@ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, December 12, 1963 - Few American | Flag Ships On» Great Lakes WASHINGTON (CP)--A lack) of U.S.-flag ships on the Great Lakes is inhibiting St. Lawrence! Seaway traffic growth, a spe-| cial Senate subcommittee was told Wednesday. | Two U.S. government wit-! nesses testified that under American law most military and subsidized food cargoes must be carried in American bottoms. If these carriers are not available on the Great Lakes, the government must look elsewhere. "There are very few Ameri- can-flag ships serving the Great Lakes," said Vincent Caputo. defence department transport policy director. "These ships cannot offer very frequent sail- ings to the various areas to which military cargo is sent." Caputo argued that the Pen- tagon is making the maximum use of the seaway under exist- ing circumstances -- and so far has saved at least $500,000 in transport costs. He cautioned shippers against depending too heavily on the Pentagon for sea- way traffic. However, if Great Lakes ports "could attract more commer- cial cargo for Ameican ship- ping, including cargo now car- ried on foreign-flag vessels, the number of American ships sail- ing from the lakes would un- doubtedly increase," he said. WOULD INCREASE CHANCES "Increased American flag service would give increased op- portunity to move defence car- through Great Lakes ports." Kenneth Ogren of the agricul-/ ture department's research service said Ameican food) give-away programs also must be carried in American ships. "Thus, expansion of ship- ments may. be inhibited by the limited availability of U.S.-flag| shipping services to destinations) in areas of the world where! U.S. government food cargoes are the largest -- the Medite- ranean, Middle East. and the Far East,"' Ogren said. About one-half the value of all U.S. agricultural production originates in regions described by Ogren as the hinterland of the seaway route. But the great toll-free Mississippi waterway penetrates deep into traffic areas which otherwise would be attracted to the seaway. This, in effect, substantially reduces the seaway's ability to draw American {inland traffic, he said Another factor Is that ocean freight rates generally are higher for Euopean' destina- tions by way of the St. Law- ence Seaway than from Atlan- tie or Gulf of Mexico ports. This tends to reduce the distance in- land from which it is economi- cal to route exports via the sea- way, Ogren said. The subcommittee is investi- gating charges that U.S. rail rates and other "inequities" are designed to favor inland traffic to the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts rather than to the Great Lake and seaway. Put New Plant At South Bend Chrysler Told DETROIT (AP)--The United Auto Workers Union urged Chrysler Corporation Wednes- day to locate a proposed IIli- nois assembly plant at South Bend, Ind., whee Studebaker Corporation is shutting down auto production. The UAW also called on Chrysler to give laid off Stude- baker workers "preferential hir- ing nights."' Studebake announced Mon- day it would halt auto assembly operations at South Bend and henceforth make its cars at Hamilton, Ont. Some 6,000 hourly rated Studebaker work- ers at South Bend will be made idle. Chrysler recently disclosed plans to construct an assembly plant at Belvidere, Ill.
