Kennedy, 81 Today,
Tolls 10 Get Ships
For Americans
Citizens Coming Up Out
Of Ground Embassy Says
As Crush Mounts
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 6.-United States
Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy OBJ
served his 51st birthday anniver-
sary today working in his Office with
coat of and shirtsleeves rolled, try
ing to get Americans out of Great
Britain.
A birthday party was planned for
him by Mrs. Kennedy tonight, but
the Ambassador was not certain he
would be there to cut the cake. All
members of the Kennedy family
were in London and were to be at
the birthday dinner except Joseph,
jr., and Jack, one of whom was
going to Glasgow during the day to
canvass the situation regarding
Athena survivors.
Plans for Mrs. Kennedy and some
OF the children to 60 home were
indefinite pending further informa-
ton on ship accommodations.
Vessels of Any Kind Sought.
Ambassador Kennedy was said to
be urging Government officials in
washington to start American YES
sells for England Immediately but
lacked assurance it would be done.
All regular American and neutral
boats were said to be booked fully
until mid-October. British ships
also had full bookings, but many
Of them were being Cancelled as
result of the Athena disaster. For
the same reason British boats were
being avoided by Americans.
An overworked staff at the en-
bassy was seeking accommodations
on every American tramp steamer
or any other kind of ship. Ar
rangements were made to get q
Americans on the American cargo
ship, after its crew voted to give
up their own berths.
At the American Embassy a staff
was kept on 24-hour duty, seeking
accommodations and handling the
crowds Of Americans besieging the
building.
"T'hey seem to be coming up out
of the ground" one embassy official
said, explaining the numbers were
far exceeding those believed to be
resident or touring the country.
At the end of its recourceS tenn
porarily for getting them home, the
embassy was advising Americans to
go to less dangerous places in the
country to await more ships. This
imposed additional work on the en-
bassy staff in keeping up with their
whereabouts. Most of them were
being sent to places near ports.
The Athena disaster further COM
plicated the problem and efforts
were being made to get these sur
vlvors home as quickly as possible
because of the strain they had un-
dergone and the natural anxiety of
their relatives at home.
Many Survivors Lack Funds.
AS soon as they were brought to
safety and recovered from their
experiences the Athena survivors be-
gan pressing American consulates
for passage. Many of them were
without funds and, like all other
Americans, they faced a waiting pc
riod.
There's nothing afloat, either
American or neutral, that's left
now" an Embassy official said.
The problem was considered urgent
at the Embassy not only because of
the danger existing for those re-
manning but also because of the
possible effect on American opinion
If American casualties should occur.

Speakers Describe
New Spirit Among
Chinese People

Two speakers, eye-WitneSSes to
battle scenes in China, told mem
bers of the Women's National Press
Club at luncheon yesterday of diff
culties encountered by the Japanese
invaders and of the new spirit de-
veloping among the Chinese people.
Miss Booker, in private life Mrs.
John Potter, who went to China in
1922 as one of the first newspaper
women on the China Press of
Shanghai, brought up-to-date news,
having arrived in this country
from the Orient five weeks ago.
Japan is up against spirit she
can't understand" said Miss Booker.
at is a very subtle spirit which
can't be regimented. Nine. Chang
Kai-shek, Miss Booker said, is in
her opinion the greatest woman in
the world today. The constructive
work that the wife of China's gen.
eralissimo has already accom-
plshed in building up the new
country to the west. is remarkable,
she added. Miss Booker told of
her friendship of many years with
Chinas first lady with whom she
played tennis, and with Nine. We'll
lington Ku, with whom she played
poker.
The opening up of Western China
has brought additional riches, Miss
Booker said. Engineers declare
they have already discovered
enough gold in the new mines to
pay for the war in China" she added.
Accounts of his experiences as a
missionary in Kiangsi Province were
told by Father Frederick Gehring,
who said he had seen Communism
virtually disappear since the occu-
patton of China by the japanese.
One bandit chief. with an army of
5000 soldiers, turned red to white"
within a short time after the Jap
anese invasion, Father Gehring said,
and his army has done effective
guerilla work since that time for
the Chinese cause. Father Gehring
returned to this country in June
after six years with the Vincentiar
Mission in Kanchow. He plans to
return to continue his work next
June
Miss Eleanor Bumgardner, per-
sonal secretary to Attorney General
Frank Murphy, and Mildred Sey-
