chairman Weichel fR-Ohio) of the
House Merchant Marine Commit
tee to any extension of the pres?
ent plan.
Weichel says the commission
now has authority to operate the
Alaska service.
The Seattle companies, he said, I
had had 15 months in which to
work out plans for private opera-1
tion of the service and had not
done so.
Representatives of the present
operators, the Alaska Steamship
Co., the Northland Transportation
Co., and the Alaska Tiansporta
tion Co., tried to arrange a con
ference with Weichel today to
try to change his views.
He told a reported he had not,
seen them and that they should J
discuss the proposed service with i
the Maritime Commission.
Tollefson, who still is trying to
push through legislation to ex
tend the present plan, said he is
opposed to government operation j
because “the government will foot
the bill.”
“If we extend the present law
the government will be out only
a nominal sum.” ' Tollefson told
a reporter, “If the ships were not
being used by the present oper
ators, who keep them in condition,,
they should be laid up and the |
government have the cost of car
ing for them.”
Tollefson’s bill provides an ex
tension until September, 30, 1949. |
Senator Capehart <R-Ind>, chair- i
man of the Senate Commerce
subcommittee, approved similar
legislation but the extension would
end next February 28.
“The operators want the Sept
ember date kept in the legisla
tion,” Tollefson said, “as Septem
ber 30 will be the end of the i
fishing season. Febuary 28 would ,
be right at the start of the pre- |
parations for the season and cause
confusion among the salmon pack
ers.
