Pair to Argue For Interim Shipping Plan Twro executives of the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce have left for Washington to try to win administration support for an "interim shipping" plan to assure that ships will serve Hawaii even if the West Coast maritime strike resumes.

Cannon, president of the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, and George McLane, vice-president, wrill seek the support of President Kennedy and his administration to allow government ships to be used in emergency service to the Islands.

REFUSED Such service was refused prior to the President's decision to use the Taft-Hartley Act and win an 80-day break in the West Coast shipping strike.
