Penalty From Builder for Delay
Beyond Delivery Date of Three Ferries
JUNEAU UP) — Three inspectors
responsible to Alaska are making
daily prepress reports on the work
on three ferries being constructed
for the state in a Seattle shipyard,
Public Works Commissioner Rich
ard Downing said Tuesday.
Downing said the three men.
operating out of the office of Philip
Spaulding, Seattle marine archi
tect who designed the three ferries,
are under instructions to note the
reasons for any construction de
lays.
The Public Works Commissioner
made the comment when asked if
the state planned to adhere strictly
to the liquidated damages clause
in the $9,889,807 contract under
"hich Puget Sound Bridge and
Drvdock Co; is building the three
ferries.
Under the liquidated damages
clause, the shipyard is required to
pay the state a penalty of $1,000
a day for any delay in the sched
uled delivery of each of the three
vessels, “except for reasons beyond
the control of the contractor.’’
The first vessel, the Malaspina,
was scheduled for delivery on Am?
30. It still has not been delivered
and prospects are that it will not
be handed over to the state prior
to year’s end.
The second ferry, the Taku, is
scheduled for delivery Dec. 30 and
the third, the Matanuska, is slated
for an April 30 delivery date, ac- j
cording to the contract.
In advising the state of delays in
the scheduled delivery date of the
Malaspina, Downing said, Puget
Sound Bridge and Drydock “has
not committeed itself to anything
formally.”
This apparently means. Down
ing said, that the company plans
to claim, once the Malaspina is
delivered, that all delays were
caused by circumstances beyond
its control, thus voiding the liquid
ated damages clause.
Require Proof
“Under the circumstances," |
Downing said, “we will require
them to prove that each delay, day
by day, was, beyond a reasonable ;
doubt, beyond their control, in
court if necessary.”
Downing indicated that the pro
gress reports being compiled daily
by the three Spaulding inspectors
would form the base for any state
claims.
The question of liquidated dam- ;
ages in connection with the Mala- |
spina will not be discussed with
the Seattle shipbuilding firm until !
the ship is actually delivered.
Downing said.
The same procedure will hold
true for any claimed damages in ,
regard to the construction of the
Taku and Matanuska.
“While Mr. Spaulding has not
indicated specifically that there
will be delays in the scheduled de
livery dates for the Taku and

Matanuska,” Downing said, “it,
•stands to reason there probably
"•ill be a delay in each case.”
Declines to Make Estimate
The Public Work: Commissioner
declined to make an estimate of
actual loss to the state because of
d- lays in the delivery date for the
Malaspina and possible delays in
the delivery of the other two fer
ries.
Downing said one primary con
sideration was the inability of the
state to set firm, three-boat sched
ules in advance of the 1963 tourist
“We can make out three-boat
schedules,” Downing said, “but we
can't tell tourist agents and the
touring public when they will go
into effect.”
Downing said that of the $15
million allocated for the Southeast
Alaska Marine Highway System.
$9,733,000 has actually has been
spent. The remainder is in the
general fund awaiting the comple
tion of contracted work.
Myth of U.S. Cultural
Clod Is Put to Rout
By Statistical Bludgeon
NEW YORK UP — The image
of the American as a cultural
clod, says the Stanford Research
Institute of California, has been
put to rout by a statisical blud
geon.
Studies show there now are
more piano players than licensed
fishermen, as many painters as
I hunters and more theater-goers
| than golfers.
Fifty million Americans, the in
1 stitute says. are “strumming,
daubing, carving, acting, singing
on their own.”
The trend, it indicates, is home
grown. Behind it are instant-suc
cess gadgets, the do-it-yourself
urge, enterprising business, civic
pride and social status.
In effect, says Stanford, there
is evidence that Americans are
becoming interested more in
aesthetics than athletics.
Arnold Mitchell, an institute
economist, counted these statistics:
32 million players of musical in
struments, 15 million Sunday
painters, sketchers or sculptors, a
million art photographers and a
half-million actors. Amateur
writers were not included.
The result of such undertakings
is a market for the arts now run
ning about S2.5 billion a year, says
Mitchell. He predicts a total arts
market of $7 billion by 1970.
Playful Explosion . . .
ROME iff* — Rodolfo Mazza

Sunday night — and kicked off an
explosion that sent both youths to
the hospital.
Just before the boys met in front

bought a handful of explosive tor
pedoes and stuffed them in his hip
pocket.
Doctors said the boys’ burns
