Adm. Harold E. Shear Sworn-ln

As Maritime Administrator

Secretary of Transportation Drew Lewis (right) admin- isters oath of office to Adm. Harold E. Shear, USN (ret.), as Maritime Administrator at Department of

Transportation ceremony. Mrs. Shear holds the Bible.

Adm. Harold E. Shear was sworn-in re- cently as Administrator of the Maritime

Administration by Secretary of Transpor- tation Drew Lewis.

The former Commander of Allied Forces in Southern Europe is the first to head the agency since it was transferred to the De- partment of Transportation from the Com- merce Department last August.

Secretary Lewis, commenting on the ap- pointment of the four-star admiral, said: "Admiral Shear is well-qualified to take on the tough task of reinvigorating our nation's maritime resources. In this undertaking, he will have my full support and will work closely with the Congress and all segments of the maritime industry. "In addition, the recent transfer of Mar Ad to DOT will ensure that federal maritime policies and initiatives will be more effec- tively coordinated and administered than in the recent past."

A much decorated combat veteran, Ad- miral Shear specialized in submarines for 25 years and among his commands was the nuclear-powered, ballistic missile submarine

USS Patrick Henry. During the Vietnam

War, he commanded the Navy's first fast combat-support ship, USS Sacramento.

Admiral Shear retired from the Navy in 1980 and came to the post at the Maritime

Administration from Norton, Lilly & Co., a

New York firm which serves as general agent for shipping companies, where he was vice president.

A December 1941 graduate of the U.S.

Naval Academy in a wartime accelerated class, Admiral Shear served in both destroy- ers and submarines during World War II.

During his 39-year naval career, he held numerous important commands, including director of the Navy's submarine warfare and antisubmarine programs; chief of the

U.S. Naval Mission to Brazil, and vice chief of Naval Operations.

At the time of his retirement in June 1980, he was Commander in Chief of Allied

Forces in Southern Europe, which placed him in charge of armed forces of all NATO nations on the southern flank of Europe from Gibraltar to the eastern boundary of

Turkey and Russia.

A graduate of the Armed Forces Staff

College, the Navy Nuclear Power Training

Program and the National War College, Ad- miral Shear grew up on Shelter Island, N.Y.

He is married to the former Elizabeth Perry of Falmouth, Maine. They have two children,

Kathleen and Kenneth.

In a brief address following the ceremony,

Admiral Shear promised to "push very hard to get this industry back on its feet." He told a crowd of about 150 industry repre- sentatives that he anticipates "significant progress in the months ahead."

Paceco, Inc., a subsidiary of Fruehauf

The fabrication area is connected by rail to Paceco's new 38,650-square-foot en- vironmentally controlled metal preparation and coating facility and is within walking distance of Paceco's new three-story head- quarters building. The plant, located on the

Activities at the plant include heavy steel fabrication of container handling, bulk han- dling, and heavy lift cranes for onshore and offshore application, as well as contract man- ufacturing and fabrication for the offshore industry including complex subassemblies re- quiring sophisticated machining capabilities.

Currently, there are 720 Paceco-designed cranes in operation in more than 120 ports worldwide.

Paceco licensees are located in Japan, Ko- rea, Canada, Italy, Africa, England, France,
