to resume private operations.
After passage of the law a rate
increase of 35 per cent was put
into effect.
Magnuson said that the adam
ant opposition of chairman Wei
chel (R-Ohio) of the House Mer
chant Marine Committee appeared
to make it impossible to get an
extension of the law passed by

the present Congress.
"Chairman Weichel’s opposition
appears to have doomed any ex
tension of the present temporary
services for this session." Mag
nuson told a reporter.
"Either the operators will have
to revert to private operation at
a big increase in rates or the
Maritime Commission will have
to institute government operation
of the Alaskan service.
"The Senate Commerce Com
mittee is willing to approve ex
tension of the present service un
til next Feb. 28 but without the
approval of the House committee
our efforts to extend the service
are stymied."
Rep. Tollefson <R-Wash> said
he had not given up hope of being
able to convince Weichel that ex
tension of the present service
should be permitted.
