For Good Printing Call Main 125
Nationalists Fire
On U. S. Ship .
W A S H I NGTON, — The
American merchant ship Sir John
Franklin reported today a Chinese
Nationalist warship fired on and
hit it 12 times off Shanghai.
The message from the vessel’s
skipper was relayed to the state
department by the American con
sul general at Shanghai. It said all
aboard the Sir John Franklin es
caped injury.
The skipper said hhis ship was i
proceeding to Woosung, below;
Shanghai.
The Chinese warship presum
ably was enforcing the nationalist
blockade of Shanghai and other
communist-held ports.
The United States and other
maritime nations have refused to
recognize the blockade as valid.
The Sir John Franklin is operat- 1
ed by the Isbrandtsen Co., New
York.
The circumstances of the inci
dent were almost identical with
the recent attack on another Is
brandtsen ship, the Flying Cloud.
The Sir John Franklin sailed
Friday, November 25 from Hong
Kong for Shanghai.
The master’s message was radi
oed to the Isbrandtsen line agent
at Shanghai. It said the vessel was
not shipping water despite the 12
hits. The message was timed 5
p.m. Shanghai time, today, which
was early in the day eastern
standard time.
The state department announced
the report of the incident without
comment.
After the Flying Cloud was fired
on, a protest was made to the Na
tionalist government, then at
Chungking. The protest stressed
the peril in which American citi
zens aboard had been placed by
the shelling.
Reports from the American con
sulate on the shelling of the Flying
Cloud said the ship had attempted
to proceed, in disregard of in
structions, after being halted by a
Chinese gunboat.

Bill Robinson,
Famous Dancer.
Dies At 71
NEW YORK, </P) — Bojangles
danced his way upstairs again Fri
day night . . . fo rthe last time.
Death came to America’s great
tap dancer—the smiling Negro
with the twinkling feet—while he
slept under an oxygen tent with a
failing heart.
Once before, when asleep. Bill
Robinson had dreamed his famous
upstairs-tap routine—and woke to
make a fortune with it.
“I was being made a lord by the
King of England,” he explained,
“and he was standing at the head
of a flight of stairs. Rather than
walk, I danced up to get it.”
Robinson, 71, had been a pub
lic entertainer from the age of
eight. He carried his nickname,
“Bojangles,” for almost 40 years.
It meant happy-go-lucky.
He began as a little stable boy
dancing for pennies in Washing
ton beer halls, reached the top of
his world on Broadway and in
Hollywood, and made anywhere
from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000.
But was was almost broke when
he went to the hospital two weeks
ago, and his friends were arrang
ing a benefit when he died.
A few women throw themselves
away . . . but most of them take
pretty careful aim.
Reds At Outskirts
Of Chungking
TAIPEH. Formosa (/P)—Chinese
Nationalist sources here tonight
said communist troops had fought
their way to the outskirts of
Chungking, provisional capital of
China.
Thees sources said they got their
information by long distance tele
phone from Chungking, where
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek
was reported directing the fight
ing.
The Red vanguards reached
South Springs, 12 miles from
Chungking an da suburb of the
city, nationalist sources said. South
Springs is on the Yangtze River.
A Nationalist counter-attack at
9:30 p.m. local time recaptured
South Springs, these sources said.
The Nationalist government was
reported to have already moved
to Ehcngtu, 170 miles to the north
west of Chungking.
The tourist stopped at the farm
house. “Pardon,” he said to the
farmer, “what do you do with
that corn?”
“We eat what we can, and what
we can’t eat we can.”
The tourist looked blank and his
wife nudged him, and asked,
“What did he say?”
“I think he is off,” replied the
tourist. He said they ate what
they could, and what they couldn’t
they could.”
