 ships owners, the Isbrandtsen Line of New York, to ask the U. s. state department to intercede for safe passage to the nearest port for repairs. Shanghai is the nearest port.
 Qn New York. H. J. Isbrandtsen president of the line, called for protection of the Flying Arrow by U. s. naval units. He. said the smelling of the ship was entirely unlawful according to information al law" ,...- ......
 CAccording to standing naval regulations" Isbrandtsen said, "the U. s. navy should protect American vessels on e.. the high seas and I hope it will be done in this case"
 Most of the smelling took place on the high seas outside Chinese territorial waters.
 Two Chinese Nationalist de- Stroyer escorts tailed the vessel from the time she passed through Formosa Strait on her northward trip from Hong Kong, They fired at least 38 shells at the vessel be- fore they scored a hit. But once their gunners got the range they poured shots into her. Captain Jones said the ships steering room was hit by II shells. After deck houses and one water tank were riddled by other shells.
 Qn Washington, the U. s. state department declined comment ini- mediately. Previously the state de- partment had repeatedly warned American ship captains to stay out of Chinese territorial waters).
 TAIPEI, Formosa, (P)-A Chi nese Nationalist navy spokesman said today a gunboat fired on the American freighter Flying Arrow to keep her from entering a mine field and being blown to bits.
 The spokesman said the nation alist gunboat Wuling fired for eff feet only after repeated warning shots and signals ailed to bring the American merchantmen to halt off the mouth of the Yangtze river.
 The Nationalist spokesman said the gunboat's fire was intended ony1 to disable the freighter.
 He said the Flying Arrow would have struck mine inevitably and foundered with possible great loss of life if she had not stopped.
 "The Wuling opened fire to save the Flying Arrow from complete destruction" he declared.
 Nationalist quarters here said the incident proved that repeated warnings against ships trying to enter Chinese communist ports was not huff

The total dollar loss caused by
mold, mildew, rust and corrosion
mounts in a years time to a stag
gering figure.
There is scarcely a home-owner
or tenant who, at some time or
other, has not experienced trouble
with cellars and attics that were
too damp and clamIny to be used
as comfortable living areas.
A new, scientific air drying unit
now available meets the need for
automatic humidity control. With
the installation of this electrical
air drying unit, cellars and attics
which were previously damp be-
come dry and usable. The unit
provides the simplest, most eco
nomical means of maintaining q
constant, low relative humidity
for the protection of stored ma
terials, tools and equipment.
Since this air-drying unit was
released for civilian use by the
Army and Navy, it has been put
into service in nearly every type
of house and industry.
1t is attractive and compact,
being slightly smaller than a
bushel basket. 1t can be installed
in a corner or on a shelf, in
fact, any place a standard no.
volt a. c. outlet is available.
Once the easy installation is
completed, simply set the humid
stat to the desired relative humid
ity and switch on the drying unit.
The unit does the reSt-draws in
moist air through dust filters
and passes it through a permanent
dehydrating agent after which the
air, clean and dry, is returned
to the room.
One unit will effectively control
the moisture Of 5000 cubic feet.

few minutes after wrapping
around a cable splice or tool
handle. The plastic base used
keeps this self-bonding tape f1ex-
ible despite severe weather con-
ditions.
The tape is unaffected by temp
eratures ranging from 100 degrees
to as low as 80 degrees below
zero Fahrenheit. The seal made
with this tape requiring no ad-
hesive material is a positive, per-
manent, moisture and air-tight
seal. It is, according to the manu-
tfacturer. unaffected by corrosive
flames, ozones, sunlight and oxy-
gen.
For application, the tape is
stretched to two or three times
it's normal length, then wrapped
normally. Available in both a
clear and a black form, it comes
| in 30-foot length rolls and in
half, three-quarter and one inch
widths.
Sandy Finish Wall Paint.
A styrenated Soybean oil paint
now available is a simple and
economical answer to the problem
of re-beautifying old walls and
creating modern attractive fln-
ish for new walls.
1t covers almost all undesirable
ordinary wall blemishes, puts a
durable decorative surface over
wallpaper, paint and wallboard.
While thus creating a beautiful,
durable wall, it also helps make
1t fire and moisture resistant.
This oil paint with the sand
finish texture can be used on in
teriors or exteriors whether made
Of new or old plaster, wallpaper,
wallboard, concrete. brick or wood.
The paint will securely cover
and cling to almost any clean sur
face without the need of an initial
prime coat and while it is capable
of covering a great variety of sur
faces, it is not a patching plaster
and cannot be expected to adhere
to loose wallpaper patches, looS-

