FOREG SHP LSE CHARGED 10 FORD Manufacturer Accused of Competing With U. S.- Owned Vessels. Charges that the Ford Motor Co. used foreign vessels in competing with American transatlantic lines, were contained in & memorandum filed yes- terday with the Shipping Board. The charges, presented by J. Cald- well Jenkins, vice president of the Merchant Fleet Corporation, were con- sidered by the board at its regular weekly meeting but no action was an- nounced. More than two years agn the board began an investigation to determine whether the Ford oomelnyx {reight- ers operating between Atlantic and Pa- cific coasts, through the Panama Canal, were acting as common carriers. ‘The investigation was dropped, how- ever, when the company complied with THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, lml;mm by filing its maximum rate Jenkins, listing eight foreign tnl;hb ers he said had been chartered by Ford company between January 21 nnd March 11 of this year, explained he thought it advisable to bring the sit- u-uon tn the attention of * board, “as ibly Mr. Ford might be pre- vlfled upon to improve his ways.” Jenkins said this clused the American companies to lose the Ford business and | structure. Seek General Cargo. Officials expressed the opinion the board had no legal means to compel a change in the Ford shipping arrange- ments. but thought he might be re- | quested not to carry general cargo on | his chartered ships. Jenkins said the Ford interests had excess space at their disposal and “are now soliciting other general cargo for Havre and Rotterdam in competition with_our American-France and Ameri- can Diamond li.nea and at less than the sonference rates.” These rates are those agreed uPon for certain zones on specific commodities. “The extension of this practice can- not help but retard the development of liner services,” Jenkins contended. The memorandum said the Ford | company had chartered ships of British, | German, Danish, Norwegian and Ja- panese registry. — Seven times as many motor cycles as automobiles were made in Austria ll-lt year. | threateried the stability of the rate | ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION HIT BY STORM Mexico and Utah Swept by Wind and Snow.
