Shippers Now Consider
Embargo on All

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept.
7. (UP)-Intercoastal ship
pers may order an embargo
on cargo destined for the
ports of San Francisco and
Oakland until after the maritime
tieup brought by the Transfers
union is settled, it was announced
today.
Meanwhile, the American Fedora
ton of Labor teamsters prepared
to halt deliveries at all East Bay
docks tomorrow, thus virtually clos
ing San Francisco Harbor to traffic
in water borne merchandise.
The threat by intercoastal steam
ship lines was seen as a serious
turn in the jurisdictional dispute
between the A. F.. of l.. and the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton which for a week has kept
incoming cargos piling up on San
Francisco docks.
If intercoastal ships are routed to
other ports, more than SO per cent
of the normal maritime receipts
here would be cut off.
FAC T. George, Pacific coast rep
resentative of the Intercoastal
Steamship Freight association, saio
action by the shippers "is due any
minute. The docks have become
so congested now that something
must be done"
DisSension within the ranks OF
organized labor in San Francisco
broke out after leaders of the pow
erful Teamsters union charged that
the longshoremen were attempting
to take over their members and
force them into the C. 1. o. ..

THE best theatrical productions:
Richard H." by William Shake
speare. Producers, Eddie Bowling,
hoofer, clown, official jester to the
New Deal court, and Robinson Smith,
young man who likes nice things.
Director, Margaret Webster, an Eng
lish woman who brought to her task
all the considerable variety of talent
it required. Exactly where she left
off and her actors, with particular
reference to Maurice Evans and Au-
gustin Duncan, began, is impossible
to say, but all together made a play
that has been dead to New York since
1875, not only an event, but a smash
hit.
THE Tragical History Of Doctor
Faustus," by Christopher Marlowe.
Produced by w. P. A. Orson Welles
and John Houseman, borrowing from
the twentieth century's magic only it's
lights, have managed to convey to a
modern audience exactly all the ex-
element an EiZabethan audience must
have felt at seeing this compound
Of the black arts.
THE Eternal Road" in which Max
Reinhardt has produced some of the
most overpoweringly beautiful mass
lngs these sad eyes have ever glowed
over.
Power" another w. P. A. produc-
ton, singled out because. as the third
and best of THE Living Newspaper"
projects, 1t made walloping success
OF new form which ranks as a
genuine contribution to the art of
theatrical entertainment.
THE worst theatrical production:
Delos Chappell's job OF work on
Robert Turney's Daughters of At

casting and ruinous direction pre-
vented remarkable play from getting
more than four day hearing.

You can readily perceive the SIM

cepting the coin and moving your
foot from the accelerator to the
brake in an emergency. At 40 miles
per hour, you travel so feet in l sec
ond. II your reaction time is y sec
ond, your car will have travelled 80
feet between the time you recognize
dangerous situation and the time
you get your foot on the brake. This
has nothing to do with stopping the
car; the brake action has yet to take
place. Four-wheel brakes in good
condition may stop your car in an
additional 80 feet. Total distance

At so m. p. h., reaction time would
consume SO feet, braking, 1875; total

Note that twice the distance is nee
