U. S. Facing $500 Million Loss
In Suez-Inspired SuPertonkers
By ROBERT E. CLARK
Star stan Writer

The supertanker feet launched
with official fanfare as one Of
Americas answers to the 1856
Suez crisis is sinking in a sea
of financial troubles. The SAL
wage operation may cost the
Government 5000 million.
The queen Of the American
tanker feet, the 65.000-ton
(deadweight) National Defend
er, hasn't left her dock at New
port News. Va, since her shake
down cruise last fall. Like the
other super sized tankers built
with Government-backed mort
cages, she has been unable to
compete with the ships of such
seafaring competitors Of the
United States as Greece, Britain
and Norway that operate at
half her cost.
The National Defender, which
has a swimming pool and air
conditioned quarters for her
crew and which can carry oil
more cheaply than any other
American ship, cost SIG million.
If her owners can't keep up the
payments-and they warn this
moment is fast approaching
the Government will be left
holding a SIC million tab.
Subsidies Criticized
The mutual plight of the
supertankers and the Maritime
Administration, which holds
their mortgages. has stirred
both the sympathetic and crit
ical interest in Congress. It
has also revived criticism Of |
this country's costly policy Of
substituting a merchant feet at
taxpayer expense and pro-
voked charges Of "favoritiSm"
within the shipping industry.
The owners Of IA supertank-
ers built under a Suez-inspired |
program have formed them
selves into the Committee Of |
American Tanker Owners and
are pressuring Congress and the
administration to bail them out
Of their troubles. The Govern
ment holds mortgages totaling
5000 million on the IA ships,
including the National Defen-
der.
Most Of the vessels are either
laid up or losing heavily every
day they remain in operation.
The owners warn that most
Of them are on the verge of
bankruptcy. They want the
Government to take over their
payments to the banks which
put up the money to build the
ships. Otherwise, they argue.
the banks will foreclose and the
Government will have to pay
the full 5000 million.
The Maritime Administration
generally agrees with the own
ers. With a continuing need |
for tanker capacity against the |
threat of a national emergency,
it wants to keep the ships in
operation. Chairman Magnu-
son Of the Senate Commerce
Committee is sympathetic too.
He is sponsoring a bin which |
would permit the Government
to make the payments on the
supertankers for the owners.
The chief criticism of this
plan is the argument that the
Government would be pouring
good money after bad. There
has been a worldwide recess
sion in the shipping industry
for three years. There are
currently nearly 1000 more
tankers in the world than
needed to supply present Oil
needs. Most experts agree

Clothes
I asked Miss Davis what
she did about clothes and
grooming on her tour of one
night stands.
Il had a duty to arrive
looking my BEST" she replied.
And this was a challenge.
Everything had to fit in the
luggage compartment of our
car because we had a chauf-
feur and maid in front. I
never could have managed so
well without careful plan
ming. The big thing in travel
ing is to limit your colorS so
you can interchange your ac-
ceSSorieS and organize your
luggage, for when you are
so constantly on the go you
never completely unpack."
What about your hair
and nailS?"
II have always done my
own hair-everything except
permanents. Grooming is a
bore!" she exclaimed as she
crossed the room for another
cigarette. But you have to
do it. My daughter and I do
our nails together. I try to
make it fun"
Before I left we talked of
age and she said rather
criSply, ITO place emphasis
on the shell of youth is a
terrible sign of immaturity.
What is inside you is on your
face at so. 1 think one can
look older with a lifted face,
with the tired eyes and all the
marks of living erased. Mr..
Sandburg has a youthfulneSs
and charm at 80 that is un-
believable. He doesn't try to
be young. He is too busy liv-
ing and creating to think
about growing old"

SCAMP
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: A recent issue of
a leading newsmagazine car
ried a story about a British
woman who had a morbid fear
of cats. Things got so bad with
the poor woman that she liter
ally could not walk within 10
yards of the creatures, could
not tolerate any kind of fur
coat or wrap "a dreadful plight
for woman) and finally could
not even look at pictures Of
kittens. She was cured, thanks
to a new therapy-but the story
started me thinking about the
name for this particular pho
bia. My dictionary has proven
no help at all, so I turn to you.
Don't let me turn into a logo
phobe. Tell me: What IS the
word for fear of cats?-L. M.
p, Paterson, N. ].
Answer: "Ailuroptlobia" is
the most generally used term
for unreasoning or morbid fear
of cats. Stedman's Medical
Dictionary also lists "gato-
phobia" CHATS correct; spelled
with a "g'), but there seems
to be no other record of this
particular form.

