MEN NEEDED
FOR DUTY IN
SEA SERVICE
\ Anticipating the early arri
val in Pacific coast ports of
nearly 800 Merchant Marine
'ships from the Philippines in
vasion, Washington and local
officials of the U. S. Maritime
Commission and the War Man
power commission are acting to
avert a manpower crisis in the
manning of ships.
Paul V. McNutt, chairman of
the WMC, and Emory S. Land,
vice admiral and chairman of
the USMC, today released a
joint statement through Andrew
G. Wilson, Pacific area execu
tive of the War Shipping Ad
ministration, appealing to mer
chant seamen to realize the ser
iounsess of the shipping situa
tion and to sacrifice Christmas
holidays at home to keep the in
vasion supplies flowing over
seas.
“At the present moment there
I are many merchant marine sea
| men waiting for ships in San
Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Los
j Angeles and other ports,” stated
! Mr. Wilson, ‘‘but the facts are
that most of our ships are re
turning in a quantity that will
tax the capacity of all Pacific
ports. Then ever seaman now on
the beach will be immediately
employed and we will be cry
ing for more. Because of the
1 Christmas season, many men will
be reluctant to sail—but the sup
plies for our next big invasion
are waiting now on the docks of
San Francisco and other Pacific
ports and they must be rushed
overseas. Many ships from the
Atlantic are reporting for the
Pacific run and a mass of de
livery of newly-built vessels is
is expected.”
‘‘To man these ships will re
quire every available merchant
seaman in the West—and their
ships will leave before Christ
mas.”
To meet the impending emer
gency, the War Manpower Com
mission chairman has notified all
local and 3500 other U. S. Em
! ployment Service offices to con
centrate on recruiting exper
ienced seamen now ashore. “We
; are asking employers to release
immediately any men who have
I had previous sea experience,”
1 decalres Chairman McNutt, ‘‘and
such men are guaranteed the
same re-emploment. and senior
ity rights as members of the
armed forces.
“No employer will be permitted
to hire any merchant marine sea
man who may come ashore, look
ing for a job, without specific
| permission of the USES. Any man
with sea experience will be im
measurably more valuable to the
war effort as an active merchant
seaman than he could possibly be
to a shore industry, especially in j
view of the critical situation im-'
pending in the Pacific war thea
tres. Supplies for these invasions
must be delivered by Merchant
Marine ships and no delay for
lack of seamen can be tolerated.
American Merchant Marine
ships have been sailing insuffi
ciently manner, Admiral Land’s
statement reveals. ‘‘In recent
months, as many as 1600 men
sailed as licensed officers, who
either had no license or were em
ployed for emergency sailings in
positions higher than their li
cense. We have to use navy ra
dio operators because we cannot
get enough civilian radio men.
“On October 20, while the Phil
ippine invasion was in progress,
we had in the entire United
States only a sufficient number
of skilled officers in American
seaports able to operate about
ten vessels; whereas on the same
day we had requests for eriough
men in these critical ratings to
operate about 45 ships.”
Men with sea experience, and
cooks and radio men—even with
out sea experience—are asked to
register with the War Shipping
Administration recruiting offices
in their nearest port. Men with
out sea experience should report
to U. S. Maritime Service for
training. Pay starts upon accept
ance.
