DECLARES
 SHIPS ARE NEEDED
Industrial Expansion Program
 Put Into Operation

Camden, N. J., Sept. lit (UP)- Clinton l.. Bardo, president of the New York Shipbuilding company, in a statement today declared that his concern has embarked on an indus trial expansion program which will make possible the employment Of from 500 to 500 additional workers month At the same time Bardo said that America is losing millions of collars annually through lack of sufficient American vessels to trans port our products abroad.
 There is no doubt that this coun- try is recovering from the recent period of industrial depression, Bardo's statement said. This re- covery, I believe, will not be in the form of a boom or high wages, but will be sustaining and sound. AL ready the railroads have increased activities. which, in my estimation. is a, fair barometer of present con- ditions.
 Tt is almost certain. however, that there will not be a return to former conditions of prosperity in this country until the people wake up to the fact that lack of Ameri- can merchant marine vessels to transport our products abroad, is. re- sulting in a loss of millions of dol lars each year. This money, which is being paid to ship owners of for eign countries. should be returned to the benefit of American working men.
 Few people are aware that so per cent of money spent in building one ship is returned in wages to the laboring men. Last year our trade with foreign countries amounted to eight billion dollars and in 1927 the United States paid s735, 5,000,o00 in ocean freight charges to foreign ship owners. By building more merchant marine vessels one-half of this huge sum which is paid to shipping inter- ests of other countries would go to American seamen and shipyard workers

British Sailors Become Laborers
 InEforts to Help Santo Domingo

santo Domingo, Sept. il R - British naval attachments worked like laborers today in putting this ancient capital back on it's feet
 At request of President Trujillo sailors from the cruiser Danae land ed yesterday to supervise cleaning of debris and refuse from the streets. thus releasing fatiguea Dominican soldiers who had had al- most no relief since the hurricane of Wednesday of last week.
 Men Put to Work
 The Britons came. in their white clothes and regulation helmets, but for only a little did they stand by as guards and supervisors. Tht:r officers almost immediately put them to work aiding the general recon struction labor gangs. Today it was evident they were making good progress in the task at hand.
 Under the tropical heat and the precipitation of their labors they quickly became begrined and thei. uniforms soiled. but they never halted their work.
 President Trujlllo has asked for detachments of United Sttaes ma rines to aid in the reconstruction, but it was regarded as doubtful here that they would be sent.
 Gives Medical Supplies
 The British cruiser turned over all of its medical supplies above those actually needed for an emer- gency to the medical committee and all surplus food on board was given to the president and the American relief committee.
 Meanwhile the technical person. nel of the British ship carried oi a survey of transportation needs of the vicinity with particular regard to destroyed bridges and commun, cations service so that repairs might be facilitated.

Lynn, Mass, Sept. 11.-OP)-
 Three men were injured, none seriously, at the Swampscott-Lynn line today when fumes in gasoline tank which they were draining were ignited and exploded, nearly blowing the top off the container.
 Harry Dean of Medford suffered second degree burns. He was taken to Lynn hospital, as was John Har- ris of Weston street, Milton, who suffered chest contusions when he was caught on a fence while run ming from the blast.
