District Will Save Coal
lin 5,000.Ton Fund for
Acute Emergencies

District officials kept today
tight hold on 5000 tons of coal,
borrowed for needs of dwelling
places, and planned to parcel it
out only in the most acute emer-
gency cases.
The coal was obtained from the
Potomac Electric Power Co. stock
pile. 1t will be distributed through
dealers under a strict ALLEGATION
system directed by the District
Fuel Co-ordinating Committee.
Committee Chairman j. Thomas
Kennedy said the distribution
plan has been practically worked
out" 1t is unlikely that any of the
earmarked 5000 tons will be used
Immediately, he said.
The plan, he explained, is to
make it stretch as far and as long
as possible. 1t will go to apart
ment houses and other dwelling
places only. to prevent widespread
suffering or serious direct damage
to physical installations, he de-
clared.
Weather No Help.
Somewhat milder weather to-
day. with a low of % degrees at
SAB am. and an expected high
OF 46 degrees, made no great
change in the fuel supply crisis.
The District forecaster looked for
a return of colder weather to-
morrow, after showers tonight.
The fuel committee scheduled
no formal meeting today. Mr..
Kennedy said numerous informal
conferences probably would be
held because Of the increasingly
critical" coal situation.
Although Mr.. Kennedy's COM
mittee has not yet received what
he described as "acute emergency
requests for coal from the 5000
ton ALLEGATION. Rent Control Ad-
lninistrator Robert Cogswell said
his Office has been "sWamped"
by complaints that apartment
house operators were cutting
down on heat.
Mr.. Cogswell said the landlords
in every instance informed him
they were almost out of coal and
saw no way of getting more
through regular commercial chan
nels.
In announcing the Pepco allo-
cation yesterday, Engineer Com
missioner Gordon R. Young said:
"The bituminous coal situation
in the District is increasingly
critical. That part of the deal
ers' stocks which was earmarked
for top priorities such as hospi-
tails will care for this small group
of users for some time to come.
But only a few days supply re-
mains in the dealers yards for
other users. When this is ex-
hausted, apartment houses and
other places where people live
would be unable to maintain
temperatures at even the lowest
level consistent with good health,
and the owners of non-residential
structures might be unable to
provide even the extreme mini
mum of heat needed to prevent
grave property damage in a cold
snap"
Gen. Young told how the Com
missioners appealed to Pepco and
how the company agreed to ear
mark 5000 tons, an amount it or
dinarily would use in two days for
Its own needs. The company has
about q 60-daY supply.

Nationa|ists Say Ships
Trading With Reds Are

air assault.
: The Pioneer Dale of the United
States Lines and the Flying Clip
per of the Isbrandtsen Line were
bombed and strafed by uniden-
titled planes yesterday off Tsing-
tao in Communist North China.
The bombs missed. But both
ships were peppered by machine
gun fire. One sailor was injured.
Chinese Nationalist Air Force
headquarters did not say it's
planes attacked the American
ships but admitted they raided
the Tsingtao area. In response
to foreign reports that the two
ships had been fired on. head
quarters issued this statement:
Nationalist are determined to
carry out the governments port
closure policy and therefore any
and every ship which steams into
a closed area is liable to air at
tack"
Blockade Declared in June.
The Nationalists declared a
blockade-they call it port clos
ure" to avoid giving the Reds bel
/. ligerent status-on part of the
China coast last June. 1t was
expanded as the Communist
armies swept over the country.
/ Now it covers all mainland sea-
ports.
American. British. Panamanian
and Portuguese ships have run
afoul of the blockade. Some have
been under air attack. Some have
been shelled by naval craft.
Others have been seized.
But none of these incidents oc-
CURED as far north as Tsingtao.
This port has been used regularly
by blockade runners in lieu of
Shanghai, on which the National
lists have kept a close watch. Pre-
vious attacks on American ships
all Isbrandsten vessels have
occurred off the Yangtze River
approach to Shanghai.
Protest Not Yet Answered.
Coincidentaliy with the news of
attacks on the Pioneer Dale and
Flying Clipper. the State Depart
ment in Washington disclosed the
Nationalists never have replied to
a protest on the shelling of the
Flying Arrow.
The Flying Arrow was hit by
Nationalist gunboat off the
Yangtze, January 8, while bound
for Shanghai. She finally went to
Tsingtao under escort of an
American destroyer.
The State Department said it's
protest noted that the United
States had information showing
"conclusively" that the Flying Ar
row was attacked on the high
seas-not in Chinese waters. It
declared the Nationalist warship
'resorted unnecessarily to armed
force"

Two New York Banks
Urge u. 5. 10 CurfaiI
n-EssentiaI Costs
BY The As.eeiatsd Press

NEW YORK. July 1.-Two New
York banks warned today against
the dangers Of initiation arising
from excessive nonessential gov.
lernment spending during Korean
hostilities.
The National City Bank, In it
monthly letter, said: "Presumabl,
the warming up of the cold wa
will mean intensified spending OF
national defense. With the Treas.
ury already showing a deficit, j
becomes all the more imperative
to cut down nom essential Fedora
spending to avoid feeding the in
f1ationary fires now and piling up
more debt -.
THE thinking American does
not desire public parsimony at
the sacrifice of good government
or adequate military prepared
ness. but he has the right to ex-
pect his Government to exercise
enough fiscal prudence to live
within its income in a time of
full employment and general pros
perity."
Both banks said it is yet too
early to determine the impact of
the Korean crisis on American
economy.
Cooler heads in business rec
ognize the danger of indulging in
any excited buying or selling or
other precipitate action, and the
necessity of keeping calm and
awaiting developments" said the
National City.
While the crisis in the Far East
is grave, there is reason to hope
that the prompt actions taken by
the United States Government. in
lmplementing the resolution of
the Security Council of the United
Nations calling upon all members
to render assistance in halting ag-
gression, will prove effective and
that the war clouds which have
gathered SO threateningly will be
disSipated. :.
Meantime the business upswing
has probably made new highs dur
ing June. From all indications.
industrial production generally is
running at or above the peak lev
els of 1948.
Few, even among the opti-
mistic. expected the recovery from
last years slump to carry to the
lengths it has. With business 60
ing full tilt at the years halfway
mark. confidence regarding the
balance of the year was, at least
up to the Korean episode, increas-
ing. The latter event has, of
course, injected new uncertain
ties"
