These were outlined to the house appropriations sub- comcommittee at hearings on the in- dependent offices appropriation bil by Commissioner H. O. Cone, a retir- ed rear admiral of the navy. The study would be made under| tour general heads—combustion, ma- chinery, propulsion and operation. Experiments would be made by us. ing ordinary oil for motor ships, pul- | verized coal In steamers and a study for increased propulsion made by construction of hulls so that they will cut through the water with less resistance. Tests for economy and efficiency in operation are to be carried out. Needs Program “The American overseas shipping industry is greatly in need of such a research program,” a statement filed with the sub-committee by the ship- | ping board said. “By its very nature it is subject to the fiercest interna- tion competition and the differential in operating costs in favor of foreign flag shipping, which must always exist by reason of the higher stand- ard of living in this country, can through superior management and more up to date engineering. To the latter end re- search work is essential. “During the last eight years the | overseas shipping industry under the | o “€HHo {American flag has not been profit- | + |able to American capital. For that reason the various shipping com- panies have not been able to spend large sums of money in experimental and research work while on th other hand our forelgn competition: have been spending more than ever before on research -and have devel- oped & number of improvements in ship and machinery design and con- struction.” 169th Inf.
