Osone is in the United States to study the methods and practices in | the schooling of the deaf. which he may | take back to Japan for introduction in similar institutions there. Osone has taught deaf youths in his native Japan for 10 years, during which time he has nurtured a strong ambition | to make his present study-tour of the United States.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1929, FAVORS MAIL BIDS OF EX-U. . SHIPS, Board Would Give Awards to Purchasers Regardless of Lowest Offer. ‘The United States Shipping Board in its annual report today declared that | the Government was under obligation to award ocean mail contracts to the purchasers of Shipping Board lines. This recommendation is in direct} contradiction to the Interdepartmental Commission, which held that contracts should go to the lowest bidders, regard- less of whether they were former Gov- ernment vessels. ‘The board stated that although it) had been careful to avoid establishing ing American flag lines, American op- erators of foreign flag tonnage had un- derbid a purchaser of Shipping Board vessels. The board reported that the end of the fiscal year (June 30), it had dis- posed of all but 552 of the original fleet of 3,400 vessels left it at the end of the war. Of these 233 were report- ed in active service and 319 laid up. During the year the board sold for ap- proximately $29,000,000 a total of 266 vessels, including 11 passenger, 168 cargo, 3 refrigerator ships, 9 tankers and 75 miscellaneous vessels. Sale of the United States Lines for $16,082,000 was the principal item. ‘The board noted material reduction of the administrative costs of the Mer- chant Fleet Corporation, attributed to rapid liquidation of the fleet. The Fleet Corporation’s total operat- ing loss was placed at $13,665,000 or $2,614,000 less than for the preceding year. 7 During the year the board advanced on_construction loans out of the $250,- 000,000 fund set up by the Jones- White act, $6,728,790, and approved ap- plications for $14,524,540.

He denied that stu- | dents wewe being used as paid informers and added that any information from undergraduates had come voluntarily, “To my way of thinking,” he said, “The students are co-operating in a real honest desire to rid their dormi- torles of the bootlegger pest.” Six students are known to have visited | Maj. Goodnough last Friday. The next | day two men were arrested near the college yard after they had received | $135 in marked money given them by two young men in exchange for a case of whisky., The bootleggers pleaded with the officers to release the young men, saying they were innocent. The young men were released, but later they and four others met the Federal agents again.