or large holes or similar surfaces.
When only portion of a wall
is covered and dries before the
adjoining painting is done, the
fresh paint application should be
applied in strokes overlapping the

is applied.
1t may be applied in varied
prush patterns with a sponge,
whisk broom, putty knife or other
tools. It is available in white.

Ceiling Light and Fan.
A circular f1uorescent ceiling
light has just been made available
in which an 8-inch built-in fan
is inclosed. This unit will enable
many small kitchens to employ

the use Of q fan In what was once
limited ceiling or wall space.
Each unit of the combination
ceiling light and fan is made to
work independently or in combi-

troll.
One pull of the chain control
turns on the light, another the
fan, a third turns of the light
and a final pull shuts the entire
unit off.

representative of a Congressional

spending met with Gov. J.. Strom

Indion-StyIe Fighting in Korea
Would Have frustrated Custe,

strategically located roads, but
they are poor at best. A railroad
winds over the country from Seoul
to the southeast port Of Pusan.
From just north of Seoul. on the
38th parallel that separates Reds
from Republicans, to Pusan, is
only 900 miles by air. But 1t is
400 miles by railroad.
That 400 miles of railroad
crosses many bridges and goes
through many tunnels. It would
not take much sabotage to put
the railroad out of business. So
far sabotage has not been reported
here.
Airports are few. The west coast
is SO cut up by an indented shore
line and tide flats that seaports
scarcely exist there in uncaptured
areas. The east coast, facing
Japan. is cleaner line and af-
fords better sea landings.
Armor in country like Korea
must move by road. Anti-tank
weapons, carried on the backs of
soldiers, can be toted over hill
and down dale to flank the tanks.
That apparently is what Gen.
Macarthur is planning.
Because of the few airfields all
air support by bombing and at

Mrs. Shannon Clark
Takes Possession Of
Dewey Apartment

Mrs. Shannon Clark, wife Of
Rear Admiral Joseph j. SfJocko)
Clark today is in possession of the
apartment at $500 Massachusetts,
avenue NV. which had been
abandoned during the night by
Edward B. Dewey, granddaughter
OF the Spanish American War adj
miral, after a two-year eviction
dispute.
Herman Miller. attorney for
Mrs. Clark, explained that since
Mr.. Dewey had complied with the
agreement to vacate as Of last
midnight. further action was un-
necessary. Otherwise, he would
have to go into Municipal Court
for a writ Of possession.
Case Ordered Retired.
The apartment building had
been purchased by Mrs. Clark in
September, 1948, with the inten-
ton Of making it cooperative.
She had obtained tenacy Of all
eight apartments except that of
Mr.. Dewey. He had fought evic-
ton from Municipal Court to the
United States Court of Appeals,
which last February ordered the
case retired in the lower court.
The evacuation from the Dewey
apartment. however, does not
write finish to all the legal pro-
ceedings that grew out Of the
situation.
Last December Miss Selma
Sinclair. who. since was married
to MIR. Dewey, filed a suit against
the Clarks which charged assault.
Asking damages Of $500 900, she
said that when she attempted to
visit the Dewey apartment she
was seized roughly and violently"
by Admiral Clark and propelled"
through the glass doors Of the
building.
Truce Agreed To.
Meanwhile, under q truce"

the suit. Mrs. Clark was enjoined
from 'forcibly" entering the
