Teamsters’ Leader Is
In Trouble With Mob
Established in 1536. just in time to graduate officers who
skippered ships carrying supplies to U-boat-beleaguered
Britain, the King s POint, N Y school is one of five fed-

era! service academies, attendance at which requires con-
gressional appointment The other and better known ones
are the .Army at West Point, Navy at Annapolis. Air Force
at Colorado Springs and Coast Guard at New London
King s Point offers an accredited four year college de-
cree with strong emphasis on nautical science and marine
engineering combined with sea-going experience Gradu-
ates are licensed deck or engineering officers and hold L S
Naval Reserve commissions
At the present ume, education at the l S Merchant Ma
nne Academy is free, as it is at the other service aca-
demies During the Ford administration, however, a bill
was drafted calling for tuition and board to be paid for by
the King's Point cadet corps
Supporters of the academy point out that the *37.000 cost
for four yean of education at King s Point is far below
what the federal government spends to maintain cadets at
the other academies and that imposing this cost on the
merchant marine cadets would virtually seal the fate of

Admittedly, there are fewer than 600 US flag-carrying

the nation s ports and terminals as well as specialists in
admiralty* law and marine insurance and officers for the
tugs and barges plying the nation s inland waterways
It * also argued that .by 1080. retirements among the post
World War II generation of merchant marine officers wiO
create a surge of vacancies, and that there would be fewer
accidents at sea. including oil spills,.if the men at the helm
had a thorough four year training instead of one-year cram

Last August a team of uve mgh school teacher^ ib
students from Elgin. Ill. and two others dressed and
equipped like La Salle s party, set out to duplicate the feat
They quickly encountered problems La Salle could never
have imagined the expedition s leader Reid Lewis, told
i cunous reporter at the half-way point in Februarv
One of the first problems was the city of Toronto, which
now lies across part of La Salle s route It took the latter

There was another tortuous passage through seven

four of the team were sides wiped by a truck and three of
