The committee proposed that the

four years, with an average expendi-
ture around $150,000,000 yearly. 1t
said the vessels should be subject to
approval by the armed services for

Routes Designated.
The committee provided COM
plete blueprint for its program, de-

proposed, and designating the routes

list were two express type" carriers

the committee said, "war-built trans

best prospect for q strong, progress
sive" system would be provided by
"one that is to the greatest degree
possible privately owned and pri-
vately operated"-with sufficient
Government assistance to Offset
lower construction and operating
costs enjoyed by foreign lines.
500 Subsidy Proposal.
In this connection the committee
favors allowance Of fiat so per
cent Government subsidy-the max
imum under the present law-on
ship construction, and continuation
of the operating subsidies. The
committee pointed out that $685.
900 was paid in operating subsidies
from late 1886 through 1916, but
that this was modest" compared
with other subsidies.
The committee said the United
States spent $4,000, 100000 build
ing ships for the recent war and
now has As per cent Of total world
tonnage of ocean-going ships, but
most are emergency types built to
fulfill the most urgent wartime needs
and not well suited for highly COM
petitive commercial operation"
A strengthened domestic shipping
service also was recommended by the
committee.
Serving with Chairman Keller
were Marion B. Folsom, treasurer,
Eastman Kodak Co.; Andrew w.
Robertson, board chairman, West
ington house Electric; James B.
Black, president of Pacific and Elec-
trio, and E. L. Cochrane, retired
vice admiral, who formerly headed
the Navy Department Bureau Of
Ships.
Construction Lag Reported.
At New York, the Shipbuilders
Council of America said at present
there are only 80 ocean-going mer-
chant vessels of more than 1000
gross tons and four large dredges
under construction In nine shipys ards
in the United States.
These vessels total 5000 gross
tons, most will be completed by the
middle of next year and half OF
them are destined for foreign own
ers, the council said. Only two pas
senger ships are under construction,
the sister ships Presidents Wilson
and Cleveland, each of 1880 gross
tons.
In January of this year, the coun-
eli said, there were 81 merchant
vessels under construction in the
United States totaling about 391,-
900 gross tons.
THE volume of merchant ship
building activity in private yards
has thus declined nearly so per cent
since the first of the year." the
council said.

Reuther and Three Aides
Siqn Anti-Red Affidavits

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Nov. Is
President Walter Reuther of the
United Auto Workers (CIO) and
three other union officials today
wired the National Labor Relations
Board that they had signed nom
Communist affidavits required by
the Taft-Hartley Act.
The telegram, which was signed
also by Secretary-Treasurer Emil
Macy and Vice President Richard
Gosser and John Livingston, stated
that the signing of the aff1davits
would in no way prejudice the
unions right to challenge the con-
stitutionality of the law or to fight
for its appeal.
The action was taken at a special
JAW Executive Board meeting
which followed the JAW convention
this week.
The reelection of Mr.. Reuther as
president of the >UAW and the
sweeping election victory of his
ticket Tuesday was a setback to the
Communist minority in the union.

House Group Urges
Settlement Of Alaska
By DPS From Baltic

Displaced persons nom the Banjo
states and other Northern European
areas should be admitted to this
country In great numbers" TO settle
such sparsely occupied strategic
areas as Alaska, q congressional
subcommittee recommended last
night.
A subcommittee Of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, headed
by Representative Fulton, Republic
can, of Pennsylvania, toured the
DIP camps in Europe last summer.
Other members were Representa-
tives Javits, Republican, of New
York, and Pfeifer, Democrat, of New
York. They were assisted by Repre-
sentative Chelf, Democrat, of Ken
lucky.
The committee formally recon-
mended that Congress pass legisla-
ton admitting an unstated number
OF displaced persons and thus give
big boost to the program to re-
settle a large part of the 1000
persons now receiving help from the
international Refugee Organization.
All nationalities would be admitted.
The suggestion that Bats and other
Northern Europeans 60 to Alaska
was made because Of their proven
hardwood"
Mr.. Fulton. in releasing the report,
pointed out that it was critical Of
France which thus far has not
formally Joined the IRO. Frances
membership is necessary to make
the organization fully operative. Mr..
Fulton indicated that he feels any
aid granted that nation by Congress
should include proviso that France
admit its flair share" of refugees.
20 Per Cent Of DPS Are Jewish.
The report pointed out that only
70 per cent Of the displaced per-
sons are Jewish. 1t urged the Amer
lean delegation at the United Ma
tons to insist that in the Palestine
settlement, now being worked out
provision be made speedily to open
Palestine's doors to the immigration
of Jewish displaced persons"

