Transition Piece This strange-looking object is called a Transi-tion Piece. Fabricated in our shops for Hudson Pulp & Paper Company, it works like a giant funnel. Logs drop into it from a conveyor belt, and are gravity-fed through the hole into a chipper, which turns logs into chips in seconds.

From ships to chips is an easy transition for the versatile crew at Merrill-Stevens. The Industrial Division of this modern, well-equipped yard handles a wide range of diversi-fied fabricating, repairing, and manufacturing jobs for industrial concerns all over North Florida and South Georgia. Inquiries invited.

EDITOR'S COMMENTS:

Jacksonville Trade Mart Increasing

Its Service to Local, Foreign Firms

T HE Jackson ville Iniernaiional Trade Mart rendered individual assistance to 83 business firms during April,

including thirty-eight out-of-town and foreign visitors.

Tw enty-nine firms called at the Trade Mart seeking assistance in their export programs, w hile sixteen inquired regard-ing imports.

The greatest volum e of assistance was requested b y firms interested in the im-port of building materials. Six firms asked and received assistance from David A. Howard and Ed W ilk, a Trade Mart tenants who had been assisting in accom m odating the persons w riting in or ca lling to the Trade Mart.

Four firms were interested in the manu-facture of wood products, three in the im-port of e lectrical m achinery and parts and one each in the import of v egetab le fibres, textiles and m ineral products.

The out-of-town and foreign visitors were prim arily interested in view ing lo-ca lly produced products av ailab le for e x -port or learning the names of local mer-chants and w holesalers who could supply them with their needs.

A third of the fifteen export inquiries concerned m edicinal and pharm aceutical products. This reflects the great interest in the shipment of these goods to the C aribbean and Latin-Am erica b y air cargo.

Three inquiries were concerning sources of supply for generating m achinery and equipm ent and two were for e lectrical m achinery and parts- The other export inquiries were concerning wood m anu-facturers, paper products, Florida minerals and build ing materials.

Howard said that with the developm ent of exhibits and m erchandise d isplay rooms

at the Trade Mart and the receipt here of more m erchandise samples from foreign m anufacturers, it is expected that the traf-fic in and out of the Trade Mart and ihe num ber of inquiries handled each month w ill rise sharply. At the present, all in -quiries are b eing handled b y him and W ilk on a volunteer basis. The Trade Mart Board of Directors w ill supply a staff m ember for this purpose in ihe near future.

Overseas Women Assisting Mart

T RADE MARTS in this country had better start stepping liv e ly — the Jack so n v ille International T r a d e

M arl has found a secret weapon.W hat started out as a good deed m ay

grow into an international snow ball that w ill b lanket the world w ith good news about the Jack son v ille mart.

The mart is new enough so that there has been some confusion about just what services it supplies. For exam ple, the phone rang and the ca ller was a harried Jack so n v ille woman who had just adopted a small Korean child. W here would she turn to find someone who could talk with ihe child in its n ative language for the first few d ays?

This was not one of the services the mart provides, but in a burst of reorgan-ized enthusiasm , staffer Mrs. Dorothy Johnson and the mart rose to the occasion.

Mrs. Johnson contacted Mrs. Norman R. Brueske, president of the Jack son v ille O verseas W om an's C lub, who recruited the interpreter.

A ll 75 of the women who belong to th overseas club have come to Jackson vill from other countries.

Mrs. Brueske asked Mrs. Johnson if ther w ere any other services the club couL provide for the trade mart.

In this short time there have been se-v eral things, including the translation c h ig h ly technical letters into foreign lane uages for m ailings from the mart, w hic the ladies have done.

Mrs. Brueske, who hails from Londoi and three other club members spent mor than an hour at the mart to find out hoi th ey can assist at an open house sch( duled Ju n e 15. Plans call for the clu members dressed in costumes of their n< tive countries, to act as hostess for th affair. Tw enty-one nationalities are repr< sented in the club, w hich was organize two years ago.

"W e want to help the trade mart i ev ery w ay we can ," said Mrs. Brueske.

W h y are they so anxious to help?"W e w ant to put down roots here. W

are new to Jack so n v ille and so is the trad mart. M aybe we can grow together," sai Mrs. Brueske.

"This trade mart is a new product 1 help further com m erce in Jackson ville, c ity in w hich we b e lie v e ," said petite an pretty Mrs. John W . Strickland, who w< born in Japan.

