sixperliner (Continued) flexible military potential that no less than four measures have been proposed in Congress to make special provision for Federal aid in building the ships. The bills were introduced by House Majority Leader John W. McCormack of Massachusetts and Rep. John H. Ray of New York. If enacted into law, they will authorize sale of the two ships by the Government to Sea Coach for $70,000,000 each, about half the cost of building them, or a 50 percent subsidy. Each of the 2,750 cabins will be air conditioned and have a television set. Both Congressional sponsors have re peatedly urged immediate action, and 13 AFL-CIO maritime union affiliates publicly endorsed the superliners be fore the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries as recently as July. But so far nothing has actually been done that will permit laying of the ships' keels. Kl othinc American, that is. But plenty ' of foreign action is gathering momentum from several direc tions. Along with the flood of mail pouring onto Cantor's desk from all over the world in quest of large-scale reservations aboard the superliners has come, almost inevitably, inquiries and offers from foreign shipyards to build the great vessels abroad for less. Ja pan is in the running with both feet. So is Holland. Late last Spring, in fact, the head of Verolme United Shipyards biggest in the Netherlands came here to seek an agreement with Cantor to let him tackle the project for an over-all price of, not $135,000,000, but $85,000,000 per ship. In addition, said Cornelius Verolme, he would seek for Cantor a Dutch govern ment loan to cover 80 percent of the construction cost of both liners. As of now, if Congress doesn't pass the necessary enabling legislation soon, Cantor feels he won't have much choice but to give the job to Verolme or some other foreign shipbuilder. That is because inroads on his world beating idea are already being threat ened by some old hands at world-beating on the high seas the British. They have cottoned to Cantor's scheme so enthusiastically that plans are afoot to get Crown aid in financing a 95,000-ton, single-class British superliner which would carry 9,000 passengers 3,000 more than Cantor's ships across the Atlantic at 35 knots in less than 4 days at competitive prices and with similarly generous accommodations. Nearest thing to either the British or U.S. superliner plans isn't very near, price-wise, but does provide some idea of the kind of reception a $50 fare can expect. Early this Summer the only new passenger ship company since World War II, American Banner Lines, put into tourist operation from New York to Zeebrugge the converted Badger Mariner, renamed the Atlantic. A commodious, air-conditioned, up-to-the-minute ship, the Atlantic has 860 tourist-class cabins and 40 first-class. The revealing thing about the Atlan tic operation, even after only a few months, is that it sold out from the first and there's no letup in sight. The 40 first-class cabins range to $335 one way, and the tourist rate varies from a top of $220 to an off-season minimum of $191.50. And Cantor contends that if people will go for even a slight reduc tion in ocean travel fares, they will overwhelm a facility that will transport them in comfort for $50 apiece. Hey Maw!
