JAPAN SHIP LOSS FAST ENOUGH 10 2 Washington, Dec. 27. ifP) Japan Is losing troop and sup ply ships at the rate of more than one a day, fast enough to reduce her great merchant mar ine to insignificance in two years if. losses go unchecked in a Pacific naval war of attrition. United States and Dutch army, navy and air reports for the first three weeks of the war list 26 Japanese merchant ves sels as sunk or seriously damag ed by submarines or air attacks in Philippine, Borneo and Ma layan waters despite heavy nav al and air escort. Although Japan has 23 ship yards with 69 berths for con struction of large craft, her steel resources are limited and build ing facilities are believed to be far below what would be neces sary to make up for even half of such a rate of losses. At the start of the war Jap an's merchant fleet was third largest in the world, trailing those of Britain and the United States. In sea-going vessels of 2,000 tons or more it consisted of 898 ships of 4,754,699 gross tons. Of these, 717 were freight ers, 132 were combination passenger-cargo ships, 49 were tank ers and two were primarily re frigerated cargo vessels. Britain had 2,644 ships of 18, 806,379 tons and the United States had 1,150 ships of 7,078, 909 tons. RAILROADS SEEK E IN RATES Salem, Dec. 27 (AP) Eleven railroads operating in Oregon Saturday petitioned Ormand R. Bean, state public utilities com missioner, for increases in all freight rates and fares. The railroads stated in the pe titions they were confronted with unexpected Increases of cost due to the war.
