M‘CARTHY ANNOUNCES MORE GREEK SHIPS MAKE PLEDGE Pledge Similar To That Of Other Vessels To Keep Out Of Red Trade Agreements By G. MILTON KELLY WASHINGTON (?-Sen. McCar- thy (R-Wis) announced today that operators have pledzed to keep 53 more Greek-owned ships out of trade with Communists in the ori- emt and behind the Iron Curtain. Ina prepared statement, Me- Carthy said the pledge is similar to an earlier one, covering 242 Greek ships, which stirred up a controversy. Like the first, McCarthy said, the new agreement: calls for the owners and agents to “abstain from engaging these chips in trade with Red China, the Soviet con- trolled ports of the Far East, or Soviet. intra-bloc trade anywhere in the world.” The agreements leave all 295 ships free, however, to carry car- goes from the Western Allies to Communist ports in Europe. When he announced the first agreement March 28, McCarthy said it was “negotiated” by his investigations subcommittee staff. In the subsequent dispute, Mutual Security Director Harold E. Stas- sen. aceused McCarthy of hamper- ing efforts to curb East-West trade, Secretary of State Dulles said such etions in the future. ‘This time, McCarthy said, Dul- I¢s. was told of tae pledge before it was announced. On March 28, McCarthy said he had acted with- opt consulting Dulles or other gov- ment officials because he want- ed no interference with his plans. McCarthy named these firms and individuals as controlling the 53 vessels involved in his announce- ment today: Extramar Panama, S. A., Com- pania de Vapore, Siram, S. A., and Compania Centauro de Va- pores, S. A., of Panama, Aristotle S. Onassis of London; Maris S, Embiricos of Monteviedo, Uruguay; Nautilus Shipping Corp. of New York City; Shipping Fi- nance Management Corp,, Ltd., of London; Falaise Shipping Com- pany of London, and E, Hadjilias of Athens, Greece. “The individuals and firms who * control the chartering of 31 of the out anew in an eftort to reassure the London Greeks that the U. 8. favors such agreements. McCarthy has asked Stassen for a similar subcommittee.’* The announcement said 11 of the 53 ships covered in the new agree- ment fly the Honduran flag, 17 the Panamanian, 10 the Greek, 10 the Liberian, and five the British.
