Ship Head Asks U.S. To
Back Vessel Mortgages
WASHINQTON, Aug. 17.---)-La-
than D. Smith, Chicago steamship
and shipbuilding executive, told the
House merchant marine committee
today proposed federal insurance of
vessel mortgages would help revive
the shipbuilding industry on the
Great Lakes.
Testifying on a bill by Representa-
tive Cochran (Dem., Mo.) to have the
government guarantee mortgages /
finance construction of inland water-
way and coastal vessels, Smith said
the measure "offers encouragement;
which is very necessary."
Under Cochran's bill, mortgages
would be guaranteed in the same
manner as the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration now insures housing
mortgages.

blocked by trees and poles.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Mills and
their two children, Mary Jane, 8,
and Dean, 4, were in their trailer at
the lake camp when one tree fell on
it, another toppled over on their au-
tomobile.
New Warden Warns
Of Prison Overcrowding
JACKSON, Aug. 17.-(A)-Warden
Joel H. Moore of the State Prison of
Southern Michigan said today that
Americans and other foreign citizens living in Shanghai fled by hundreds into the International Settlement (above), seeking the protection of
American marines, 1,050 strong, and garrisons maintained by other powers which were mobilized for the "worst." Armed forces of both nations
poured by thousands into the Chinese seaport. Panic gripped the native populace. Streets and alleys were choked with fleeing residents of the Chapei
and Kiangwang areas, as the crossfire of Chinese batteries and Japanese warships battered native districts. Fires have ravaged the town and an
acute food shortage now menaces its inhabitants.
