u. S. Ships May Be Freed

London. April 4 - One Of the first
results of the United States enter

tente Allies probably will be a settle
ment of the ong-standing controversy
between Washington and the British
government over the blacklisted "WaG-
rer" ships owned by the American
Tran satlantic Steamship Company, Of
which Richard G. Wagner is presi-
dent
When the case was postponed until
April 80 action was taken in the hope
that there might be settlement outside
Of the prize court. The State Depart
ment at Washington has shown great
interest in sustaining the American
registry If the ships. The vessels
involved are the Saginaw, kankaKee'

The new settlement. based upon
present conditions, may not result IN
the transfer of the seized ships TO
