Former U. 5. Ship
Lands Planes for |
China al Manila !
1000 Tons Of Munitions
Also to Be Stored Due
To Burmu Rood Closing
BY HARRISON FORMAN.

MANILA, Aug. 3 (N.A.NA9-A4
former American steamer flying the
Panama nag arrived here yesterday
with . cargo Of "a American war
planes and 1000 tons Of munitions.
The cargo had been destined
originally for Rangoon and for
transshipment from there to Chung
king via the Burma road. It was
deposited here because Of the agree
ment Of the British to close the read
at the request Of Japan.
The Japanese Consulate here Is
protesting vigorously against the
storage Of the cargo in Manila. The
shippers action indicates that plans
are In progress to. make Manila the
successor to Rangoon and Hong
Kong rs . depot for war supplies for
the Chinese.
Manila = Storehouse.
1t was learned in New York ship
ping circles that Manila is being
used as 4 storehouse for American
shipments until either the Burma
road is reopened or some alternate
route to the Chinese Is developed
probably via the Russian port Of
Vladivostok in the Far North.
The Burma road has been closed
for three months only and, since
this Is now the rainy season there,
shipments along that road would
have been hazardous, If not impos-
sible, anyway.
Japan's protest against the use Of
Manila warehouses to store NUM-
tions Is not believed to have any legal
effect. Japan never has declared
war on China and therefore has no
claim under international law to the
rights Of belligerent. 1t has never
been able to establish water
blockade around China, and such
blockade as exists is land blockade,
made effective by the conquest OF
ports and rail points Of entrance.
VIadivostok Only Port.
The closing Of the Burma road and
the cutting OH Of Hong Kong from
the Chinese by a Japanese army
makes Vladivostok the only port by
which American shipments can now
reach the Chinese. Ships going from
Manila to Vladivostok will have to
pass through the whole Japanese
Navy.
L w. Byrne, assistant traffic man
ager of the Port of New York Au-
thority, said there has been q reg
ular shipment from the United
States Of war supplies for the Chi
nese via Manila.
On July % the State Department
issued report Of export licenses
granted for goods to China for the
six months ended June 80. This
totaled t8,872, 900, and 90 per cent of
1t was trade in airplanes, airplane
parts. guns and munitions. However,
actual exports were less than the
amount licensed. For instance, ST.
10000 worth Of munitions exports
were licensed. but only $500 600 were
shipped-all in June and none In the
preceding five months.

Miss Grifilth's absence first was
noted, 1t was said, when passengers
in the plane noticed that the tenn
perature was not being regulated
The Associated Press quoted Deputy
United States Marshal Glen Nelson
as saying that an unidentified pas
senger told him that when the girls
plight was discovered, he had re-
vived her a bit. land she leaned
over and whispered something to
one Of the pilots. She was very
much In a daze" The stewardess
was in a hysterical condition when
removed to a Nashville hospital.
The luggage space opens from the
rear Of toilet compartment which
is reached through the women's
lounge. The luggage door, 1t was
said by q spokesman for the COM
pany here. is not kept locked and
there consequently would be no rea-
son for secreting the key.
In accounting for the bruises
which the examination Of Miss
GrifIth disclosed, 1t was explained
that it would have been possible
for her to have fallen in such 4
manner as to strike her side on =
seat that raises up from q side
wall and her head on the wash
basin.
Miss Grifilth, it was added, might
easily have collapsed in q faint, as
she would have been particularly
busy serving IA meals and would
consequently have been more af-
fected by the 10,000-foot altitude
at which the plane travels than
the passengers.
Discounting the theory that she
could have been attacked, 1t was
pointed out that seven passengers
were facing the rear of the plane,
and would have heard any commo-
ton.

Mystery Of Unconscious Hostess
In AirIiner Probed by Police
Swallowing Of Key
And Injuries Are
Believed Accidental

The mysterious circumstances
surrounding the discovery OF an
attractive hostess bruised and un-
conscious in the luggage compart-
ment OF q transcontinental plane
when q stop was made in Nashville,
Tenn, early last night was being
investigated today by state authori-
ties and ofncials Of the American
Airlines.
The stewardess, Miss Rosemary
Grifith, a, Of New York, still was
unable this morning to give q CO.
herent account of what had hap
pened, according to advices received
at the ofiices Of the lire here, where
the plane had taken on eight pas
Sengers.
American Airlines officials in
Nashville expressed belief that Miss
Grimth's injuries were the result of
an accident. The Associated Press
reported an X-ray photograph
showed Miss Grifiith had swallowed
the small key to the ships baggage
compartment. She also had bruises
on the head and body and hospital
omcials described her condition as
serious.
An airline ofIlcial said he was In
clined to believe Miss Griffith was
holding the key in her mouth, pos
sibly while changing her uniform,
and that when the ship passed
through rough air the Jolt caused
her to swallow the key and fall and
bruise herself.
Examination of the mail compart-
ment of the plane showed its con-
tents had not been tampered with.
Pursuing possibilities that the key
had been swallowed deliberately to
avoid having it fall into other
hands, however. the ladies' lounge,
in which passengers found the stew
ardess, was examined for finger
prints.
Checking with the Nashville Of
flee this morning, F. B. I. head
quarters here was advised that there
was no evidence of Federal crime
and that no investigation would be
conducted.
Nashville police were drawn i'm
mediately into the case and advices
from the Tennessee city today were
that two F. B. /. agents would be
on the ground.
The plane carried II passengers
when 1t left here. Included in the
group were postal inspector and a
chief of police, but local officials
could identify neither, explaining
that the passenger manifests were
in the New York ONCE. The list OF
the eight persons who had boarded
the plane in Washington was called
for Immediately by New York when
the Nashville incident was reported.
The plane, the Plainsman, ar
rived here at 5:55 pm. and took of
