LAUDS FORD
SHIP DEAL
Pacific Coast Man Sees 1t as
Promise for Solution OF
U. s. Problem
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON.

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON.
The plan of Henry Ford to take
over part of the American mer-
chant marine was hailed in Con-
gressional circles today as a step
toward permanent solution of the
nations shipping problem.
The entry of the multi-million-
aire auto manufacturer into the
shipping business on a large scale
it was said, would strengthen the
shipping industry generally and
might promote a drive among
other captains of industry to
operate their own freight ships.
Such a drive, based on the pur-
chase of Shipping Board vessels
which are now lying idle, it was
added, would take the Government
out of the shipping business and
give the merchant marine the
great financial stability neces-
sary for successful operation.
Scrapping Opposed.
Fords reported purpose to pur-
chase 400 Shipping Board vessels
met with some little opposition.
however, in the ranks of the Ship
ping Board itself. A belief that
Ford would scrap most Of the yes
sells, it was said, provoked this
opposition. These officials pointed
out that they desired to see all the
vessels operated after their sale.
Ford, though, was reported ready
to place a dozen Of the larger ships
in commerce.
Administration leaders in Con.
gress declared they would help
Ford or any other industrial leader
to get a start in the shipping bust
ness through the purchase of gov,
ernment vessels. So far as Con-
Gress is concerned, it was said, no
obstacles would be erected.
Senator Jones Approves.
II would be delighted to see Ford
get into the shipping business on a
large scale" said Senator Jones
R.) of Washington, chairman of the
Senate Commerce Committee an1
author of the last "ship subsidy
bill. Judging from his success in
other lines of industry, he would
make a success Of shipping. With
his. financial resources, he would
stand the losses facing him at first,
until he could build up a paying
trade Transporting his own freight
probably would net him a profit "
Jones pointed out that Ford al
ready is operating three former
government vessels in transporting
Ford cars to England and to South
America.
Example for Others.
1T would be the best thing pos
sible," Jones added, "if Ford would
get into the shipping game on a
large scale"
Ford's entry, he said, might in
iuce the heads of other great manu-
featuring concerns to take similar
action. If any concerted move fol-
lowed, the shipping industry would
gain tremendous financial resources
and the government would be freed
of the constant drain of maintain
ing idle ships.

JAP BATH HOUSES
CALLED FIRE TRAPS

HONOLULU, May 15.-Japanese
bath houses in Honolulu's thickly
settled tenement districts are a
constant and serious menace, ac-
cording to an official report that
has just been filed by Fire Mar
shal E. P. Fogarty and Building
Inspector Lewis p. Ashire. These
officers found that. besides being
dangerous from the standpoint of
conflagration, these houses are fit
ted out in many instances with
old. deteriorated boilers, with water
and steam gauges long past func-
tioning, and that they are often
ir the care of women "firemen," !"
who, apparently, have no concep-
tion of the dangers Of high steam
pressure. Japanese bathing ar
rangements differ much from those
of Caucasians, requiring a central
heating system for water, which
is brought to temperature that
would be unbearable for a white
man.