Opening lead: King of clubs.
Here's a squeeze that the
children love, but it would give
a real bridge player the heeby-
jeebies.
West leads the king and
queen of clubs, and East sig
nails enthusiastically with the
jack and then the five. West
obediently leads the ace Of
clubs at the third trick.
Just watch this, children"
you say. Dummy ruffs with
the ten of hearts, and East
overruffs with the jack. Now
South needs the rest of the
tricks.
Spade Return
East returns the queen of

Of spades and ruffs a spade.
This leaves East with the only
spade stopper.
South runs the rest of his
trumps, discarding a diamond
from dummy. When all hands
come down to three cards. East
cannot save three diamonds
and also the jack Of spades. II
East discards the spade, dunn
my's last spade is good: and if
East discards a diamond, South
gets three diamond tricks.
This kind of squeeze is poison
to a bridge player. It's sheer
luck that East has the only
spade stopper and the only dia-
mond stopper, so the squeeze is
just a lucky accident.
The hand is unbeatable If
you you just play it correctly.

Women Now Comprise
Nearly Half Of
| u. S. News Staff

Nelly Bly,, that daring young
girl reporter of 1888 who plodded
around the world in Y days to
eclipse the record of Phineas Fogg,
hero of Jules Verne's best-seller,
was just a pretty piker compared
with today's jet-traveling news
woman.
But as the nations first lady
journalist to represent the New
York World, Nellie must be SEN
timentally honored as the deter
mined torchbearer for a legion OF
feminine news writer's who have
fought their way into newspaper
acclaim during the last few de-
cades. Each year these confident
and talented women are building
bigger names for themselves in
this profession where once their
presence excited only profanity
from hard-boiled and, of course,
only male city editors. They have
got it made as equals-or better
of many newsmen in the business
today.
The federal census takers sur
prisingly can point out that nearly
half-28,595 out of 60,750-of the
editors and reporters in the United
States are women.
More women are graduating
from journalism schools every
year. They received 80 per cent of
the journalism degrees conferred
in 1859, and they started work at
an average salary of $71.50 a week,
only slightly less that than the
SIS average for male graduates of
such schools.
Most important, opportunities
for the educated girl with news
sense and writing skill and ability
to meet people at all levels are
expanding in what once were news
paper areas restricted to men.
It's still an irrevocable rule to-
day that a woman, no matter how
charming, can't just Sidle up to a
major assignment or beat. She has
to show exceptional ability to get
ahead as a foreign correspondent,
a political or financial analyst or
cOlumnist, or a crime reporter. But
more and more of them are sue
ceeding. The bylines on the front
pages of any metropolitan daily
offer proof.
The majc" wire erVices-AsSoc-
lated Press and United Press In
men to beats of such stature as
the US. Supreme Court and to
foreign news bureaus from hot
and-cold Moscow to La Paz, Bo-
livia.
Big metropolitan papers send
star women reporters to cover the
STATE legislatures and interview
touring international dign' taries,
or even cover such sports events
az the Kentucky Derby or heavy
weight championship boxing boIts.
Many of these smartly-coiffed jour-
nalists are assigned to major Grim
inal trials or United Nations ses-
siOns.
On the small city papers, and in
the more remote wire service
bureaus, women reporters cover
everything from weddings to elect
ions to kidnapings or floods. And
they learn to dig the facts swiftly
and write them accurately again
st the unrelenting headlines their
papers present most days of the
publishing year.

Better Meal Serving
is Now An Art

Serving ia mily or company
meals is more rewarding when
you know you're doing it right.
But, if you doubt your confidence,
here's something that can help
you. Its a table service correspon-
dence course.
Fred C. Snyder, chairman, Cor
respondence Courses, the Penn
sylania State University, explains
it's a refresher course for the
seasoned homemaker and detailed
enough for the young bride.
A favorite lesson of many
women, who have completed the
course, is on the care and selec-
ton of table linens, china, glass,
and silver. Stain removal from
linens, types of dinnerware, and
table decoration suggestions are
discussed in other lessons.
A common-sense viewpoint is
taken in the discussion of table
etiquette and this lesson can be
a helpful way to interest children
in table manners.