O ther club members include Mrs. Wa ter C. Rawls Jr., orig inally of England, an Mrs. Frederick L. M urphy, who was boiin Cuba. Mrs. M urphy has already put i a stint for the mart translating letters fro English into Spanish. Mrs. Brueske sa: most of the club members are housewive

Alabama Bankers Take Caribbean Cruise Aboard SS Bergensfjord From Jacksonville

T HE MS Bergensfjord of the Nor-w egian Am erican Line, one of fhe world's best known and liked cruise

vessels, docked in Jack so n v ille A pril 30 at M unicipal Docks and Terminals.

Jule A. Kaufmann, of Kaufmann Ship-ping Company, agent, was host at a cock-tail party g iven aboard the vessel, in honor of her first call to Jack son ville .

The interior of the Bergensfjord can match that of any of its larger sister ships. Built in 1956, all of her staterooms have toilet and most have tub baths or shower facilities, along w ith airconditioning with fingertip control.

The vessel is 578 feet in length, 72 feet in breath with a tonnage of 18,739 gross tons, and has speed up to 20 knots. The liner's stabilizers insure a smooth trip.

The Bergensfjord is said to have one of the largest sports decks afloat, including two swimming pools, that w ere en joyed b y the A labam a Bankers A ssociation who boarded her in Jack so n v ille for a seven day convention to S a n J u a n and St. Thomas.

She w ill accom m odate up to 890 pas-sengers and carries a crew of over 350.

Ship In Regular Service Is Valued At $1,500,000 Annually to City

A single ship calling regularly at a port for one year can increase direct expenditure in the port b y

more than $1,500,000 annually, the NewEngland W orld Trade W eek Conference was told here b y Ralph E. Casey, Presi-dent of the Am erican M erchant M arine Institute.

C asey spoke on "The Role of the M odern Seaport in Industrial D ev elop -m ent” at a panel discussion held in the Sheraton Plaza Hotel. Pointing out the close interdependence of port and indus-trial developm ent, he said that a prim ary responsibility of port authorities was the twofold task of convin cing "each in d iv i-dual industry in the immediate area of the im portance of the port to its overall success" and of keeping national, state, and local governm ents aware of the problems involved in port developm ent "to grow and keep pace w ith the national econom y."

Shipping, he said, "is not only all- important to a port area but it is v ita lly concerned w ith the growth and activ ity of the port." He noted that U.S. w ater-borne trade had increased in the past decade b y 27.7 percent, to a 1959 total of 935,114,400 long ions. Some ideas of what the over-lhe-dock m ovem ent of this com m erce means to the econom y of the port areas through w hich it passes is in -dicated, he added, b y figures on direct revenue generated b y sp ecific categories of cargo.

D irect dollar expenditure produced b y the loading or unloading of a single long ton is as follow s, for the classifica-tions ind icated : general cargo, $15.51; crude oil, inclu ding refining, $10.50; tan-ker cargo, other than crude oil, $3.60; coal, $2.48; grain, $5.80; ore, $2.88; raw sugar, including refining, $44.91.

Can Ships Run

With Automation

In IS ear luture?

T HE M aritim e Adm inistration, U. S Department of Commerce, has em barked on the first step of a long

range program to investigate the possibi lities of application of automation tc Am erican m erchant ships, it was announc ed b y Rear Admiral W alter C. Ford, Aclinc Maritime Adm inistrator, U. $. Departmen of Commerce.

The M aritim e Adm inistration announce ment covered the award of a study con tract to the Norden D ivision of Unitec A ircraft Corporation, Stamford, Connecti cut, to investigate and suggest solution to problem s involved in the instrumenta tion and m echanization of merchant ship to operate autom atically-

Id eally , an autom atically operated mei chant ship is visualized as one that couli sail w ithout the services of its crew fror the point w here the pilot is dropped as i clears the harbor outbound to the poin w here the pilot boards the ship at its poi of destination. Such a ship must be capabl of self-sustained, unm anned operation fo at least 30 days w ithout any maintenance and for at least 90 days with only mine m aintenance.

The M aritim e Adm inistration has stress ed its com plete awareness of the majc sociological aspects involved in any mov toward autom ation of ships, and a quali fied labor expert w ill constitute one c those who w ill study the far-reaching irr p lications of automation. The Maritim Adm inistration also recognizes the fac that any m ove toward automation must b made over an extended period with thorough sense of responsibility towar labor.

