BLOCKADE HAS KILLED SHANGHAI WATERFRONT

Pusan, Korea, Decomber 11. The Nationalist blockade of Sino-Communist parts -mostly Shanghai—has many inexplicable leaks but it is still keeping tonnage to a trifling minimum.

Shanghai's waterfront, once among the three or four busiest dock areas on earth, is so dead that when an occasional ship sneaks in it's big news.
