SALE
OF WOOD SHIPS
Senator Fletcher Urges
Continuation of War
Building Program.

A plea for the continuation of
wooden stipbuiIding was made yes
terday by Senator Fletcher. chair
man OF the Senate Commerce Com
mittee.
Senator Fletcher declares that the
wooden ship has proved its sea-
worthiness and its value as a sup
plement to the larger steel carriers,
He says a propaganda against the
wooden ship has been started, based
upon what he contends are false
reports. He complains of the ef-
fort to stife or destroy an important
7 industry in this country when there
is no reason or sense in such a
course"
The statement given out by Sena-
tor Fletcher was in answer to let
ter which was sent several days ago
by Charles Piez, general manager OF
the Emergency Fleet Corporation, to
Representative Albert Johnson, OF
washington, in which Mr.. Piez said
that Mr.. Hurley while abroad, in
.tends to sell or offer to sell the
wooden ships which the United
states contracted for but which have
mot been started. Unless some OF
the foreign countries buy these
ships, Mr.. Piez says. the contracts
amounting to $50 in number, will
be cancelled.
Senator Fletcher is unable to agree
with such a course.

FRANCE LOOKS TO'US,
SAYS MISS MORGAN
Needs Aid, Not Charity. to Recover
from Devastation.

New York. Nov. 29.-Miss Anne
Morgan, who represents the American
committee for devastated France, and
who has just returned to America, to-
day said:
France looks to US for help, but
the French do not want to be con-
sidered objects to charity. The
greatest present need in France is
for farm tractors and other machin-
cry for development. The French
farmers have performed miracles in
the reoccupied territory, but the de-
vastation is so appalling that re-
construction must come gradually.
The wonderful fighting of our
marines at Chateau Thierry has es-
tablished America in a unique po-
sition with France. These remark
able warriors won for us the admi-
ration and respect OF the republic
across the seas for all time"

Markets, Thronged Before
Thanksgiving, AllBut Sold
Out; Entirely Deserted. +.

The aftermath Of the Thanksgiving
shopping was experienced yesterday
at the wholesale and retail produce
stalls. Unlike last year, when the
price Of turkey was forced down to
the ao-cent mark by the Washington
housewives who boycotted the royal
bird, turkeys held their own this year.
There was scarcely Thanksgiving
bird left on the market, except the
belated arrivals that came In too
late to catch the trade. Turkey, how
ever, will be forgotten now by the
poultry dealers until Christmas.
The wholesale fruit and vegetable
houses were prosaically dealing In po-
tatoes and onions. and the only bright
color their stalls contained was the
yellow pie squash that did not sell
this season. The statesmen attribute
this to the fact that eggs and milk
and sugar needed to make them pal
atable are costly.
In contrast to the hurried shoppers
of the pre-Thanksgiving trade, who
Jostled and crowded each other with
their bulky packages, the retail sec
tion OF the market was deserted. Only
casual purchaser here and there in
spected the displays at the tempting
stalls. Apparently well proyisioned.
Washington families yesterday were
dining on the surplus of the Thanks
giving spread.
That the Thanksgiving produce
prices were not inflated for the days
trade was shown when the quota
uons of yesterday remained the same
as Tuesday and Wednesday. This
may be due. however. to the ready
sales that were made and the small
amount of fresh foodstuff on the local
market No large shipments are ex-
Hectsd now until the Christmas sea-
Son in full swing.