Talk About Paint - - A Ship Uses I t !!

W HEN ihe Socony M obil O il Co. tanker S.S. MOBIL AERO was dry- docked at M errill-Stevens D r y

D ock & Repair Co. recently , the work schedule included painting of the 641' long ship's hull exterior.

Almost 1100 gallons of paint were used on the ship, with approxim ate breakdow n as follow s:

From keel to light load line required 390 gallons of Aluminum Primer and 260 gallons of A nti-fouling paint.

From the light load line to the deep load line required 50 gallons of Red Lead for a spot and stripe coat and 160 gallons of Booltop for full coat.

From the deep load line to rail took 60 gallons of Red Lead for spot and stripe coat, and 150 gallons of Hull Black for the fin ish coat.

Tw enty gallons of A nti-G alvanic paint was used on the stern area and eight gal-lons of special p lastic paint applied to the rudder.

The p lastic paint was b ein g tested by the Socony com pany to com pare it with results obtained with the anti-galvanic paint under sim ilar conditions.

V esse l to b e S o l d• The supply officer at the N avy Carrier Basin, M ayport, Florida, announced to the Propeller C lub on A pril 29 that the Navy would soon offer the ARL-13 warehouse ship for sale.

Movement of missiles and rockets to Cape Canaveral is seriously threatened by lower bridge clearances. Note the special warning antenna which will alert driver be­fore the rocket can be damaged.

COMMON TO ALL

Inadequate Bridges H am per All Transportation in U. S.

wrp HEIR liv es are in jeopardy-”Those simple words were once used b y a negro schoolteacher

appealing to her county commission to build a new bridge over a creek w hich her students had to cross to reach the little one-room school building.

The same words tersely summarize the technical and econom ic arguments ad-vanced b y w ater and truck carriers when they appear before governm ental agen-cies to discuss the critical problem of bridge clearances. The problem is not unique to the truck and w ater carriers as the airlines are faced b y the problem of outmoded runways and term inals and even the railroads w ere d elayed in inau-gurating p iggy-back service to the South-east because of restricted tunnels in Balti-more.

"The life of the nation itself is in jeopard y,” in the eyes of Armlon Leonard of Miami, president of Leonard Brothers Transfer Com pany and a principal hauler of missiles and rockets from factories around the country to launching pads at Cape Canaveral.

Leonard presented the arguments of the highw ay hauling industry at a special hearing before the House of Public W orks Committee in W ashington. Barge opera-tors fight the battle endlessly w henever

anyone seeks to build a new bridge or road over a n av ig ab le w aterw ay. Few builders of bridges have ad equately fore-seen the needs of the future and provided satisfactory clearan ce in their structures. The general v iew is to hold down the cost of the bridge w ithout regard to future needs.

Leonard Brothers Transfer, w hich oper-ates in 41 states, is a m ajor hauler of over-dim ension o b jects such as the Atlas and Titan m issiles, aircraft parts and engines, e lectric generators and trans-formers, boats, barges, dredges, road build ing m achinery equipm ent boilers, naval guns, etc. The com pany is the only

one w hich has issued a recognized man- uel for drivers dealing w ith the handling of giant missiles.

Most Dangerous Hazard"I can state u n eq u ivo cab ly ,” Leonarc

said, "that the most dangerous hazard ir m oving large and extensive equipm en are the inadequate highw ays, low rail road bridges and cross-road overpasse, w ith unrealistic clearances over the high w ays of our land.

"Chinese W all""A s our m ilitary and econom ic powe

WJXT Produces Half-Hour DocumentaryGrowing Pains99Film On 66A Port W ith

A criiical look at the port of Jack son -v ille , its people, and its potential introduced W JX T 's Public Affairs

series "Project 4," Friday, April 15, on Channel Four, Jackson ville.

"A Port W ith Growing Pains" described the impact of shipping on the econom y of the Jackson ville area and stated that how the city grows in the last half of the century w ill depend in large measure on how it develops its access to the Atlantic O cean.

The program pointed to progress not

T'S the principal of the thing.That and that alone is the point of contention in a protest filed b y the

American W aterw ays operators to a pro- oosed rate reduction b y the New York Jen lral Railroad.

The protest was made to the Inter-state Commerce Commission over propos- sd contract rates w hich the New York Jentral would make for carrying m gs ind carpeting from Amsterdam, N.Y., to Jhicago.

