questions about whether Todd in San Pedro would survive Todd had signed fixed-price ship contracts for tanker construction only to see runaway inflation boost the cost of the things that go into building a ship so high that the tankers could have been built only at a loss Todd canceled the tanker contracts and took a $43 million loss After three or four years however the shipyard came back to life spurred on by having won about $850 million in contract work for the construction of Navy frigates Those Navy jobs kept the San Pedro' 5000 men busy for a half dozen years Last year the frigate work started to run out Todd began laying off its By Richard Pyle Associated Press IWO JIMA American and Japanese veterans of the fierce five-week struggle to take this rocky speck of land returned today to place a memorial above the sands of Iwo Jima in hopes that so many lives 27000 never will be sacrificed in war again Forty years ago today three divisions of US Marines waded through the Pacific coming ashore on the volcanic ash beaches 660 miles south of Tokyo When the battle ended March 26 1945 nearly 21000 Japanese had been annihilated after fighting from caves and tunnels and being cut off from reinforcements About 6800 Americans were killed in the fight one of the bloodiest battles in World War four-year campaign in the Pacific For most of the Americans it was the first return to the island which now has small US and Japanese military stations It was an emotion-charged experience both for the ex-Marines who with wives and a few children numbered about 280 and the 110 Japanese including 50 of the 1000 or so who survived sure brings back a lot of memories deep down said Joseph Selby of Maple Shade NJ who lost all but one of his eight-man machine gun squad in the first few minutes of fighting American military strategists wanted Iwo Jima seized for use as a base to launch fighter planes to escort B-29 bombers on raids against major cities and industrial complexes in home islands Japan surrendered in August 1945 after atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki At the dedication ceremony tailored primarily for an American television documentary the former enemies embraced sometimes tearfully and traded souvenirs It was at least the third time that survivors from both sides had met and mingled on the former battlefield and it likely was the last such reunion for these graying veterans the youngest of whom are in their late 50s Among the Japanese at least two were in their 80s In English and Japanese the granite marker commemorates the of and expresses hope that sacrifices will always be remembered and never be Among the speeches was a message from President Reagan It praised the fortitude and bravery (that) abounded on all and said the outcome a direct impact in bringing two great maritime nations then at odds to the high level of peace and cooperation we enjoy today" The ceremony included Marine Corps and Japanese naval bands Buddhist and Christian prayers while television crews taped the proceedings from every angle The documentary producer Arnold Shapiro told reporters he had written the inscription on the granite memorial which was financed by veterans groups in the United States and Japan The battle for the pork-chop shaped island three miles wide by less than five miles long lived on as the subject of the 1949 John Wayne film of Iwo and through a widely known Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph by AP photographer Joe Rosenthal showing the raising of the American flag by five Marines and a Navy corpsman Funding for reunion and memorial came from associations in the United States and Japan The family of Wayne the late actor also helped pay for the memorial Among those returning were two of the approximately 19000 Americans wounded in the assault One was Jacklyn Lucas a Marine who had just turned 17 when he smothered two Japanese hand grenades with his body on the second day saving several buddies and wounding himself severely Lucas 57 of Bowie Md received the United highest award for heroism the Medal of Honor He later joined the Army and retired in 1965 as a captain The other was Col

shipping- interests For commercial ACTIVE VESSELS IN PORT (0800) TUESDAY FEBRUARY IS 1985 yards Other ship repair jobs go to smaller yards such as A1 Boat Shop of Terminal Island or to the competitive Billfish yard in San Pedro As the major commercial port complex on the south end of the West Coast Los Angeles-Long Beach often is the first port of call for a ship coming north from what can be hurricane-tossed waters between the Panama Canal and the United States Combined with the fact that there is a huge flow of cargo routinely moving in and out of the ports for local distribution and transfer onto trains this southernmost geography helps steer business to the shipyards unlikely that any given ship will have to stop for repairs on every trip to Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors but most ships do require fuel provisions equipment and a place to load and unload This involves a whole network of support personnel that starts with the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Marine Exchange From a lookout post atop an antique warehouse the staff of the Marine Exchange keeps track of the coming and going of commercial ships notifying marine supply stores that subscribe to their service of times of arrival and departure The suppliers frequently deal with a shipping agency a commercial firm on contract to represent the interests of the owners whenever that ship is in port Large steamship companies often have their own agencies but many shipping lines hire outside shipping agents to represent them In addition to the routine matters of arranging for supplies and suitable berth facilities shipping agents often must cope with unexpected problems One example of this type of firm would be Williams Diamond and Co As representative for the Cunard Line for example its agents often must deal with starkly contrasting problems One day they may be making arrangements for a national television crew interested in a glimpse of the opulent $3000-a-day suites aboard the luxurious Queen Elizabeth 2 The next they may be working with the Far East Shipping Co the Soviet shipping company trying to find a secure terminal and longshore crews to unload vodka and plywood while an angry mob of demonstrators screams curses about the Soviet destruction of a Korean Air Lines passenger jet In addition to agencies representing ship owners there also are companies that mainly obtain long-term leases on the waterfront broker that space and provide