placed persons ARE not subversives

.psople. They are democratic and
profoundly interested In settled
lives In an individual economy. They,
are mostly young and skilled. Prac-
tically all of them want to work"
The United States, the report
went on, rs losing the opportunity
to obtain much-needed immigrant
material by delaying enactment Of O.
special immigration statute for re-
settlement Of displaced persons"
This Nation has accepted the hui
name principle that no displaced
person should be forced to return
to his homeland" and therefore
it should equally assure those who
cannot 60 home again that they will
not be condemned TO living death
but will be resettled where they
can md . home and peace"
Propaganda Control Criticized.
Treatment Of displaced persons In
the American zone Of Germany was
praised in part but criticized for not
making complete use Of their tai
ents, for excessive screening"
which has brought q continual
sense of insecurity" in some cases,
and for not exercising adequate
control over propaganda in the DIP
camps.
The committee recommended that
new international conference be
called to establish quotas and con-
ditions of resettlement and set a
deadline beyond which individuals
would not be able to qualify for IRO
aid The report showed that $500
persons already have been moved
to other nations for resettlement
and plans are being worked out to
move an additional 272,700 be-
tween now and next July !.

he was making a wrong or corrupt

National Group Urged
To Press Macarthur
For President Drive
BY The Associated Press

MILWAUKEE,, Nov. 15.-Forma
ton Of a national committee to work
for the nomination of Gen. Douglas
Macarthur as the 1948 Republican
presidential candidate was urged
today at meeting of Macarthur
for President clubs of II States.
Delegates to a conference called
by Lansing Hoyt. Wisconsin Mac
Arthur Club chairman, recon-
mended the establishment of ma
tional committee headquarters in
Milwaukee, the home city of Gen
Macarthur.
A resolution adopted by the group
declared that no attempt would be
made to invade "favorite SON
States to secure national conven-
ton delegates.
Secondary Support Sought.
The resolution added that every
attempt should be made to get
secondary support from delegates
of other States to the G. o. P. con-
vention in Philadelphia.
No new information as to Gen.
MacArthur's attitude toward the
movement in his behalf turned up
at the meeting.
Joseph Choate. Los Angeles at
torney, read a letter from the gen.
eral dated September 10 in which
he did not touch on the subject but
stated that "the issues facing our
country, and indeed the entire civil
iized world, are perplexing and
grave but they are by no means
trsuperable.
Expected to Accept.
Gen. MacArthur's letter added:
~The need of course is not in the
concentration of greater power in
the controls of the State, but in
the reservation of much more
power in the people as intended by
the constitutional mandates-tor
more leadership and less direction"
Mr.. Hoyt told the delegates I'VE
have reason to believe Douglas Mac
Arthur will accept the Republican
nomination when it is offered to
him, otherwise we would not be
engaged in this great cause"

Sales Tax Move Assailed.
Mr.. Dingell and Mr.. Eberharter
opposed the income tax reduction
bills President Truman vetoed at the
last session. They also have opposed
Federal sales tax, which, they
charge, has been publicly advocated
by a majority of the Magill Com
mittee.
IF the low income groups are 60
ing to have sales tax rammed down
their throats in addition to the Re-
publican inf1ationary prices. at least
they should be entitled to have the
decisions made in public, and a
chance to register their protests,
said Mr.. Eberharter.
Meanwhile, prospects that married
couples may get a chance to save
money on Federal income taxes by
splitting their income were bright
ened because Treasury tax report
indorsed the plan.
The report said Nation wide in
come splitting, now possible only in
l3 States with community property
laws, would do much to end the
inequities resulting from the present
tax treatment of family income" and
to reduce "protracted and extensive
litigation"
