More Ships For Export

Another vessel is scheduled to pick up cross ties at Pas
cagoula next week for export to Belgium, and arrangements
are being made with another shipper that would give us
two additional ships a month to pick up export cargo. This
would give P~ascagoula a minimum of three ships a month
loading out, and be a considerable boost to its expanding
port development program.
II arrangements are successfully completed with the
second shipper, and indications are that they will be, the
first ship in this program will probably call at Pascagoula
within three weeks, and from then on out will have Pascal
goula as a regularly scheduled port of call. 40
Meanwhile, delivery of $250,OO0 in P:scagoula Port
Improvement bonds is scheduled within the week and funds
Will then be available to go ahead with the planned wharf
extension and warehouse at the South end of the present
city dock property. This warehouse will enable the port
to handle export cargo requiring ~sheddage, and will add
greatly to the f~lexibility of the port program.
Instead of ~collapsing, as rumor has it, the proposed tuna
plants are approaching more concrete form every day.
Three more representatives of the industry flew into Pas
cagoula Friday of last week. Details of their plans cannot
be revealed at this time, but they hold high promise for
Jackson county.
These men represent the second of three proposed
plants that have ~Pascagoula in their future scheme of oper-
ations.
Inc present might be a little rough, but we believe the
countys future is assured. We are using and developing our
natural resources and assets, and in so doing we can't miss.

U. 5. Able 10 Spend
7 Billion 10 Rearm
Europe, Experts Find
BY the Associated Press

Top economic officials have told
the administration it can go ahead
with plans to ask Congress for
up to $2,0OO,00O,000 to rearm
friendly countries.
The National Resources Board
and other key Government agen-
cies reported after a careful study
of all factors. officials disclosed
today, that an arms program OF
that scope would not upset the
Nations economy.
The study found that the United
States possesses enough resources,
manpower and industrial capacity
to undertake such a rearmament
of Europe without resorting to
Government controls such as ra-
tioning and ALLEGATIONS and
without causing any further in
fation.
The American weapons would
20 to the foreign nations par
ticipating in the North Atlantic
alliance, plus Greece, Turkey and
Iran.
Cost Study Revised,
officials said the cost study now
is being revised to take into ac-
count continuing price drops in
the United States. which are ex-
pected to increase the margin
of safety" noted in the earlier con-
clusion.
Assistant Secretary of State
Ernest Gross currently is draw
ing up a foreign military aid pro-
gram calling for Congress to ap-
propriate from $3.50, 10000 to
ST SOC, ,O00, 900 for the North At
|lantic countries for the year start
ing July l.
About $500,000, 900 more would
be set aside for Greece. Turkey
and Iran and any other friendly
country whose security was be-
|lieved essential to the United
States.
Western European diplomats
are reported to have suggested
that any American rearmament
program should last at least three
years to assure security under the
North Atlantic Pact.
No Estimate Of Time.
Government officials working on
the program. however. shied away
from making any estimate about
the programs length.
They said they are waiting for
the military leaders Of the coun-
tries involved to look over the
defense picture as a whole and
outline their needs.
The French Army Chief of
Staff. Gen. Georges Revers. ar
rived yesterday from Paris to
tour American military camps
and to visit West Point.
But officials connected with his
trip reported he also is interested
in finding out what kind Of Amer
ican military equipment and sup
plies France can expect In the
near future.
