Statement vw. WASIIIXGTOX. May M. (P) Henry Ford's willingness to buy 400 chilis from the shipping bonrd, involv ing a" large scrapping program, met with immediate opposition in some shipping hoard quarters. "While the view was exprensed thnt eventually three, or four hundred of tbe lnidup ships, including for the most part Inkers, wouM he forced on the junk pile, some of the commis sioners said thnt it was by no menns certain that the hoard would agree to nny wholesale sornpp:ng for somo time to come. No Offer Received It. was made clear that no offer from Mr. Kord had been received at the binrd and the members are await ing the return of Chairman O'Connor from a trip to Potroit nnd ltuffalo before fnrmaHy going into such a question. Commissioner Thompson said: "For a l'tng time certnin Anieriran owners and operators of foreign flag ships have been urging the destruc tion of a Inrge portion of government ships. Put none of the surplus ships of other countries are being destroy ed nor has such been proposed. Cost is Givon "It is costing approximately $.1(M each a year to keep the an r plus ships owned by the government. Their value as naval auxiliaries at this moment of world pondit'nn. cannot be acctirnMy measured. Their value as important units in an American merchant ma rine when normal world conditions are restored, is an addrd security to A meriran exporters, producers and consumers. Obviously, it would be greatly to the mnrine interest of for eign nitions for the I'nited States to destroy one-third of Its fleet of ships. "As yet, I have seen no sound rea sons advanced why the I'nited States of d!I nations, should weaken its na val auxiliary, and economic position In world trade, and stand alone in a pro gram to remove mrrlus ship ton nage." T PROTEST Dy TREES Protrst dgainst the cutting of a number of large fir trees on Oak street between Ninth and Tenth av enues is made by the Kugrne park board and at a special called meet ing this matter was discussed and a formal protest is to be made to the city council, it was announced to dsv. The council at the last meeting gave permission to have the trees cut after a petition of a number ofj property owners was presented.
