Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy de-
clared last night the United States

on the worlds shipping trade
The Ambassador. who was chair.
man Of the United States Maritime
Commission before President Roosevelt

James, spoke at the annual dinner
of the Chamber of Shipping.
He concurred in the theory that q

From the standpoint of trade and
defense" he said, the American
merchant marine is dangerously weak
Ninety per cent of the entire

He said the United States has nc

JURY May RULE
ON MRS. RYAN'S.
C UILT TODAY.
Defense Sticks to Claim
Of Insanity
BY DOROTHY KILGALLEN

NEW YORK, March 81 U.N.SO.
Two word pictures of Mrs. Patricia
Ryan-one as a deliberate muir
deress," and the other as a
wronged wife-will be painted to-
day at her trial for murder.
The State, in its final summa-
ton, will claim that Mrs. Ryan
shot and killed Patrolman Michael
Ryan in fury because he had not
taken her dancing.
INSANITY ARGUED
The defense began it's final
argument on the ground the
dark-haired widow did not know
what she was doing, that her
mind was a blank when she fired
the gun, and that she was de-
Tending herself from a drunken
husband.
The defense has sought to show
that the youthful widow slew her
husband because Of allegedly i'm
proper demands upon her and in
self-defense, or while temporarily
deranged. Her attorney, H. Ben
nett Solomon. told the jury:
There are two points to be
considered, Cd the defendants
claims she killed in self-defense
while defending herself from
bodily harm, and (2) that if she
did not kill in self-defense, then
she was bereft of rt ason-in-
sane as a result Of the indigni-
ties she had suffered over
period of time"
Mrs. Ryan-slender, 81, the
mother of two children-may
know her fate tonight.
The case, entering it's fifth
week, is expected to go to the jury
late this afternoon.
PRAYS IN CELL
Mrs. Ryan, who spent the week
end in prayer in her cell, came
to court pale but composed, wear
ing the black garb that has be-
come almost a uniform. Every day
of the trial, she has appeared in
the same mournful costume.
