i. ). Won 'tLet Navy
Intervene in Seizure
Of ; Ships in China
By Gornett D. Horner

The United States today forbid
Navy Intervention to free three
American freighters detained by
Chinese Nationalist warships near
Shanghai.
The ISbrandtsen Co. of New
York, operators of the three cargo
vessels involved, had asked inter-
vention by the Navy.
Admiral Louis E. Denfeld, chief
of naval operations, telegraphed
the company today that "the en-
ployment of United States Navy
forces under present circum-
stances is not in accord with gov
ernmental policy as set forth by
the State Department"
The three American merchant
ships-Flying Trader, Flying In
dependent and Flying Clipper =
were intercepted by Chinese Ma
tionalist warships off the mouth
of the Yangtse River yesterday
and forced to anchor.
Effective Blockade Required.
The Nationalist government de-
clared last June that Shanghai
and other ports occupied by the
Communists were closed to foreign
shipping. The United States ad-
vised the Nationalists that it
could not recognize the legality of
this order unless they declared
and maintained IAN effective
blockade"
Secretary of State Acheson said
then that this did not mean the
American Government would at
tempt to run the so-called block
ade. The American position, he
explained, merely reserved the
legal right of American shippers
for damage claims in case of pos
sible losses.
The State Department is await
ing full information on the Incl
dent involving the three Isbrandt-
sen ships before deciding the
appropriate course of action.
Two of the vessels-the Flying
Independent and Flying Clipper.
were said to be outbound from
Shanghai when stopped by Nation
alist warships along with the in
bound Flying Trader. The out
bound vessels were carrying cargo
and passengers, including four
Americans, three Chinese and 1876
Koreans, to Korea, according to-
an Associated Press dispatch from
Shanghai.
The Flying Trader was trying to
enter the Yangtze for Shanghai to
discharge and load cargo.
Ordered to Drop Cargo.
A. P. Pattison, Isbrandtsen's
Shanghai agent, said he received
a message from the Flying Inde-
pendent captain saying Nation
alist .gunboat captain had ordered
the Flying Independent and the
Flying Clipper to transfer your
Chinese passengers to my ship,
then either dump your cargo
overheard or return to Shanghat
and unload it. After that you can
come out with your foreign pas
sengerS."
The two ships refused to obey /
the order. Mr.. Pattison, through
the United States Consul in
Shanghai, protested to the State
Department and the Navy and
asked intervention.
! The State Department was i'm
formed that the Flying IndepeEd-
ent and Flying Clipper had OBJ
tanned what they thought was
proper clearance before going into
Shanghai. The two ships were
said to have signaled a Chinese
Nationalist corvette for permis-
sion to go ahead as they ap-
preached Shanghai. The corvette
repeatedly signaled that it was all
right and theh followed the
American freighters into Shang-
hal and deserted to the Chinese
Communists in control of the
port.

Violence in Coal Fields.
Meanwhile, $4,000 union
miners stolidly dug coal in de-
fiance of United Mine Workers
pickets as dynamiting, rifie-f1re
and rock throwing became more
common in the coal fields.
Dynamite blasts wrecked two
tipples at Grass Flats in Clear
field County, Pa, not far from
Snow Shoe Mountain, and near
Morgantown. KY.
Robely M. Smith. president of
the Junedale Coal Co. at Grass
Flats. blamed the tipple blast on
UNIV pickets.
There's no doubt about it," he
asserted. 1T was an out-and-
out case of sabotage"
The regional Office of the UNIV
at Clearf1eld refused to comment
on the sabotage charge.
But 24-year-old Richard Huston
of Grass Flats, a UNIV member,
declared:
This mine kept operating when
it shouldn't have. These nom
union miners are fouling it up
for us. That accident is just what
should have happened"
Coal Convoy Fired.
No one was hurt in that blast
nor at the wrecked coal mine tip
pie of the Hawkes. Coal Co. in
Kentucky. Deputy Sheriff Tom
Cox said Kentucky police are in
vestigating the possibility the
dynamite was set off by UNIV
pickets.
A 15-truck convoy descending
Snow Shoe Mountain in Central
Pennsylvania was struck by
fusillade of shots yesterday. The
truckers were carrying non-union
coal from the mines to tipples
where the coal was to be cleaned,
crushed and loaded on railroad
cars.
State police officials said at
least IA shots, all apparently
aimed at the truck tires, were fired
at the police-guarded convoy. No
one was hurt. y
The State police took to the
woods, to chase the hidden gun
men but found no one.
Empty pop bottles and Jumps of
coal flew in Dover, Ohio. as strik-
ing miners stopped five trucks
loaded with coal.
Two Struck on Head.
Edward Schaar, q part owner
of the Schaar Coal Co. near here,
and Anthony Amicone, a Roswell,
Ohio, miner, were struck on the
head during the melee and re-
quired medical attention.
State and city police and
sheriff's deputies broke up the
battle.
Police Chief Frank Javens said
the trouble started when the five
trucks, loaded with coal from the
Schaar mine, reached Dover
gasoline station. Mr.. Javens said
more than 100 miners, who were
waiting at station scales, ganged
up on the drivers and on Edward
Schaar who followed the convoy
in a pickup truck.
Pop bottles stored near the gas
station and coal Jumps from the
trucks were hurled. Miners chased
Mr.. Schaar across the street and
into a funeral home where they
drenched him with a garden hose.
In Richmond, Va, the Gov
ernor's Emergency Fuel Commis-
sion held its first formal meeting
today.
The three-man agency, reacti-
vated Wednesday by Gov. Tuck to
avert a coal crisis in the State,
began mobilization of Statewide
forces Yesterday.
