MARIE CAPTAL “STRKE' FEARED Lack of Private Funds and Enthusiasm Threaten U. S. Subsidy Plan. By the Associated Press. A prospective shortage of private eapital threatened today the success of the Government's program to rebuild the American merchant marine. Joseph P. Kennedy, chairman of the | Maritime Commission, said a sul’\e}'} riow nearing completion indicated an “apparent inability” on that part of | the ship lines to hold up their end of the subsidy program upon which the Government’s plans are predicated. At the same time a lack of en- thusiasm for the subsidy program was reported in maritime circles. Many. Ehip owners, it was said, do not ap- prove of the provisions of the law. Certain New York ship operators went so far as to say the operation of the merchant ship subsidy plan was *impossible.” They predicted the Gov- ernment would have to build the ships itself if a new merchant fleet is launched. The subsidies which the Maritime Commission is empowered to offer ship operators in the building of as many ®s 350 merchants ships, would equalize the difference between the American Bosts of building and operating ships end similar expenditures by foreign competitors.

Unless private capital is willing to invest to the extent of the non-subsidized costs, there will be no building, however, for the commission $o subsidize, Disclosure of this possible “capital #trike” came in the midst of mari- time labor troubles. ~“The National Labor Relations Board Baturday called for Wagner act elec- Hlons within a week at East Coast and Gulf ports to settle a prolonged | Ktruggle between C.

Kennedy said when the report is Made public about October 1, the| commission “would have to let the| gountry know” that it appeared im- Probable that the merchant marine Program would be carried out as spec- | ifled by Congress in setting up the| maritime commission in 1936.

What they will find atop this wooded relic of that ancient time, when receding glaciers cut away the soil around it and left stranded all the | creatures that inhabited it, they do not know. Not in the memory of man has any one scaled the temple.
