Luxury Ship Subsidy
Action Studied by
Justice Department

The Justice Department tried tc
determine today whether the Gov
ernment should file suit in court
or seek legislation in Congress be-
cause of the high subsidy for the
luxury liner United States.
The departments study resulted
from an order by President Tru-
man yesterday. The President
directed Attorney General Nc
Granery to find whether the Gov
ernment is paying too much to-
ward the cost of the ship.
The order came only few hours
after the Maritime AdminiStra-
ton turned over the vessel to the
United States Lines. Under a 1949
contract the Government pays at
least $42 million and the company
$28 million of the construction
cost. The size of the Govern
ment's subsidy has been attacked
by Controller General Lindsay C.
Warren and others as much too
generous.
Truman Orders Action.
"It would seem advisable" Pres
ident Truman wrote the Attorney
General, Ito consider steps that
should now be taken to protect the
Governments rightful interest.
Accordingly, I request that you de-
termine what legal action should
be taken by the Government.
The clearly desirable objective of
promoting an adequate merchant
marine cannot be used to condone
the allowance Of excessive subsi-
dies to individual ship operators. -
The President added that if the
Justice Department finds that
can be done under exist
ing law it should consider the
kind of legislation that could be
recommended for this purpose"
The liner is scheduled for her
maiden voyage to England July 3
with 1000 passengers including
Miss Margaret Truman, and Mrs.
Drucie Snyder Horton. daughter
of the Secretary of the Treasury.
The ship left Norfolk today for
New York.
Controller General Warren, who
has long criticized the subsidy ar
for the S. S. United
said: Il am pleased and
in strong accord with the letter
of the President to the Attorney
General and stand ready to con-
fer with the Attorney General at

For Isolated treas
Dial-a-Nunber
Radio Phones

NEWEST WRINKLE in rural
radio-telephone equipment is the
radio-link system pictured below
that features automatic dial service
for 10 party-line subscribers in .
somewhat isolated farm community
of Virginia. The equipment was de-
signed and installed by REA and
was integrated into the REA-
financed system of the phone COM
pany. Entire system, including the
radio-link is automatic; the COM
pany has no operator.
The equipment includes two ex-
perimental fixed stations that bridge
an area where it is not considered
economically feasible to provide
wire service. Ten families in the
community are connected on party
line that terminates in an automatic
radio station including both receiv-
ing and transmitting equipment
This station uses beam antennaes
to shoot the conversation to the
company's unattended dial exchange
on the main line some 10 air miles
away.
Subscribers use regular phone
equipment and pay So a month for
service from their 10-party line, the
same as other subscribers of the
company. REA engineers stress the
point that this is experimental equip
ment. They hope it will help pro-
vide an answer to the problem Of
phone service for sparsely settled or
inaccessible areas, but the facts are
yet to he determined. Experimental
equipment is also being installed by
