' By Chart.. B. Dsggs. (United Press Correspondent) Washington, Oct. 8. (U.R) The Allies can deliver the de cisive blow against Germany this year If they concentrate shipping in the Atlantic and otherwise make the best mill' tary use of the 3,000,000 tons of ships they acquired unexpected' ly in 1943, a senate military af fairs sub-committee reported to day. If vigorously opposed dividing shipping strength equally be tween the Atlantic and Pacific, and challenged congressional critics who demand more atten tion for the Pacific area. Diversion Dangerous "To divert ships from the European area now," it said, "would choke off our greatest offensive in midstream. It would prolong the war and cost innumerable lives." ' The United States has 16,000, 000 tons and her Allies 50,000,- 000 tons, it added, but there are I not enough ships to support simultaneous supreme offensives in all theatres. Proper military use of shipping, however, could place the 0,000,000 troops over seas six months ahead of the end of 1944. schedule, the com' mittee said. Sharply reduced submarines sinkings and record new pro duction gave the Allies this year a "windfall" of 3,000,000 more tons of shipping "than entered Into our military planning for 1943," the committee said. In military terms. It explained, that means 9,000,000 extra tons of cargo in one year enough to equip 1,500,000 more troops in the European theater. "If these 3,000,000 tons are fully mobilized for military use rathef than dissipated on peace time commerce," the committee said, "and ... if plans are exe cuted to pack every ship to the last pound and the last cubic foot, our shipping windfall can deliver the decisive blows In Europe this year." Recommendations ' The committee recommended: 1. Concentration of shipping In the Atlantic and avoidance of "spreading too thin" ship sail ings to other theaters. 2. Centralization in the war shipping administration of con trol over shipping all cargo from factory to overseas ports. 8. Halting of efforts to divert (hipping space to the transport of non-essential goods in civilian trade. . , 4. Overhauling WSA's re cruitment and training program to assure doubling the number of seamen by next June. 5. Establishment of a cen tralized system of hiring long shoremen. . 6. Greater efficiency In use of cargo space by integrating different types of cargo handled by the army and WSA, and by "realistically" revising the army's formula for supplying overseas troops. oowt .10.00. common cows e00a) M. eann.rs and euttars M-tOaSJO; medium bulls 10.0O 10.40. .
