Threat to
Freighter
By Wayne Richardson
ABOARD THE FLYING AR
ROW, Jan. 12 -(AV Danger of an
explosion today threatened the
shell-crippled American freighter.
Capt David Jones said "I ex
pect an explosion at any time."
The danger was due to expand

soda in the No. 5 bold.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11 -(P)- The
Isbrandtsen Co., Inc., said tonight
it is abandoning its efforts to get
its ship, the Flyingg Arrow, into
hationalist-patroled Shanghai.
The company said in a state
ment that the ship has been or
dered to Tsinftao, which it called
the nearest safe port.
Tsingtao also is communist
held. However .the company said
it did not anticipate any opposi
tion by the nationalist govern
ment to the. Flying Arrow's dock
ing there.
"We are not bringing the sub
ject up," said Hans J. Isbrandt
sen, president of the line. "But
we do know there is not the
mine menace there that there is
at Shanghai. We do not expect
any difficulty
Destroyers Withdrawn
"Anyway, in the condition the
ship is in, we cannot consider
sending her any farther than
Tsingtao."
The Flying Arrow was heavily
shelled Monday as it tried to make
its way into Shanghai against the
objections of the nationalist gov
ernment. (In Washington, the navy said
orders to two U. S. destroyers to
stand by the Flying Arrow had
been withdrawn, and that the
ships were directed to leave the
Yangtze estuary. The destroyers
had helped the Flying Arrow
make repairs.)
The company did not say
whether other of its ships, poised
for an attempt to reach Shanghai,
would be similarly diverted. The
statement said only:
Assured Protection
"We ;are not, however, aban
doning: or interrupting our regu
lar services to Hongkong and oth
er Chinese ports which we have
maintained for years and intend
to maintain."
Another Isbrandtsen ship, the
Brooklyn Heights, is scheduled to
sail from. Hongkong Saturday for
Shanghai.
Isbrandtsen said it has lately
been absorbing "the brunt of the
effort to maintain and protect the
American foreign commerce with
China j. . r.
The company said it was satis
fied with assurances from Amer
lean naval forces in the Far East
that navy vessels henceforth will
protect merchant shipping outside
Chinese territorial waters.

Brochure Explains
Underpass Project
Briefing the public on what might be done to improve railroad
crossing traffic conditions in Salem was undertaken Wednesday night
by the Salem long range planning commission,
Both tunnel and underpass plans which the i commission has
studied are explained in a printed
folder made available by the com
mission for interested Salem
groups. Engineer C. A. McClure
also is arranging club programs
on the subject
In another commission under
taking, steps were taken to ini
tiate protective zoning of ap
proaches to the Salem city air
port, which would require joint
city-county action. (Additional de
tails on page 16).
The planning commission, after
its two studies of railroad cross
ing traffic along the Southern Pa
cific mainline through Salem, has
gone on record favoring a regrade
project calling for a aeries of 11
underpasses between Mission
street and Silverton road.
This improvement, estimated to.
cost $3,500,000, was considered by
the commission more feasible than
a 13th street tunnel project cost
ing an estimated $8,000,000. The
regrade and underpasses could be
completed in three separate units.
The proposed tunnel as studied
would extend 4,800 feet from State
to Market streets, with open cuts
for the railroad grade at both
ends.
Commissioners have recom
mended consultation by dty, state
and railroad authorities to Pro
rate costs and establish a long
range construction program.
To stimulate public interest, the
commission authorized the printed
folder and programs before local
clubs and other organizations. Mc
Clure. said Wednesday his first
few approaches to clubmen result
ed in orders for nearly 1,000 copies
of the folder. For programs before
local groups he offered to bring
large maps to illustrate the proj
ects under study.

Security Council Seta
Action Without Soviet
. LAKE SUCCESS, Jan. 11 -Ph
The United States feels that the
security council can go ahead with
its business despite the Russian
walk-out, an American spokesman
said today.
With that in mind, he said, the
United States is ready to take up
the Soviet resolution demanding
the ouster of the nationalist China
delegation and then a proposal for
a world census of non-atomic
arms and armed forces. ,
The existing grade would be
preserved by following the present
route thereby saving money which
would have to be spent on grading
a new right-of-way.
A savings of about $25,000 will
be made in right-of-way costs by
using the old route.
Re-location - would demand a
new Pudding river bridge at an
additional cost of $60,000.
A re-located road would not
adequately serve the Salem-Silverton
traffic nor the "in-between
communities - through
which the present route passes.)
Proponents of the new route say
that it would coordinate with the
proposed Cascade highway; but
this project is speculative and
even if built its route through the
Silverton area has not been def
initely fixed.
