be James W. Lee, athletic director
at Wildly High school since 1926 Lee,
Crosby graduate of 1919, is a quail
flied athletic director acceptable to

uate of 1923 from the Arnold Col
lege of Physical Education in New

A Shipping Snog

London, July l0.-UP)-Japan
has struck a shipping shortage in
her efforts to exploit her conquered
domains but still could withstand a
year of blockade, reliable informa-
ton reached British sources indi-
Gated today.
The pre-war Japanese merchant
fleet of 100000 tons has been
shaved to 100000 tons by losses,
it was reported, and has forced
Tokyo to order drive to construct
wooden vessel of 100 to 200 tons to
replace the sunken steel craft.
While Japan was said to be able
to take home from the rich sub
jugate countries enough raw ma
terials to maintain her current re-
quirements, it was doubted that she
could expand her present economic
basis without new shipping.
