I Phone Medford 2-5851 ' - ' America Seeks To Recover Ships Sold To Nationals Washington, Jan. 19 (U.R) The United States sought today to recover 42 cargo ships it sold to Nationalist China. But it cased the blow by hinting that the United Mates would not al low the people on Formosa to starve. The United States sold the 42 freighters to China more than two years ago. But the Chinese have paid only a fraction of the price and now owe the United States $19,000,000 in principal and interest which they can't, or won t, pay. To Start Action As a result, American consuls throughout the far east are try ing to seize the ships and" start legal action to return the ves sels to United States- control. , Secretary of State Dean Ache- son struck an apologetic tone a.'i he informed the Chinese gov ernment that the United States was foreclosing its mortgages on the ships. He said he was con scious of the effect which the American action "unfortunately" might have on the economy of the Nationalist government Used in Trading Acheson's statement indicated the United States might take over other ships available to carry vital economic goods to Formosa, the Nationalist gov ernment's island stronghold off southeast China. State department officials were not sure how heavily the Na tionalists would be hit by the loss of the ships. Many of the vessels- were known to be Iran- ing between far eastern ports without touching rormosa. O&C, Public Domain Timber Up For Sale Portland. Ore..

People Ar Nlca To the Editor: People are nice. We've always suspected it; now we're sure. When we returned home from Tulclake in August, 1948, we put up a 18 by 32 foot tent house until such time as we could build a house. Time went by. Last Friday we returned from Medford to find there is a defi nite load limit for a tent and the snow had piled up fast enough to pass that limit. Saturday, Mr. Messecar set out to see what he could do about a roof. The truck driver bad gone from the lumber yard, but he came back. The clerk was about to close for the week-end. he stayed. There was no road, a logger waded in snow knee-deep for about two miles to reach his tractor, then he came and plowed out a road. A neighbor brought his truck and men re-loaded the lumber the driver from the lum ber yard had brought to the nearest point he could. When the men came, along came some hot dishes, for lunch. Yesterday we got enough root on to keep out the snow and Mr. McssecaryCan go on from there alone. To keen down any possible tendency toward monotony, Sat urday evening my mothpr's home burned. Since my lamer s cicam, mother has been away teaching. Her home was rented and many of her irreplaceable keepsakes were stored in a fruit room only about three feet from the corner of the house. Neighbors waded almost a auarter mile in knee- deep snow to the fire and, as the electricity was off, had only the hand pump to supply water. There had been snow on the fruit house roof. This melted and kept the walls cool until the men arrived. Thcv found the wall smoking but made snow oa in ana threw them to plug the vent ilator holes and keep flames out. then thev ran in and plastered wet snow on the walls, 'inougn her home is gone, mother still has her fruit room. People. I said, are wonderful. To everyone who helpcd-us, and to those who would have, naa they been aware, our most sin cere "thank you. Hcien messecar, Trail, Oregon.
