I A (PA.) DAILY TIMES Friday. October 1SCS ROBERT ALLEN PAUL SCOTT War Pinpoints Our Ship 'Crisis 9 WASHINGTON American troops fighting in Viet Nam are relying on foreign merchants to deliver an increasing share of their daily war needs. foreign owned and manned merchant jships are currently hauling JLJ.S. Military cargoes to Viet Nam from the U.S. Three are Liberian vessels.

Jhe other eight fly the flags of Britain, Israel, Panama, Alien Scott West Germany, Finland, Nor- way, Denmark and the Neth! erlands. Their number is expected "to increase as the U.S. in Viet Nam to 200,000 troops "by early 1966. ACCORDING to informa- ''tion gathered the House Marine Committee, U.S. simply does not have 'enough operational merchant to supply these troops triind at the same time tain its commercial trade commitments around the r.

globe. So critical is Che shipping committee findings that the U.S. could not mount a second-front sealift another world crisis explode. Resort to. the mothball fleet only a remedy.

'-Many reserve vessels pressed the Viet Nam lifeline proved unseaworthy, ev- "en after expensive repairs. Six troop transport ships, operated by the Military Sea Transportation Service, have been diverted from Atlantic to Pacific service. Two have been returned to their Atlantic runs, but three others have been pulled out of the'moth- bali fleer to fill the breach. One hospital ship, the 1 is being reactivated. AVERAGE age of the U.S.

merchant mothball fleet is 20 to 25 years. Average cost to put vessels back into service is 5250,000 per cargo ship. Troopship reactivation costs run higher--over $1.6 million per vessel. Reported shortages of dry- dock space and skilled shipyard workers are delaying some reactivation work. Contracts for three troopships, for example, were awarded August 26 on a 60- day completion basis, but the Navy says it can't be sure tfie ships will be finished on time.

Troopship "USNS Gen. Nelson M. Walker" is being reactivated in the Bethlehem Steel Company's Baltimore shipyard, and the "USNS Gen. William Wiegel" and "USNS Gen. John Pope" are being readied respectively, at the Todd Shipyard facilities in San Pedro and Alameda, Calif.

POLICY SCRUTINY Administration officials are un- FIRST "Victory" ship from mothballs for Nam service-- the "Iraq had to be because her hull plates buckled. Boiler tubes failed pres- sure tests on 50 per cent of -the reactivated Victory ships. Gears and turbines are undependable. Ships are put to sea only by canibalizing parts from others in the reserve fleet. "We are in an armed conflict in Viet Nam without an adequate merchant marine fleet (and) the reliability of our national defense reserve fleet is open to serious question," angrily charges Congressman William S.

Mailliard of California, Republican on (he House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee. BEHIND MaiHiard's conc cern are these unreported facts: One hundred cnrgo ships, including the I I foreign-flag vessels, are currently under charier to the Defense Department and related agencies to ferry government goods to Viet Nam. Fifty additional ships have been broken out of the Marl- Administration's reserve moihbnll Ten reserve ships, on loan to private users, have been recalled by the Pentagon for (he Viet Nam run.
