Conflicting opinions as to tlo advisability of the Immediate sale of the thirty former German passenger liners recently offered by the shipping board were presented to the senate commerce committee today by members of the hoard. Chairman Payne told the committee that reconditioning of the vessels for passenger service would involve an expenditure of more than ?75.000,000 and offered a resolution approved by three of the four members of the board requesting to put the ships on the market. All bids recently received for the purchase of the liners have been rejected, he stated. Recondition Ships. Vice Chairman Stevens, of the board, on the other hand, declared that the vessels should not be sold at this time as their true valuation had not been worked out. lie urged that the vessels be reconditioned before their sale. Kstimates of the value of the vessels received by the board, he said, had been made with 1 depreciation charge of five per cent while only two and a half per cent should thus be charged off. He placed the value of tho fleet at nearly $75,000,000. Opposing the immediate sale of the liners because of the uncertainty as to their valuation Mr. Stevens said the public was entitled to know whether the fleet was being offered at fair prices. More than moneywas involved, he added, and the transfer of the ships should not he. made until it was known that the best interests of the government were being served. Adnnta;os of Sale. The advantages accruing from the sale of the craft as they stand. Chairman Payne said, lies in the savin tr of the estimated cost of the repairs together with the uncertainty as to what conditions in the shipping industry would he after the six months or more necessary for the repairs. He added that government ships were not operated by the (CONTINFFP ON PACK FOUR. ) tniinnrt H fM&l1l y- . j-x - - DeSi) lie JT rOt eSt I'y A-v ir'-l Pre?: CHICAC". leb. is. Aitnoucn.
