Savannah
Use asCombaf
Ship Proposed
By the Associated Press

The atomic powered mer-
chant ship Savannah might be
useful as a supplies replenish-
ment ship in a naval nuclear
task force if the Navy wer to
take over the vessel as sug-
gested by q House committee
chairman.
But some Navy men doubt
that the Savannah's design and
construction could make it
adaptable as a combatant
ship. except for possible use
as a Polaris missile launcher.
Representative Bonner, Dem
ocrat Of North Carolina, chair
man Of the House Merchant
Marine Committee, said yester-
day he had written Secretary
Of the Navy Korth, asking that
he consider the possibility of
transferring the Savannah
from the Maritime Administra-
ton to the Navy, where she
might serve a useful purpose. /"
Labor troubles apparently

Mr.. Bonner told Mr.. .Korth
that the engineering crew of
the Savannah, trained at Gov
eminent expense, has used its
special skills to negotiate wages

Of the Savannah size.
Until Mr.. Korth has studied
Mr.. Bonner's letter, he had no
comment on Mr.. Bonner's Sug-
gestion.
1t is the first official sug-
gestion since the Savannah was
built that the Navy run the
