Rbtit Storage
WASHINGTON. June 2 T.fi—
Part of the government's "moth
bail" fleet may be put into oper-
ation this year a> floating storage
bin.T for government-owned grain,
it was revealed today.
Secretary of Agriculture Char-
les F. Brannon has asked the U. S.
Maritime Commission to "loan"
him cargo ship* for storing some
of the surplus grain taken over
by the government under price
support programs.
Maritime official* said the com-
mission is expected to decide the
matter soon. possMy within the
next five day*.
The commission ha* jurisdict-
ion over the 14KJ0 vessels ill the
nation'., reserve fleet. These in-
clude Liberty ship* and
some cargo vessels of different
types. Making allowances for
some cargo ships which for vari-
ous technical reason* could not
be used for storage, it was esti-
mated that there would be room
for perhaps lOO.liflii.lHMl bushels
of grain.
However, agriculture officials
emphasized that no vast sea-
borne storage operation is contem
plated at least for this year. They
•aid prtacat thinking is that par-
hnpn Mpa.tan tn 10.000,000 baab-
•U 44 grain misht bo Itacad ia
rargn vessels, if thn ci
okayed thn deal
That would requim
thaa X> or 40 Liberty ships. A Li-
berty slup can hold about 260.-
000 tn MOJJOO buahela of grain.
Such aa operation might serve
to "loosen up" the storage prob-
lem in certain critical spots this
summer, officials said. But they
emphasised thnt it certainly will
not relieve the preasare oa all
la ad storage tcrminnls when the
anticipated big IMR graia crops
The agriculture department
must find storage spnee for sev-
eral hundred million bushels of
l 4S grain cropa which the gov-
ernment expects to have on its
hands when the new crops come in.
Moat of this presumably will
have to go into storage rented
from private warehousemen. Any-
private facilities rented by the
government would leave that
much lesa space available for Far-
mers who need storage space to
take advantage of
loans.
