Taxes generated by the U. S. Merchant Marine almost offset the
subsidy it receives from government, according to figures just
released by the Committee of American Steamship Lines. This
subsidy makes it possible for U. S. merchant ships to compete
with low-wage-paying foreign lines and assures American farms
and factories of reliable access, at reasonable rates, to vital
overseas markets and raw materials.

Violent weather focused its fury
on south Texas and brought new
flooding today as it raged un

day across this storm battered
state.
High winds lashed the lush
lower Rio Grande valley with
thunderstorms that dumped up to
six inches of rglin. Heavy rains
extended over the entire coastal
area.
At least nine major rivers that
had driven hundreds from their
homes continued to spread out of
their banks.
At least 68 highways were
closed and hundreds of bridges
washed out across the state.
Two persons drowned at Dallas
yesterday and a Mexican couple
was killed by lightning across ,the
Rio Grande from Laredo.
At least 11 persons have
drowned in floods since the vio
lent weather came to Texas April
18 and several other deaths have
occurred on slick highways and
at bridge washouts.
Damage from floods along only
two rivers, the Trinity and Bra
zos, has been estimated at more
than $15 million.
