Washington, May 17. The contents
of a letter jointly signed "by seven
Southern Senators and forwarded to
Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the
United States Shipping Board, leaked
out today in whic insistent ..request
is mad for th allocation of fourteen
ship for commerce between the South
Atlantie ports aad Latin-America. The
communication wa written subsequent
to th allocation of sii cargo carrying
vessels to Wilmington, Savannah, Jack
sonville, Brunswick and Charleston.
Th unyielding attitude of the South-
era Senators indicates that the South
Atlantie Maritime Corporation will not
be content with lee than fourteen ves
sel.
?W have gone over- the lit of over
Ave hundred chip allotted to eompa
nie in other ports, end wa (nd it
difficult to underiUnd why th faeili
tie requested for the Southeastern
ports are not furnished, is the straight
forward challenge made to th chair
man of the shipping board. I
"We are deeply Interested in th sub
ject ef shipping from Ue Soutbeastera
ports and we feel that we are justified
ia urging you to furnish the means to
accomplish the result, reads a para
graph in th latter lent Chairman Hur
ley.
Appreciation for the allocation of the
is Mips is expressed in the communica
tion, but th ton of th letter make
emphatic its position of accepting the
sis ships assigned only ae "part nav-
meat" of the fuii claims to fourteen
hips. So far so good, la the vernacular
that reflects the contents of the let
ter. A report from Matthew Hale of
Wilmington, president of the South At

Ution special consideration.
