These are the first 'liquid bulk chemical carriers for which sub- sidy was sought under the new long-range program 'to rebuild the entire U.S.-flag merchant fleet.

Three of the chemical carriers would be 'heated-refrigerated types.

The other three would be refrig- erated only, Suwannee explained.

Friede and Goldman of New Or- leans, La., is said to be developing the design. A builder has not yet been chosen.

The heated - refrigerated types are expected to cos't some $60 mil- lion each, with construction sub- sidy of $23.4 million each, or 39 percent, to be required to equalize foreign costs. The refrigerated-only models, Suwannee said, were estimat- ed at $56 million each, with a sub- sidy of about $21.8 million each, or 37.5 percent.

Suwannee also said it intended to apply for operating subsidy later. At least tentatively, Suwannee said the three heated-refrigerated vessels would haul superphosphoric acid to

Russian Black Sea ports. All six would pick up Russian ammonia from both Black Sea and Baltic ports for U.S. and other world markets.

The application brought to some $5.1 billion the value of shipbuilding represented by pending applications at MarAd.

Subsidy Request Made

For Chemical Carriers

To Trade With Russia

The Maritime Administration re- cently disclosed that subsidy has been sought for t'he first ships in- tended to be used specifically in future trade with Russia.

To be chemical carriers, the six 67,000-deadweight-ton vessels are to bring to the United States and other world markets ammonia from the Soviet Union after delivering superphosphoric acid to Russia.

The total estimated value of the shipbuilding involved was $348 mil- lion by the applicant, Suwannee

River Lines Inc., Los Angeles,

Calif., a company organized by four "employees" of Occidental Petro- leum Co., the pioneering U.S. cor- poration to work out long-range trade agreements with the USSR.

The four employees were identi- fied as Dean B. Lewis, Raymond