Although barge lines never have parti- :ipafed in this freight movem ent and rever expect to, the A W O said that the ate would "put the w ater carriers out of jusiness."

The proposed contract provides for 155 :enfs per 100 pounds, minimum 30,000 >ounds, and a rate of 125 cents on the imount in excess of the minimum, sub- ect to the conditions that the shipper :onlract to move 80% of his traffic in a [2 month period v ia the railroad and

only in the Jack so n v ille harbor, but by the com peting ports of Tampa, Savannah, and Port Everglades and outlined Ja c k -sonville 's position among the m ajor ports of the Southeast. It also indicated certain needs of the port that must be pursued to put Jack so n v ille ahead of its com -petitors.

furnish an indem nity bond for the p ay -ment of a h igher non-contract rate in the event he fails to m eet contract provisions.

Counsel for A W O subm itted an exh ib it show ing that 82.17% of the barge traffic handled in 1958 was made up of on ly 10 com m odity groups. Three of these (bitu-minous coal, m anufactured iron, and steel, and corn, oats and soybeans) accounted for 53.47 percent of the total traffic. There-fore, counsel argued, railroads would have to publish only a re la tiv e ly few contracts rates to obtain a m onopoly on these com modities.

A W O pointed out that the proposed railroad contract rates v iolate the Elkins Act and contem plate a railroad m onoply w hich could be a v iolation of the Sher-man Anti-Trust Law.

The railroad claim ed that such rate m aking is necessary if the railroad is to absorb its passenger deficits and meet its constant costs.

T HE rapid developm ent of Florida ports and its w aterborne com m erce during recent y ears is introducing

Florida businessm en to a w hole new w ay of thinking about transportation and a new vocabu lary with w hich they must becom e familiar.

W ithin recent years, a citrus process-ing plant at Bradenton has becom e an active operator of steamship vessels.

An e lectric com pany and a chem ical industry in the Tampa area have becom e part owners of steamship, barge and tow boat businesses.

A west Florida attorney has becom e a principal in a ship repair yard and a scrap iron operation.

A North Carolina trucker is very active in the steamship business out of three Florida ports.

In Miami, an international construction firm is operating cargo vessels into the Caribbean. A cem ent com pany runs its own vessels betw een Fort Pierce and Freeport in the Bahamas.

As more and more Floridians becom e involved in the steamship and w aterw ay industry, they must fam iliarize them -selves with such terms as "b erth s" or "lin er .serv ice ," "ch arter parties," "space charters," "tim e charters," "b are boat charters," "tram p" and "irregular ser-v ices."

Failure to understand these terms can place anyone at a disadvantage when discussing new opportunities for his busi-

ness. A correct understanding of fhe term inology used in the steamship busi-ness places any businessm an at a distinct advantage when he considers using eco -nom ical w ater transportation in his firm.

O ne of the first problem s encountered is the determ ination w hether the shipper can depend upon regular steamship services fo that part of the world with w hich he w ished to trade. As an Am er-ican shipper he can rest assured that there w ill continue to be adequate trans-portation at a reasonable rate provided he is shipping over what is know n as an essential trade route, 35 of w hich have been established b y the Federal Maritime Board.

It is the function of the Federal M ari-time Board to see that there are not too m any shipping com panies on one route and not enough on other routes. Public hearings are held w hen applicants pre-sent their cases to show n ecessity for operating over a particular route.

O ther com panies have equal opportu-n ity to present their cases in opposition to the applicant before fhe Federal M ari-time Board. W hen these routes are grant-ed, the applicant is required to m aintain not less than and not more than a certain num ber of sailings per year. In these various routes there is a range of ports and the shipper along the route has the assurance of the U.S. Governm ent that he can alw ays depend upon transporta-tion b eing av ailab le at a reasonable cost.

O ther terms w hich the shipper shoulc learn have been defined b y S. S. Gail lard, m anager for Lykes Lines at Tampa

BERTH TERMS: These terms im ply tha vessels p ly a certain trade route, makin< specified ports of call, carrying genera cargo at published rates. As an example a vessel is advertised to load at the port of Tampa, Houston, Galveston, to Bre men, A ntw erp, Rotterdam. Perhaps tha com pany's next sailing w ill be Mobile Lake Charles, New O rleans to LeHavre Hamburg, Rotterdam. The advertising o

sailings from poris a particular line is licensed b y the Federal M aritim e Board to serve, depends on cargo offerings and by like token the ports of d ischarge are so governed.

