next
spring in a speech at New York
yesterday. He complained that
some news accounts had him sug
gesting that meat rationing would
be necessary by April. He said
he neither predicted nor sug-
gested rationing" but simply said
it was a "sounder" proposal than
price control.
Secretary of Commerce W.
Averell Hartman submitted the
administration bill to a Senate
judiciary subcommittee. It was
the first measure prepared in re-
sponse to Republican demands
for detailed spelling out of the
10-point anti-inflation program
sketched by the President in his
November II message to Con-
gress.
Hartman renewed ad1ninistra-
ton assurances that the broad
powers requested would be care
fully limited" in actual use.
Subcommittee Chairman John
S. Cooper, R., KY, pointed out
that the bill would authorize the
government to allocate grain,
rice, dried beans and peas, fats
and oils, livestock, poultry and
milk. He asked Adrian Fisher.
Commerce Department solicitor
who followed Hartman to the
witness stand, whether the terms
of the measure would permit
individual rationing."
1T would include that power" "
Fisher said.
Admits Provisions
Cooper then asked if the bill
would allow the government to
buy up entire farm crops.
Fisher conceded that it would
have that indirect effect.
"And to fix the price," Cooped
pressed.
"That is correct" Fisher re-
piled.
In addition to the listed foods
and iron and steel products, the
bill would authorize the Presi-
/ dent to allocate other materials
if he found after public hear
lngs that shortages affected in
dustrial production, the cost of
living, national defense, or TO-
reign policy.

Early in the l92Os, United Fruit
Company was flying routes in
Central America. The Grace
Line and the Matson Navigation
Company joined Pan.American
in pioneering the first air trans
port services across the Pacific,
down the west coast of South
America, across the Andes.
American Export Lines filed ap-
plication for an overseas route,
before any domestic airline, and
flew the North Atlantic during
the war under a temporary Ger.
tificate. Many other steamship
companies were early applicants
for international air routes.
Three steamship companies have
operated non.scheduled air service

They have their ''first team" In

Under bilateral agreements foreign
airlines, wholly.owned or effectively

they are automatically entitled to air

they are entitled to equal considera-
ton along with those who now, for
the first time, are engaging in over

The American steamship lines do
not ask exclusive rights to pro-
vide air service epen 0uer their

right to provide a complete
transportation service in areas
they now serve-by adding air.
craft to their merchant fleets.
1t has neper been part of U. S.
government policy to prevent carriers
from using other means Of transport.
Railways and shipping companies are
not forbidden to operate bus or truck
lines.
Nor is there basis for the sometimes
expressed fear that steamship COM
panies might stihe development of air
transport. Self-interest alone would
preclude such action. Confronted

How ironical that the nation which
developed those combined opera.

should ignore that lesson Of expe'
rience in peacetime.
Americas merchant marine has
been a backbone of American
defense since the founding of the
Republic. A modern merchant
marine, on which our national
security depends SO heavily, must
fly as well as float!
Twice in our history we allowed
Americas merchant marine to wane
only to have to rebuild it des-
perately in time of need. We should
not make that mistake again.
American security, as well as Ameri.

neglecting wings for ships.
