In Containerization And

Shipping Expo In 1971

Strong international representa- tion is expected in the Port of New

Orleans Containerization and Ship- ping Exposition, May 19-21, 1971.

John Mullis, exposition director, said four exhibitors from West

Germany are already booked in the exposition even though the event is five months off. He identified the

West German exhibitors as the

German Federal Railroads, Hapag

Lloyd and the ports of Bremen and

Bremerhaven. Mr. Mullis said ad- ditional German exhibitors are ex- pected to participate as well as ex- hibitors from a number of other

European and Asian nations.

The exposition, first of its kind to be held in the Deep South, will be held in the city's giant River- gate, one of the nation's largest and most modern exposition and convention centers.

Mr. Mullis said early registration indicates that participation in the exposition will include manufac- turers of containers and container handling equipment, transportation firms, a number of ports, ship build- ers, manufacturers of electric com- ponents and various other suppliers to the maritime industry.

Whitman To Head

New Transport Firm

James H. Whitman

The formation of a new company to encompass the international transportation activities formerly handled by Getz Bros. & Co., Inc.,

San Francisco, has been announced by J.W. Van Gorkom, president of

Trans Union Corporation.

The new company will be known as Tucor Services Inc. and will be a wholly-owned affiliate of Trans

Union Corporation. It will be head- quartered in San Francisco. James

H. Whitman, formerly vice-presi- dent of transportation, will be president of the new company. Tu- cor Services' activities include rep- resentation of many international steamship companies and airlines, stevedoring, leasing, movement of household goods, travel, public warehousing and marine supplies.

Creation of the new company is in response to the continued growth of the company's transportation activities and the desire to establish a company fully oriented toward international transportation serv- ices, Mr. Van Gorkom said.

Mr. Whitman has served in his former position since 1958. He joined Getz Bros, in 1954 as as- sistant vice-president.

With the exception of service in

World War II, he was associated with the Dollar Steamship Com- pany and its successor, American

President Lines, since 1930. He served a variety of positions includ- ing general agent of the company's

European, African and Middle East operations, general agent of the

Philippine activities and finally as assistant vice-president in the San

Francisco office. During World

War II, Mr. Whitman served as lieutenant colonel in the Army

Transportation Corps in Africa and

Italy. 38 Maritime Reporter/Engineering Hews