In the transportation of cargo under berth terms it is the obligation of the carrier to load, transport and discharge the cargo at the published rates for all commodities handled.

LOAD AND DISCHARGE: Translated into more specific terms this means that the carrier or steamship owner must em -ploy of perform the service him self of picking up the cargo at p lace of rest in the warehouse, transport it to shipside, load it on board and stow it in the vessel. At the destination the operation is re-versed— it is discharged and p laced on the terminal. Here his obligation ceases and it becom es the responsibility of the terminal com pany to make d elivery for which a handling charge is assessed. Hence, it is the moral responsibility of the carrier to em ploy terminal com panies that are reliable and com petent— physi-cally and financially— to discharge their obligation to the owner of the m erchan-dise.

CHARTER PARTY: A ship owner and the purchaser of a large amount of cargo draw up a contract w hich is in turn dandled by a ship broker. The transac-tion takes place in this m anner: The cargo interest approaches his broker wishing to make a fixture for 7,500 tons of M uriate of Potash and 2,500 tons of Sulphate of Potash. He specifies loading port as Bremen and discharge ports of Jacksonville and Tampa. He expects the broker to close the transaction at the best figure but not exceed ing a stated >um. M oreover, he wishes it to be made on an F.I.O. basis m eaning that cargo s to be loaded and discharged free of cost to the vessel. The cargo interest w ill perhaps also wish that the agent at load-ing and discharging ports to be designat-ed b y the charterer. Under this setup, the vessel w ill load at a designated berth and discharge at a berth designated b y the charterer. Under ihe F.I.O. (free in and out) the charterer w ill arrange for a stevedore of his choice and w ill negotiate a price for loading and dis-charging. In this respect, costs for such loading and d ischarging follow a rather fixed pattern as all stevedoring com-panies well know their perform ance— number of tons per hour— their overhead and profit margin required to do bu si-ness.

In this charter party, the contract b e -tween vessel ow ner and charterers, there are stipulated conditions:

That the vessel must be ready to load within a certain num ber of days— or laydays. The charterer is required to load not less than so many tons per day and discharge so many tons.

DISPATCH AND DEMURRAGE: In this Charter Party, among other things, there is a fixed amount in dollars and cents for a dispatch and fixed amount for de-murrage. The charterer is paid a pre-

mium for d ispatching the vessel ahead of the allow ed time as stipulated in the Charier Party, and he pays dem urrage or a p enalty if he fails to dispatch the vessel in the time stipulated.

Still another condition is the requ ire-ment that the charterer name a berth w here the vessel may lie afloat w hile loading or discharging. The owner makes sure that the vessel is not dam aged by failure to protect the physical structure of the vessel.

SPACE CHARTER: Here, the charter is made to lift a g iven amount of cargo, perhaps 3,500 tons on a liner or berth term vessel that is to load in the range of ports that vessel is perm itted to load or discharge. O ther factors rem ain similar to the Charter Party.

TIME CHARTER: This is an arrange-ment shown in ihe follow ing exam ple. A lcoa Steamship Com pany m ay have a vessel that can be spared from the ow ner's usual operations and States M arine Line w ishes to take it on time charter. A price is fixed and States M arine w ill p ay for fuel oil, w ater, port charges etc. These fixtures usually run for about 30 days, 60 days or perhaps for 6 to 12 months.

BAREBOAT CHARTER: This is the charter of a vessel bare of crew , fuel and provisions. The charterer pays for all items and an agreed price for the vessel only to its owner.

TRAMP, IRREGULAR OR NON LINER SERVICE: This has reference to opera-tions of ships on an unscheduled basis as cargo offers, usu ally carry ing full cargo lots, g en erally of a single bulk commo-dity, with no restricted trade limits.

CONFERENCES: A nother facet of the overall job of transportation is the es-tablishm ent of equ itab le rates for the

m ovem ent of all com modities in liner or berth term service. In the offshore or export and import trade, the various routes have established Conferences such as the Gulf-French-Atlanlic-Ham - burg Range C onference of the Gulf-M edi-terranean Ports. Foreign or Am erican flag vessels w ishing to operate on berth or lin er terms in certain trade routes can apply for adm ittance to the Conference. A ll matters of establish ing equ itable rates are brought before the C onference and once these rates are fixed all w ill abide b y them. All conferences act in simi-lar fashion to stabilize rates among all carriers.

