U. S. Destroyers
Will Escort ‘Flying
Arrow’ To Port
(Continued from Page One>
rather than risk the danger of a
Shanghai voyage.
The HongKong agent for the
operators of both ships, the Is
brandtsen Line of New York, said
he hoped the presence of the two
destroyers near the Flying Arrow
would clear up the status of the
Chinese blockade as far as Ameri
can shipping is concerned.
The American state department
does not recognize the blockade.
But it has warned American ships
to stay out of Shanghai waters.
And it advised sailors of the Fly
ing Arrow and Brooklyn Heights
they could sign off in Hong Kong.
In Bangkok, Thailand (Siam>,
Vice Adm. Russell S. Berkey,
commander of the U. S. Seventh
Task Force, said naval protection
would be afforded American mer
chantmen on the high seas but not
in Chinese territorial waters.
Aboard the Flying Arrow, {JP)—
Crewmen patched up this shell
crippled American freighter today
enough to permit her to limp to
the nearest port.
But Capt. David Jones of Chi
cago, her master, said he did not
yet know where he would take
her—Shanghai, her original des
tination, or elsewhere.
A Chinese Nationalist gunboat
shot her full of holes Monday and
crippled her steering gear. .
The attack occurred on the high
seas, at least 20 miles from shore.
The gunboat has shadowed her
ever since. The gunboat has re
mained at a distance varying from
300 yards to eight miles away.
Captain Jones said he was in the
same position he was in before the
attack—awaiting instructions from
her operators, the Isbrandtsen
Line of New York, on whether to
proceed to Shanghai or some other
port.
Two American destroyers have
offered to escort the Flyin Arrow
to any port except Shanghai.
Shipload Of War
Vehicles Sent To
Nationalists

Marta T. A. S. of Istanbul. Turkey.
Agents for the ship, B. H. Sobel
man & Co., Inc., said the ship will
depart next week. The agents de
clined to give detailed information
on the consignment, stating an
agreemet with the Turkish com
pany prohibits release of any
news reports to the press.
WASHINGTON, (A*) — More
trainloads of American made tanks
and other arms probably will soon
be on the way to the Chinese Na
tionalists on Formosa.
Diplomatic authorities said to
day that 300 tanks and armored
cars being put aboard a Turkish
freighter at Philadelphia repre
sented only a part of the belated
deliveries of orders the National
, ists placed in this country last
I year. They were paid for from the
$125,000,000 Congress voted in
1948 for military aid to China.
Although President Truman has
ruled out any further American
military aid to keep Formosa
from capture by the communists,,
the government has been helping
speed the completion of orders al
ready placed. The shipment at
Philadelphia came from an army
ordnance depot at Lima, Ohio,
Some earlier shipments went via
U. S. naval vessels.
Officials say there is no con
flict between this action and Mr,
Truman’s thumbs down declara
tion of last week. The National
ists already have title to the muni
tions now being shipped, having
checked out the last of the $125,
000,000 fund from the treasury
months ago.
