Then Lucas proposed that the
detention feature be added to the

Ship owners, by transferring their
vessels to that flag, save about IA

wage foreign crews. They save on
food bills and on working condi-

oration and personal income taxes.

never enter Panamanian ports,
there is no inspection and enforce

American owners operate about
1000 foreign flag vessels today.
That's just about 200 short of the
whole American fleet. Sen. War
rem Magnuson Cd, WASH has a
bill up which would stop transfers,
but at hearings on the measure
the shipowners yelled that would
be an infringement on their indi-
vidual rights.
Eight unwilling men are still
aboard the SIS Chispa, travelling
somewhere around Cochin, Mar
migao, or Bedibunder, India. They
ask that American maritime unions
step in. They have sent letter
halfway across the world for help.
The Int'l Transportworkers Fed
Grafton is investigating. Meanwhile,
that union plus all other CIO, AFL,
and Independent maritime unions
are fighting for legislation that
will ban the transfer of American
ships.
