Georgia Under Fire

Georgia is one of the Southern States whose leaders
say will never consent TO dcScgregaed schools Up to
last week Georgia had not actually had to face court
ruling which prohibited its barring OF Negro students Now
that Federal judge has laid down ruling barring race
for refusing to admit qualified Negro students
to Georgias state colleges Georgia has answered by
pending all applications for admission
Gcorga's white youth planning to prepare for their
future must remain out of college at any Georgia
school which refuses to admit Negroes, since any such
school must close its doors
OF course the ruling will be appealed all the way to the
United States Supreme Court although the Georgia auhori
ties are we'll aware of what the final will be.
This is merely DELAYING tactic But, recently
pointed out by column in contemporary newspaper the
South will eventually run out of tricks.

An American Fleet That Never Sails

You may have seen it while driving along the
IL fatlandS Of Virginia'S T1dewater Peninsula. And
II you have, you haven't forgotten.
Long before you know what it is, the sight is
mpressive-a low-slung skyline of spires and stacks
James River.
From a great distance it Is easy to conjure up
strange and contrasting visions of mosques and
minarets of bustling industries, Of mighty armadas
But illusions Of the exotic East cannot long survive
in Virginia swampland, and closer inspection
reveals neither hustle nor industry There are
smokestacks, but smoke.
When you draw even nearer, you realize the
image Of an armada is not too far from the truth.
For this striking sight is collection Of masts and
superstructures and hulls-a of silent ships.
It's "mothball" feet, one Of the largest in the
world and the biggest of eight maintained by the
Maritime Administration on the Atlantic, Pacific
and Gulf coasts
At the end of World War H. the administra-
ton found itself in possession of thousands Of
sels mostly Liberty Victory ships that were built
to meet wartime needs. SuperfluouS in peacetime,
they were preserved for another emergency the
National Defense Reserve Fleets
The James River fleet includes 800 vessels of
varying sizes and descriptions lined up bow and
ships flank the channel of the James and secured
other by anchor chains.
The Maritime Administration had trouble find
ing suitable sites for its ships (they had to
be in deep water, yet clear of traffic and out of
currents and tdes). It finally settled the James

master Of 10 to IA GIVE lost exact COUNT, and
they're all pretty much alike to me-"
The James River Fleet has existed since the
end Of World War I. When the second World War
came, only few vessels were left. Then, when
Capt. Falon took charge about 10 years ago, the
fleet had built up to 720 ships More than half have
since been sold.
OF those remaining 81 reserved as carriers
Throughout the National Defense Fleets there
$500. The Maritime Administration reports that it
costs about 500 Excluding underwater protection
COSTS to preserve the average-size Liberty ship.
Annual maintenance runs around 81 500
Interiors of the vessels are preserved by appN-
cations Of oil and grease. Exteriors are coated,
and portions Of hulls under the water are given
Cathode protection which neutrazes the corroding
action of water on metal
Capt Fallon says the Cathode protection is
continuous, but that engines are turned over"
every four years and machinery twice year. Decks
are cleaned every two years and water lines twice
year.
Rocking gently in the James, the well-tended
vessels offer startling color contrasts Some are
smooth and gray others, red or pink.
THAT doesn't mean they're rusting," Capt.
Fallon cautions. "They painted red originally,
and some are fading or peeling it's true can see
where some people might think that's rust, but it's
not so.
Lord knows, we all hope they never have to
be used, but the time came, those ships out there
could be put into commission quickly enough. All
we would need are people qualified to run them"
