Trainships Will
Speed Surface
Supply to Alaska
The Alaska Steamship Com
pany’s two proposed traipships
for the Seattle-Alaska run will
be the largest commercial vessels
regularly operating out of Seat
tle. Their design length is 585 ft.,
beam 86V4 ft. and loaded draft
20 feet.
Their sustained 18-knot speed
will enable them to operate on an
eight-day turn-ai*ound between
Seattle and Whittier, providing a
sailing from each port every four
days.
Trainships will thus provide
the fastest surface transportation
servtce available between the U.S.
and the vast interior of Alaska,
bringing that area from one to
three weeks closer to stateside
sources of supply, and make a
notable contribution to the fur
ther development of Alaska and
maintenance of strong defense
there.
Invitations to bid for construc
tion of the two vessels were is
sued June 29. Date set for the
opening of bids is Aug. 28.
The vessels are of the roll-on,
roll-off type, all cargo being han
dled in railcars and trailer vans.
Alaska Steam's engineers are
completing terminal designs to
meet the unusual requirements of
the trainships, which will be able
to load railcars and trailer vans
from two enclosed decks and the
trailer vans from the top deck at
any stage of tide at either port.
The entire project, involving
an investment in ships, terminals
and other facilities in excess of
$20,000,000, will be privately fi
nanced without ai(^ of govern
ment subsidies or funds. The
trainships have been declared es
sential to national defense by the
secretary of defense.
143 Americans Were
Millionaires in 1953
WASHINGTON, OP—One hun
dred and forty-five Americans
earned a million dollars each, or
more in 1953.
The Internal Revenue Service,
reporting this la?t night, said that
there were 148 individuals in that
category in 1952. The postwar
record is 219, set in 1950.
The money, of course, is com
puted before income taxes are
paid. Earning a total of $275 mil
lion, mostly on dividends and by
selling capital assets, the 1953
millionaires paid taxes of $ 169vs
million.
