Army Moy Increase Cargo Shipments
Passing Through Boston Base e@

pleased to advise you that there
are no plans to discontinue the
movement of Army cargo
through Boston Army Base and
specifically berth No. 8. 1t is
anticipated that rate favorable
cargo will move through the
Port of Boston in approximately
the same volume as 1t has in
the past. This volume may even
be increased to a certain degree
depending upon common point
cargo. I am sure you can ap-
preciate that during the course
of the strike an embargo was
placed on cargo shipped through
both the Boston and New York
ports. AS a result of the settle
ment of this strike, it may be
anticipated that cargo will again
move through the Port of Bos-
ton as indicated above. Your
continued interest in the utili-
zation of Boston for the move
ment of Army cargo is sincere
ly appreciated and you may be
assured that the Department of
the Army will insofar as possible
utilize this port for the ship
ment of rate favorable and
common point cargo consistent
with military requirements"
The guardian., 1951-12-01

A possible increase in the
amount of Army cargo handled
through the Boston Army Base
has been indicated by the De-
partment of the Army.
Asked for an answer to re-
ports that Army cargo might
be diverted from Boston, an
Army spokesman said: ut is an
ticipated that rate favorable
cargo will move through the
Port of Boston in approximately
the same volume as it has in
the past. This volume may
even be increased to a certain
degree depending upon common
point cargo"
The query was sent by tele-
gram to Army authorities by
State Senator John E. Powers
and Congressman John w. Nc
Cormack of South Boston.
There was some doubt ex-
pressed prior to sending the
telegram TO the Army that ship
ping would be resumed through
the Boston Base following the
longshoremen's strike. The re-
ply from the Department was
assurance that this is not con-
templated.