Should a shipper or receiver find the existing rate is not quite equitable, he m ay petition the Conference for an ad-justm ent of ihe rate w ith facts to support his contention.

$46,000 Program To Sell Citrus

Israeli Consul Displays Wares

T HE stroke of a pen set in motion a $46,000 Florida citrus advertising and m erchandising pro ject in Paris,

France, and in Sweden and Denmark un-der terms of an agreem ent betw een the Florida Citrus Commission and the U. S. Governm ent at the end of April.

Frank D. Arn, director of advertising and m erchandising for the Commission, o fficially signed a seven-page docum ent w hich commits 147,310 new French francs or about $25,000 in U. S. currency to the promotion of Florida citrus, fresh and pro-cessed, in the three countries. The Com-mission, under the agreem ent, w ill sup-port this w ith an additional $21,000-

Arn said the pro ject is the first this year under provisions of Public Law 480. Last year the Commission secured $106,000 in governm ental assistance to promote Florida citrus products in Europe. He said, how ever, the new pro ject was the first U. S. financial aid ever earmarked speci-fica lly for promotion of Florida citrus products in the Scandinavia.

In Paris, Florida citrus and citrus prod-ucts w ill be promoted through use of French language new spaper and b illboard advertising, distribution of in-store dis-p lay m aterial, and citrus product sam pling in stores.

In Scandinavia, the prom otion w ill be more extensive. M oney for this area w ill be earmarked for education material, leaflets, m edical booklets and recipes on home handling, all printed in Swedish and D anish languages. Sound tracks, in the two languages, w ill be prepared for existing Commission films. These w ill be used in theatres and before large audi-ences.

Consumer incentiv e premiums w ill be introduced in the two countries as w ill printed point-of-sale d isplay m aterial.

Arn said the Commission was the only com modity prom otional group taking ad-vantage of Public Law 480 funds. O ne of the prime requirem ents for such assistance, Arn added, was that the com m odity group must have foreign representatives in the promotion area. The Commission m ain-tains two regional managers in Europe: Sven Nelson in Stockholm, and Alfred La- Rocque in Frankfurt, Germany.

F l o r i d a F r u i t

E UROPE'S Common M arket import duties pose a serious threat to Flo-rida citrus sales overseas, Homer E.

Hooks, general m anager of the Florida Citrus Commission, b eliev es.

Hooks said the U. S. State Department "can properly encourage freer trade among European countries, but it should never lose sight of its prim ary responsibi-lity to protect the interests of U. S. indus-tries.''

He said " it is absolu tely essential that our governm ent realize we must have ac-tive and aggressive representation in tariff negotiations so we w on't be shuffled out of the European market, w hich we are go-ing to need so much in high production years ahead."

He cited scheduled increases in import duties into Germ any w hich w ill double the tariff on most Florida orange ship-ments, raise the duty on canned grapefruit sections from 5 per cent to 27 per cent, change citrus oils from its present duty-free status to a tariff of 12 per cent, and raise the duty on Florida frozen con cen -trates from 15 per cent to 21 per cent.

"If these duties go into effect as planned, Florida citrus is going to be at a distinct d isadvantage in shipping to Germ any, our best market in Europe, and also to B el-gium, N etherlands, Luxem bourg, Italy , and France," Hooks com mented.

These are the so-called "Com m on M ar-ket" countries, now planning to elim inate tariff barriers betw een them selves and to agree on the same tariffs on imports from all other countries.

Hooks pointed out that elim ination of duties w ithin ihe common m arket group w ill mean that French North A frican and Italian citrus w ill be shipped duty-free to Germ any and the B enelux countries, w hile in most cases the duty on U.S. citrus will be increased.

He said Great Britain's "continu ed dis-crim ination against our grapefru it" is d e-priv ing Florida growers of an outlet for "a t least another 800,000 boxes of grape-fruit annu ally ."

Puerto Rico

Going After

Major Firms

P UERTO Rico is expected soon to bid for the "ta x h av en " business w hich has been going to other parts of

the world.

Government officials on the island are holding conferences to work out details on proposed international business corp-oration legislation w ith w hich the Puerto Rican Economic D evelopm ent Corpora-tion hopes to attract more new businesses to the island.

