SHIPS OUTGROWING N. Y. DOC NEW YORK, Jan. 10—Ocean liners longer than the piers and\ too big for handling in any dry- dock available in the harbor, are giving New York port interests something to worry about. Heretore the Leviathan, Olympic and one or two other giants of the sea alone provided problems of handling their bulk in a crowded harbor, but now, with the two new German liners due in the spring, a British thousand-footer under construction and building of other large ships planned, the situgticn has reached the point where added and greater facilities must be supplied. The port of New York Authority several times has appealed to the legislatures of New York and New Jersey for construction of a dry- dock large enough to accommo- date any vessel entering the port) and for more docking facilities, es- pecially on the New Jersey shore. K FACILITIES to Boston for extra ex- now must be sent drydocking, causing pense of more than $32,000 yearly and diverting to that city since 1924 more than $1,000,000, which would have been spent here had facilities been available. American shipping interests have expressed willingness to use such facilities, pointing out that under the federal customs law their ves- sels must pay 50 per cent duty on repairs made in foreign ports. Although foreign ships generally desire to overhaul in their home ports, it is believed the work up- on ocecasion would be done here. Longer piers have been needed for some time, but difficulty is en- countered in meeting this need because of opposition to narrow- ing the river waterways on which they are located, * Several shipping companies have been investigating the possibility of building a new port on Long Is- an The Levigthan and other vessels! land. y 3 radio | HEARST FAKE " IS DENOUNGED BY SENATORS Indignation Sweeps Senate on Charges Against Borah and Norris WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—In a |spirit of indignation, the Senate has received a report from one of its committees branding false newly ‘discovered documents pur- porting to show Senators William E.

The documents constituted new set of papers which the com- mittee has been investigati retly during the past year. were disclosed as part of the Me as a ican documents printed in the {Hearst papers a year ago and | which the committee held were false. Discussion Revived The report of the Russian papers of the Mexican documents bringing the demand on the floor from Senator J. Thomas Heflin that an investigating committee indict Hearst for publication of those i papers, Heflin’s demand was then blocked by a motion of Senator Reed to discharge the committee from further work. Malone Again Named As in the case of the Mexican documents, Dudley Field Malone was named as intermediary be- tween Russia and the Senators who were presumably being paid in be- half of American recognition of Russia. All denied any part in the trans- action. Senator Reed said: “This would |be amusing if these spurious pa- pers did not deal with the réputa- tions of distinguished Americans.” Dencuncement ,l Senator J. T. Robinson, of Ar- kansas, arose to denounce the doc. uments as “damnable villian’ adding: “Let us sound a warning to the sensational crooks that the filth and stench they seek to ped- dle cannot find a market and if such crooks are found within the jurisdiction of this government, penalties appropriate to ' their crimes will be relentlessly im- posed.” —— Fifteen Huskies Are Being Sent to Byrd From Pacifie N.
