Thomas J. Smith, president of Farrell Lines

Incorporated of New York, N.Y., has an- nounced the appointment of Capt. Raymond H.

A graduate of the U.S. Merchant Marine

April 1945, and became a master in August 1956. In 1962, he had six months of shore duty in Cape Town, South Africa, and in 1963, four months in Johannesburg. In February 1964, he was appointed resident manager for West Af- rica, and in May 1967, he was made resident manager for South and East Africa. He was appointed managing director of Farrell Lines

International Corporation in October 1967.

At the same time, Mr. Smith stated that

Thomas R. Tarbox would be sent to Johannes- burg to assume the duties of resident manager for South and East Africa.

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Mr. Tar- box attended Choate School in Wallingford,

Conn., and received a bachelor of arts degree from Williams College. He joined Farrell Lines in 1965 and 'began a two-year assignment in

Liberia. Returning to the United States in 1967, he was assigned to the Philadelphia of- fice, and in 1968, he joined the New York sales department. In February 1971, Mr. Tarbox was appointed resident representative for East and

Central Africa, with headquarters in Nairobi,

Kenya. He returned to the United States early in 1972 and took up duties in the sales depart- ment until his present assignment.

American Tunaboat Association

Announces Officers For 1973

The annual meeting of the American Tuna- boat Association was held in San Diego, Calif., to review the year's activities and to elect ex- ecutive officers for the new year.

Lou Brito, the Association's 1972 president, was honored for his contributions and was pre- sented with a memento of appreciation. The 1973 slate of officers was announced as follows: president, Joe Medina Jr.; vice president, Julius

Zolezzi; secretary, Daniel Marks; and treasur- er, George Alameda.

Special concern was expressed by tuna boat owners with regard to increasing vessel con- struction and closed season allocations for small purse seiners. As a result, A.T.A. adopted the following Resolutions for 1973: (a) to re- quest Federal suspension of the construction tax reserve program regarding tuna vessel con- struction for new vessels entering the fleet in 1974; (b) to request suspension of the Puerto

Rican income tax exemption for new tuna ves- sels operating out of Puerto Rican ports, com- mencing in 1974, and (c) to request consolida- tion of all purse seiners of 400-tons carrying- capacity or less into a single small-boat allot- ment for the Eastern Pacific yellowfin tuna closed season, commencing in 1973.
