mml (NANA) 14S.Bumby Opon Til 9 P.M. oV4-4 WORLD'S LARGEST OIL TANKER BEGINS REGULAR SCHEDULE Globtik Tokyo is only 107 feet shorter than world's tallest building North American Nawipip.r Alllanc LONDON The world's largest ship, the oil tanker Clobtlk Tokyo, has just begun sailing on a regular schedule between Japan and the Persian Gulf, according to Wm. Brandt's and Sons the London merchant bank which arranged the financing of the vessel. The mammoth ship, 1,243 feet Jong, left on its maiden voyage February 21 from Kiire, in southern Japan. The tanker arrived in the Persian Gulf on March 9 and, after taking on some 138 million gallons of crude oil from the Middle Eastern fields, was due In Japan on April 2 after a 23-day return voyage.

The ship is owned by the London-based firm of Globtik Tankers, which is also building a sister ship and has entered an order for a still larger tanker of 700,000 tons. Brandt's, Globtik Tankers' bank, headed a consortium of Scandinavian, French and American banks which raised funds for the construction of the $50 million Globtik Tokyo. The tanker joins the growing fleet of VLCC's, or very large Crude Carriers, as they are called, in helping to cope with the world's energy crisis by transporting huge quantities of fuel quickly and cheaply. The dimensions of the new supertankers are so vast that crews ride bicycles on the decks Instead of walking and navigators have to chart new courses to accommodate the ship's dimensions. Outward bound empty to the Persian Gulf, the Globtik Tokyo sailed through the Malacca Strait between Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula.

Loaded to its full draught, or depth below the water line, on its return the ship made Its voyage by a different and longer route through the deeper Lombok Strait between Bali and the Lombok Islands in Indonesia. The Malacca Strait can take ships of draughts only up to about 70 feet, while the tanker's full draught is almost 92 feet. The Globtik Tokyo, built in 1972, takes the record for size from another Japanese-built tanker, the Nissekl Maru, which went Into service in 1971. The Globtik Tokyo has a capacity of 104,302 more tons and is 105 feet longer than the Misseki Maru. The size of the oil tankers is expressed in deadweight tonnage, or the weight of the cargo which the vessels are designed to carry safely.

The huge size of the Globtik Tokyo becomes apparent when it is compared with some of the world's tallest buildings. The tanker is longer than the height of the Eiffel Tower and is almost as long as the height of either the Empire State Building or the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. Compared to the ship's 1,243 feet, the Eiffel Tower is only 984 feet, the Empire State Building is 1,250 feet plus a 222-foot broadcasting tower, and the World Trade Center, the CUSTOM TAILORED CLOTHES CAN COST LESS THAN READY MADE!

A longterm loan provided by Brandt's and its parent bank, National and Grindlays Bank, and an eight-year loan from Mitsui and Tokyo, made the construction of the tanker possible. The vessel is being operated on a 20-year charter to the Tokyo Tanker Caltex and Nippon Oil Group.

According to Brandt's, the operation will make "a considerable contribution to the United Kingdom's balance of payments." Ravi Tikko, formerly a junior lieutenant in the Indian Navy and now head of Globtik Tankers, believes that the new ship will produce foreign earnings of approximately $100 million in the next 10 years. world's tallest building, is 1,350, or onlv 107 more feet than the ship. The world's largest passenger liners, the Queen Elizabeth II and the France, are dwarfed by the tanker. The Globtik Tokyo is 208 feet longer than the France and 280 feet longer than the QE2. The breadth or beam of the tanker is 203 feet and its overall height is 230 feet.

The rudder, 45 feet high, is large enough to provide an area on which 47 cars could be parked. The five-bladed propeller weighs 61 tons. The tanker was launched Oct. 14, 1972, only six months after its keel was laid on April 3 at the Ish-ikawajima Harima Heavy Industries shipyard in Kure, Japan.

In fact, the indictment charges, all of these and many other i epresentations were false and fraudulent when made.

ALTHOUGH Lake Havasu Estates officials registered 164 lots with the FOR TIRE WEAR IS Federal Land Sales Office GILLETTE GOLDEN DEAR in December, 1969, sales were started illegally in June, 1969, said Richard H.

A78-1 3 (6.00) Whitewall Tubelesj "This is one of the most bad experience with the city where they were solicited, as with the salesmen and the land," Bernstein wrote in his letters. Mayors were sent a copy of the Lake Havasu Estates indictment so city officials could see the type of misrepresentation alleged in this case.

No specific suggestions were outlined to the mayors other than' a reference that the indictment "may be of interest to you and agencies under your jurisdiction which regulate business or sales solicitations." According to OILSR chief i 1 1 gator, Raymond Eluhow, who developed the Lake Havasu Estates case, tourists or convention visitors mostly in New Orleans, Reno, Las Vegas, and Guadalajara, Mexico, would be approached in the street or a public place in the city and offered a free sightseeing tour, dinner, tickets to shows, or other gifts in exchange for a few minutes time listening to a short talk about a new recreation land development.

cities the draw tourists and conventioneers have been warned by a federal officer that some unscrupulous land sales companies may be giving the cities an unfavorable impression. The warning was issued in letters sent to the mayors by George K. Bernstein, administrator of the Office of; Interstate Land Sales Registration (OH-SR) of the Department of Housing and ban Development. It comes in the aftermath of a federal grand jury indictment of officers and salesmen of Lake Havasu Estates, an Arizona company charged with mail fraud and violation of the federal Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act while selling desert real estate sight unseen. More than 2,000 sales were made, mostly to visitors solicited in the streets of New Orleans, Las Vegas and Reno.

Buyers of the land were from all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Japan. THE INDICTMENT in Phoenix of Kenneth R. Lavin, president, and other officers, salesmen and agents for Lake Havasu Estates, marked the first major criminal actions against a company en-ganged in nationwide sales of desert land. Other cases have been filed and convictions gained on fraudulent sales of land for recreation homesites, most of which was sold at the site of people who lived nearby. The grand jury indictment in Phoenix concerns only Lake Havasu Estates, which is now in bankruptcy proceedings and no longer selling land.

However, the letters from Bernstein were sent to mayors with the intent of making cities aware of the general problem of land sales solicitation of visitors and local citizens. Federal officials estimate that more than 50 developers are selling several hundred thousand desert lots in Arizona. New Mexico, and Nevada, to buyers throughout the United States and in several foreign countries. Most of these buyers do so without seeing the land.