longshore crews to work ships there Firms such as Metropolitan Stevedore Co of Wilmington or Stevedore Services of America of Long Beach help move cargo for ships that have their own leased terminals In some cases the big steamship companies American President Lines Evergreen Line and Matson Navigaton Co also enter this realm brokering space in their own giant terminals to smaller shipping lines Under what are called revenuesharing agreements the port managements encourage the operators of terminals for the big shipping lines to seek new harbor tenants using the attraction of the reduced rates granted to the major shipping lines The ports see the arrangement as a way of giving the big shipping companies an incentive to help drum up business for the harbor Another part of the infrastructure that often goes unnoticed is the network of government support that provides special help to the harbors which in turn creates thousands of jobs in the surrounding economy The ports frequently have complained about the lack of enough customs inspectors to speed commercial cargoes on their way On the other hand Los Angeles and Long Beach sometimes have been more successful than other parts of the country in dealing with computerization of customs documents and in seeking other types of government aid For example while Customshouse agents in San Francisco have had to battle with customs regulations that restricted computerized handling of cargo documents to one point shippers in Los Angeles have been able to choose from five processing systems depending on which is most convenient The Southern California ports also have been supported by port-oriented congressmen and state legislators pressing for their interests Rep Glenn Anderson D-San Pedro for example obtained $52 million in highway funds to improve the roads around the two ports and another $30 million in dredging funds Assemblyman Dave Elder D-Long Beach has won state exemptions that allow the ports to carry out dredging more rapidly Others such as Coast Guard Adm A1 Manning former commander of the CoasFGuard in Southern California also have campaigned in Washington DC not to eliminate rescue helicopters commercial ship inspection and marine safety facilities for the area Proposed budget cuts were rescinded when Manning and the maritime community explained the importance of federal support to the West largest commercial shipping center FEBRUARY 18 19S8 (0800-2400) tor Dastlhatlon To Sail the downside is that Todd will have fewer skilled shipyard workers available on a notice The up side is that near-completion of the frigate program prompted Todd to accelerate construction of the ship elevator and left it hungry for repair work Unfortunately for Todd some private shipping lines have been wooed away by new federal regulations that allow certain repairs to be performed overseas where labor is cheaper The yard also has seen jobs lost due to the weak Canadian dollar which has prompted some foreign lines to take advantage of favorable exchange rates and have ship repairs done in Canada Nonetheless Todd still takes dozens of major ship repair jobs each year ranging from patching the hull of the Pacific Princess better known to television viewers as the Love Boat to more routine repairs on the giant propellers and rudders that power and direct city-sized ships Todd of course is far from the only shipyard at the ports At the other end of Los Angeles Harbor is the somewhat smaller Southwest Marine Corp operating the shipyard formerly run by Bethlehem Steel Corp Gone is the mystery ship the Glomar Explorer which retrieved secrets from a sunken Soviet submarine Gone are the Howard Hughes-style cloak-and-dagger Lockheed missile engineers with cover stories about mining manganese nodules from the seafloor They have been replaced by the less glamorous but no less important day-to-day job of

Tom change of mind in the Pacific Palisades oil drilling controversy was criticized on a number of fronts Monday by his chief opponent in the mayoral race City Councilman John Ferraro who is attempting to stop quest for a fourth term said the switch was indicative of the drive to become political the mayor may have received exchange for supporting drilling Bradley said later that Ferraro should dealing in this kind of speculation and The mayor added that the charges did not merit a further response Ferraro has voted for Palisades oil drilling each time the matter has come before the council The complaints he voiced Monday dealt with the background of the decision and its political and moral implications not with the issue of oil wells in Pacific Palisades Bradley has switched his position and he has not answered to satisfaction the reasons for the Ferraro said at a news conference on City Spring Street steps The approval last month of three City Council-passed ordinances allowing beachfront drilling by Occidental Petroleum Corp some very fundamental questions" Ferraro said In past years Bradley has vetoed plans for Occidental to drill from a geologically fragile oceanfront site in one of the most affluent neighborhoods But in a surprise move Jan 12 Bradley signed three ordinances that placed the drilling question in the hands of the state Coastal Commission The action elicited a storm of criticism from environmentalists and Westside lawmakers Bradley said at the time that his decision was and was on the information provided today not on offer to build a dewatering system for the Palisades bluff above the drilling site and to take out a $100 million insurance policy to protect the city from damage claims arising from the drilling were key factors in the decision he said Bradley who in in 1982 was defeated by Republican Gov George Deukmejian is considered a likely contender for the 1986 Democratic gubernatorial nomination Ferraro has said that the job should be full time and that the person who holds the office should not be aspiring for higher office While Ferraro stopped short of accusing Bradley of corruption he said the mayor would the city of Los Angeles to become That sell-out the councilman said could include political favors and campaign contributions in return for favorable decisions The appointment last year of City Hall lobbiest attorney Maria Hummer to the Lea Angeles Airport Commission also was questioned by Ferraro Ferraro also wondered if any money had changed hands between the Bradley administration and Occidental or the politically prominent law firm of Manatt Phelps Rothenberg Tunney tfter 12 years as mayor Tom Bradley ars to believe he can do anything make any deal to be the icilman said rraro questioned financial
