PACIFIC COASTAL SHIPPING DOWN IN | TEN-YEAR PERIOD SAN FRANCISCO, March 29— —cCargoes handled by Pacific Coast ports in 1949 were off 15.4 percent from 1939, the last normal prewar year, says the Pacific American Bteamship Association. Los Angeles forged ahead of San Francisco as the West's leading port and probably will remain the queen port of the Pacific Coast. These facts emerged today in a PABSA report on' 1949 shipping made public by Albert W. Gatov, Presi- dent. He reported’ that, with cuts in government aid to foreign coun- tries, shipping from Atlantic and Gulf ports has been slipping con- siderably more than on the Wesi Coast. NAVAL VICTORY IS _ CLAIMED BY NATL. (By Associated Press) At Taipei, Formosa, Nationalist Chinese claimed a naval victory over the Communists. The Nationalists said their warships routed two fleets of 100 well-armed Communist Junks south of Shanghai. The war- | ship sunk many junks and silencect Red shcre batteries 22 miles from Shanghai, it was claimed. Nationalist President Chiang Kai- shek delivered a fiery speech de- nouncing Communism. He called upon Chinese youth “to assume a holy mission of crushing the Com- munist traitors.” How o find a FORTUNE in your home! YOU are richer than you think!
