LOS ANGELES TO
LOS ANGELES, May 21.—Southern
California will contribute an entire
shipload of supplies of various kinds
for the stricken sections of France.
One of the great new steel freighters
recently launched by the United
States shipping board will carry the
cargo, and Chairman Hurley of the
board has given his sanction to the
undertaking. The plan originated
with the Chamber of Commerce here.
When the great vessel was launched
it was christened with a name cho
sen by the constructing company;
now it is planned, with the consent
of the builders, to rechristen the ves
sel “Los Angeles,” so that a vessel
bearing the name of the city shall
sail its maiden voyage, an errand of
mercy, laden with the products of
the country about Los Angeles.
Every community in Southern Cali
fornia will be invited to contribute
to the cargo, according to the local
sponsors of the move. When L. N.
Brunswig, who made the arrange
ments w'ith the shipping board, re
turned "home, he signalized his suc
cess by donating $1,000 to the cargo
fund; Harry Chandler of the Los An
geles Times and Oscar C. Mueller
made like pledges, and with these
sums as a nucleus the committee in
charge was confident that it soon
could have an adequate cargo in read
iness.
This will be the second relief ship
to be loaded by Californians, the Cam
ino having sailed with a full cargo
of relief supplies for Belgium in 1914.
