House Committee Rejects Request Fund For Merchant Ships Is Rejected WASHINGTON (INS—The house appropriations committee rejected today an administration request for nearly *4O million to build three new type merchant ships, including an atomic-powered oil tanker. The money was included in a request by President Eisenhower for *1,522,673.000 to finance the commerce department and related government agencies during the 1957 fiscal year beginning July L It reduced the overall request by *140,670,000 and approved *1.382,003,000. “in turning down the request for the experimental ships the group painted out that the house merchant marine committee has questioned the administration's authority to build the vessels even if the money is furnished. The appropriation* unit said it was postponing Action “pending further advice and consultation" with the merchant marine committee.