Proposed legislation w ill permit a cor-poration organized under Puerto Rican law for foreign trade and investm ent to be taxed at a nom inal rate on all incom e from sources outside Puerto Rico and the mainland United States. Such a corpora-tion would be free of all other Puerto Rican taxes and could in d efin itely ac-cumulate incom e there for re-investm ent.

It is expected that Puerto Rico w ill levy a five percent tax in order to gen e-rate some tax incom e for fhe island. The major advantage to a concern incorporat-ing on the island rather in one of the nation's providing tax havens elsew here is that w hile in Puerto Rico, his com -pany is included w ithin the framework of the United States legal, m onetary and mail systems.

The Economic D evelopm ent Corpora-tion has received over 450 inquiries on the subject from large corporations such as U.S. Steel, General Motors, Canada Dry and the B.F. Goodrich Company.

The original idea for this type of com -pany occurred about a year ago when Glidden International C.A. transferred operations from Nassau to Puerto Rico. Glidden's inquiries resulted in the dis-closure of existing legislation perm itting subsidiaries of foreign based interna-tional business corporations to operate there exem pt from federal and local in -come taxes on profits from foreign business.

Under existing laws, only a foreign based concern can set up a tax free subsidiary in Puerto Rico. The proposed legislation would carry the process one step further in perm itting the direct ncorporation of the international busi-ness corporation on the island.

W ithin the next three years, 59 of the tirms w hich were granted tax holidays in order to induce them to set up branches in Puerto Rico w ill reach the and of their holiday period. Eight of these 59 firms have indicated that they axpect to leav e Puerto Rico at the end of the holiday. Seven others are un-decided.

Citrus Grant

Under Attack

A reported m ulti-m illion dollar U.S. grant to the British W est Indies was termed "co m p letely rid icu l-

ous" b y Homer E. Hooks, general m ana-ger of the Florida Citrus Commission, " if any part of the m oney is going to build up the W est Indian citrus industry to our further detrim ent."

Speaking at the 26th annual m eeting of the Florida Citrus Production Credit A ssociation, Hooks said inform ation reaching him from Jam aica indicated the International Cooperation Adm inistration, a U.S. Governm ent agen cy , was com plet-ing arrangem ents for a m ulti-m illion dollar grant to the W est Indies for undis-closed purposes.

Hooks said he has asked Senator Spes- sard L. H olland for full inform ation on the circum stances and purposes of the grant.

"Th is grant m ay be en tirely proper and reasonable under our program of aid to under-developed areas," Hooks said. "But if any of this m oney is going to build up their citrus industry, I think we should protest v igorously. W est Indian governm ent officials and citrus industry leaders have for a long time m aintained strong pressure on the British to keep us from shipping grapefruit to England."

"This d iscrim ination against us b y the British actu ally helps the Israel citrus e x -porters more than it helps the W est In -dies, but still the W est Indians want it continued to keep us from having a fair chance to ship to England, w here we know there is a market for our fru it," Hooks said.

Hooks also cited another report from the W est Indies that $40,000 worth of citrus grown at a U.S. N aval base on Trinidad was buried as fertilizer because local W est Indian authorities refused to accept it even as a free donation to charity.

$36 Billion To Be Spent For Travel in 960s

A $36,000,000,000 annual market for travel in the decade of the '60's was forecast b y A m erican Express

Com pany in a manual issued last month to leading banks of the nation.

The m anual, "Banking Enters a Decade of C hange and Growth," notes this mag-nitude of travel spending is likely to have a significant effect on the growth of banking, since "bank services related to travel w ill be needed b y more people spending more m oney for more trips than ever before."

The forecast takes account of trends in both foreign and dom estic travel by Am ericans, and indicates an approxim ate-ly 65% rise w ill be reached b y or before 1969. In the m anual, Am erican Express points out that "e v e ry second person in the U nited States takes one or more trips each year for pleasure or business." The forecast expansion of travel in the d ecade of the '60's reflects an estimated 25% increase in population, a 50% rise in consum er incom es, and a 100% rise in d iscretionary consumer spending.

STUDY IS COMPLETED

65-Foot Vertical Clearance Recommended For Bridges Along Atlantic Waterways

T HE Chief of U. S. Arm y Corps of En-gineers, General Itschner, has re-vealed that the study inaugurated

in 1958 to determ ine if a change in vertical clearance criteria for bridges crossing the A tlantic Inlracoastal W aterw ay should be made has now been com pleted.

