<BODY> <div> Harbor Carriers Banquet Traditionally Held In Spring Changed To Late Autumn The 36th Annual Banquet of the Harbor Carriers of the Port of New York will be held in the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel this year on a date, yet to be selected, in late October or early November instead of the traditional spring scheduling, according to an announcement made by William E. Cleary, president of the old-line New York water car- rier organization. In announcing the changed format, Mr. Cleary commented that a canvass of the mem- bers of the Association, which represents all of the owners of commercial cargo-carrying self- propelled and non-self-propelled freight ves- sels in New York Harbor, revealed a desire on the part of those who subscribe to the banquet to have the function held in the late fall rather than the early spring. T.J. Stevenson Elects Vice President-Finance Thomas J. Stevenson, Jr., president of T.J. Stevenson & Co. Inc., has announced the elec- tion of Morris Schechter as vice president- finance. Mr. Schechter, who becomes chief financial officer of Stevenson, recently resigned his posi- tion as vice-president and treasurer of Reeves Telecom Corporation, an American Stock Ex- change-listed communications company after over eight years of service. T.J. Stevenson & Co. Inc., are general agents in the United States for Netumar Line (Coin- panhia de Navegacao Maritima Netumar), a Brazilian-flag line serving Brazil from Can- adian, Great Lakes, and United States Atlantic ports; Peruvian State Line (Compania Peru- ana de Vapores, S.A.), which serves the en- tire West Coast of South America from United States Atlantic and Gulf ports and Canada and Mexico; and Dominican Steamship Service, S.A., which offers regular weekly sailings from New York and Philadelphia to the Dominican Republic. TODD DELIVERS 4OO-FOOT ALASKA-BOUND RAIL- CAR BARGE: The barge Attu shown on the ways before launching at Todd Shipyards Corporation (Houston Divi- sion) was recently delivered to Harbor Tug & Barge Company of San Francisco. The Attu is the first of two rail car barges measuring 400 feet by 99 feet 6 inches by 20 feet to be built by Todd-Houston for Harbor Tug & Barge. These are the largest deck cargo barges ever built in the Houston area. The unmanned, non-self- propelled barges are designed to carry 64 rail cars per trip and will be classed *A-1 for Pacific Ocean service. The Attu was specially equipped with 74 thirty-foot- high stanchions which will allow the vessel to transport approximately 12,000 tons of 48-inch diameter pipe to the Prudhoe Bay area for the first portion of the 800- mile oil pipeline to run from Prudhoe Bay to Fairbanks and across to Valdez on the upper rim of the Gulf of Alaska. After the maiden voyage of the Attu, the stan- chions will be removed and the rails will be installed on the deck for the vessel's second trip as a hydro-train. Delivery of the second barge Adak at Todd-Houston is scheduled for next month. uiHEnvou'REinnjnm GET HELP It's an ADSCO Slip-Type Expansion Joint (Type ISB) and it's used to absorb expansion and contraction in shipboard piping systems.
