nation's early warning system
against air attack.
One of the most popular
modifications, never made on
the O'Brien, was to reinforce
the ship with a steel band
because of a dangerous and
sometimes tragic tendency to
break apart during storms.
That was because the ships, to
speed their construction, were
welded and not riveted
together.
Franklin D. Roosevelt called
them "ugly ducklings!' To
German submariners who tor-
pedoed them, they were
•Kaiser's creeping coffins
But to the thousands of men
who sailed on them, they were
Liberty ships, th backbone of
America's massive sea force
that helped crush the Nazi and
Japanese war machines in the
1940s.
In an incredible surge of na-
tional productivity. 2,742 were
mass produced between 1941
and 1945 in 18 American
shipyards — the largest
number of ships ever built from
a single design.
Now, only one authentic
Liberty remains — the
Jeremiah O’Brien — and
oldtime sailors are working to
have the relic of a bygone era
preserved as a museum.
The O'Brien now rusty with
peeling paint and a nesting spot
for pigeons, lies at anchor 40
miles northeast of San
Francisco among 40 ships in
the Suisun Bay mothball fleet.
Like Henry Ford’s Model T,
the Liberties were classics of
simplicity, low cost and utility.
Hundreds of thousands of
men and women workers in
factories in 32 states built the
30,000-plus components that
headed for speedy assembly at
shipyards on the East Gulf and
West coasts.
Many were built by the
Henry J Kaiser industrial
empire, and that, combined
with their slow, 10-knot speed,
accounted for one of the
nicknames.
The first of the breed was the
Patrick Henry, launched 2%
months before the Japanese
attack on Pearl Harbor. There
were so many of them that the
names sometimes seemed
far-fetched, such as the Stage
Door Canteen — named in
honor of a New York recreation
club for servicemen.
Lberties carried troops,
planes, tanks, guns, gas and
bombs to battlefields around
the world in the ’40s, to Korea
in the '50s, and Vietnam in the
’60s.
More than 200 Liberties sank
from, storms or enemy tor-
pedoes, many with heavy loss
of life. As hospital ships, they
took the wounded home. Some
were sunk deliberately to
provide a harbor breakwater on
the invasion beaches of France.
Then, for more than 20 years
they were the backbone of the
world's tramp steamer mer-
chant fleets. Finally they were
obsolete — too slow, too old
and too expensive to operate.
Many were cut up for scrap,
Others were sunk deliberately
to create artificial ocean reefs
to improve fishing in the
Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific.
The few other remaining
Liberties were modified for a
variety of tasks, ranging from
oil tankers to radar picket duty

Loss of $1 Billion
Congressman Jake Pickle has
revealed that the Federal
Government is losing about $1
billion a year because states are
not enforcing a 10-year-old
Medicaid payment provision.
Pickle has called for a
Congressional investigation in-
to the situation.
“Under the Social Security
law, states may not allow
Medicaid payments when a
patient has other insurance
coverage!' Pickle said. “The
, purpose of this requirement is
to prevent double payments
and keep from using federal
funds when costs should be
paid by a private insurer!'
In a letter to the Chairman of
the House Ways and Means
Oversight Subcommittee. Pick-
le stated, “The law clearly
requires Medicaid payments
only after the state has made an
honest effort to collect from
any other liable insurance
carrier. My research in this-
matter leads me to believe that
little effort has been made in
developing an effective means
of collection!' Pickle said.
Pickle is the second ranking
member of the Oversight
Subcommittee which handles
investigations for the House
Ways and Means Committee.
Pickle requested that the
subcommittee staff begin a
review of this situation and
asked that investigation hear
ings be held.
"Information gained by me
so far indicates that both the
states and Federal government
recognize this as a major
problem. However, there are
sharp differences of opinion
between the Federal govern-
ment and the states on how to
go about correcting the
problem. This is why a
Congressional review is need-
ed!' Pickle said.
This law has been on the <
books for 10 years and I think
Congress needs to know why
the states have not enforced it.”