The study was made b y a special com-mission appointed b y the Chief of Engin-eers and consisting of the D i s t r i c t

Engineers of Norfolk, Savannah and Jackson ville .

G eneral Itschner testified that the report recommends 65-foot vertical clearanceabove mean high w ater for bridges cross-ing the W aterw ay betw een Norfolk and Port Everglades. The report has been ap-proved b y the three D istrict Engineers who made ihe study and b y the South A tlantic D ivision Engineer. It is su b ject to

review b y the O ffice of the Chief of En-gineers w orking in cooperation with the Bureau of P ublic Roads.

Inasm uch as the study was made under procedures approved b y the Bureau of Public Roads, there appears to be little doubt at this time that this w ill be the finding of the Corps, in spite of the fact that the Bureau of Public Roads sought a low er vertical clearance.

The effect of the finding b y the Corps of Engineers to establish a vertical clear-ance criteria of 65 feet w ill lower the criteria from the existing 80-foot require-ment. A W O in its presentation at the general bridge hearing in Jackson ville, Florida, on A pril 8, 1958, stated on behalf of the industry that 55 feet of vertical clearan ce would accom m odate the needs of the barge and tow ing vessel industry, but that in the opinion of A W O 55 feet would not be adequate to accommodate dredging and construction equipm ent w hich moves on the W aterw ay, fishing boats, and the tall-m asted pleasure craft that operate over it and that the needs of these vessels should be taken into con-sideration in any final determ ination of bridge clearances.

Council Assists

Citrus IndustryT HE Florida Ports and Foreign Trade

Council has added its support to the Florida Citrus Industry in its

leg islative program before Congress.The Council submitted statements to the

interstate Foreign Commerce Committee during A pril stating, "O n the basis of in -form ation received so far, the Florida Citrus Industry — one of the nations largest and most consistent exporters — is apparently having some considerable d ifficu lty with one or two Federal A gencies.

"W e are further inform ed that these difficulties have already resulted this year in the loss of over $4 m illion worth of export incom e and 11 /2 m illion boxes of volum e exports to Europe. It has cur-tailed the operation of some of Florida's ports, particu larly Fort P ierce, Jack son -v ille and Tampa.

"The Council stands behind the Florida Citrus Industry in their request that this situation be properly rem edied, in the interest of the N ational export expansion need, and in those of the State of Florida citizens."

The statem ent was issued through fhe assistance of Senator George Smathers.

N e w P r o p e l l e r M e m b e rs• The Propeller Club of Jack so n v ille re-ceiv ed six new members during the past month.

Machine-m ade splices.

Complete Rigging Service AvailableT HE M arine and Indusirial R igging

Service of Tampa, one of Florida's most com plete rigging shops now

offers the South overnight service on wire rope fabrication and rigging, w hich up until recently took several weeks.

Industry and the maritime trade are now finally convinced that the m echani-cal splice is actu ally stronger than the old time hand splice.

At M arine & Industrial R igging Ser-vice, a flem ish splice is formed in the wire over w hich is fitted a sleeve and then swaged b y a special hydraulic machine guaranteed to develop 100% of the rated tensile strength of the wire rope.

The swaged fitting also elim inates hand punctures and protruding ends of wire rope. A swaged loop cannot spin out as is possible w ith an overloaded hand spliced loop.

An 800 ton hydraulic sw aging m achine has been installed at M arine & Industrial Rigging Service, capable of sw aging up to 2V2" diam eter wire rope.

M achine swaged splice of w ire rope is now being used b y steamship owners, towboats, stevedores and construction firms because of its proven strength and safety.

Information on the M echanical swag splice may be obtained from O sc a r H u b - b ert . President of M arine & Industrial Rigging Service of Tampa.

FOURTH COFFEE PORT IN THE U.S.A.

44,257 tons of green coffee were received over Municipal Docks and Terminals Pier #2 in 1958, making this the 4 th largest point of entry in America for coffee. Vessels arrive regularly from Brazil, Columbia, Guatemala, and Mexico to supply the 4 coffee roasting plants at Jacksonville and a number in other cities.

Importers from Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, and Mexico can rely upon the regularity of these coffee ships and are invited to use M D T Pier # 2 as US point of entry for their own good.
