Farm Subsidy Aids U.S. Merchant Marine The United States merchant ma-rine industry will collect about $87-million in Government subsi-dies this fiscal year for carrying foreign aid shipments of surplus American farm products, an Agri-cultural Department report indi-cates. The subsidy grows out of the fact that cargo rates on United States ships?except for scheduled liners?are about double the rates charged by foreign ships. A 15-year-old law, the Cargo Preference Act, requires half of all aid shipments to move in the cost-lier United States-flag vessels when they are available at normal United States-scale rates. The extra shipping costs caused by "cargo preference" in moving farm products under the Food for Peace Program were compiled by the Agriculture Department in a report published by the Senate Ap-propriations Committee. Let Wilson tube cleaners and expanders work for you. Under their rugged exterior is a precision powerhouse designed to get the job done fast and done right.
