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.

To the Editor: Jackson county

anyone who doubts this state

We, the parents of two small
children, had diphtheria during
the recent epidemic, leaving us
unable to work temporarily.
The Red Cross, the Jackson
County Welfare, and the Jack

us considerably with food, shel
ter and necessary medicine.
In addition to this the Elks

Medford firemen, the Lions club,
the Salvation Army and various

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

ilator holes and keep flames out.
then thev ran in and plastered
wet snow on the walls, 'inougn
