Heading: Jurisdiction over Certain Petitioners.

Text: 64 Two of the petitioners 17 contend that they are not subject to the order since on the date of that order neither of them was a common carrier by water engaged in the foreign commerce of the United States. One petitioner contends that it terminated all service with the United States in November 1959, while the other contends it terminated service in February 1960. 65 Assuming arguendo that these petitioners would not be subject to the Board's order if they had permanently terminated their service to or from the United States before April 11, 1960, this court has nothing before it to show such termination other than declarations of petitioners in their briefs. This clearly seems to be a matter upon which evidence should be taken to determine the nature ahd extent of the cessation of these petitioners' activities. Consequently, on remand these petitioners should bring their contentions before the Board so it can have the opportunity to pass upon this issue in the light of an adequate factual record which can be then made. 66 We consider it unnecessary to consider the other contentions raised by the petitioners at this time. 67 Order vacated. 68
