, SS Companies Are
Not in Agreement
With Bartlett Bill
WASHINGTON, — (^P) —S. J.
Swanson, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Alaska Trans
portation Co.,, told a House Sub
! committee today the Bartlett bill
to 'extend steamship service to
Alaska until 1953 is not workable.
He said provisions in it that
the Interior Department approve
contracts between the operators
and the Maritime Commission
would bring about “bad govern
ment administration.”
Swanson read a letter from
Norton Clapp, president of his
company, opposing the measure
by Delegate Bartlett of Alaska
and supporting the one by Rep.
Tollefson (R-Wash) which has
been agreed to by three Seattle
companies serving Alaska under
a temporary plan now in effect.
This temporary plan permits the
commission to furnish the oper
ators government-owned ships at
a dollar a year.
Clapp said Alaska’s economy
cannot support rates necessary
to maintain adequate steamship
service and government aid is
required. He said loaning gov
ernment ships to the companies
is a “more palatable” way of pro
viding a subsidy than paying the
companies money to operate the
service.
