Washington. December 21 ? President C'oolidire has served
no'ice 011 the Senate that he does not intend to lie intimidated
in the making of executive appointments by Senatorial influence:;.,
the abrupt action ot the:
President in withdrawing from
the Senate two nominations
which had t>een favorably acted
upon because the Senate com
nvrce committee had rendered
an adverse report on another
nomination?all three for the'
L'nited States Shipping Board- ?
has behind it more than appears
011 the surface.
Chairman Kdward Farley of the
S'ii.i|itnu Hoard has been the center
of attack for wvrral wttka from dif
f?M?nt quarters. It was he who re
fu<> d to |M?rmit tho nmiiaulnc oper
ators to continue tlioir famous "M.1
0 ? 4" contract whereby their com
iui--ions for operating Government
were deducted from gross re-'
ceipts irrespective of whether the
Government actually made a profit.
It was lie who further incurred the!
antagonism of ship operators h> de
cli. inu to recommend a plan where
hy the Government fl<*et would he
Vol.1 at nominal rates or leased on
t<M tus that would permit private, in
to xts to hulld up their own busl
r.? -s with Government capital Iwk
ci' them.
Mr. Farley hasinot been the most
tactful |?erson hy any means in
ha illinu Congress but men who
co le to Washington from the bu*d
-s world accustomed to blunt and
?tiu-ct methods rarely are as suave
as- the |?*rson* who have been bred
1: the political atmosphere.
vll this may or intav not have had
s- ethlng to do with the adverse re
pot of the Senate committee on
coutnorce? the President doesn't
i;i. ?w. I'ut Mr. Coolldge has forced
t 1 fight into the open. The Senate
co .unitize said its only objection to
Mi. Farley was the fact that he had
tv ?*n appointed from the Great Lakes
? ?.ion when another man. T. V. O'
Connor was already serving on the
h. .ird and lie too comes front the
saiue section of the country, the
pr? m nt law providing that only one
member shall be appointed from
?-nch of certain* sections of the coun
try.
Cut tin- President points oqt that
the Senate itself confirmed tin* nom
ination of Mr. Lasker who comes
from Chicago- Mr. Farley's home -
while Mr. O'Connor of lluffalo win
seivtnc on the board.
!-*? ike technicality therefore, the
u nl reason for fl^lttin'i Mr. Farley?
Th? President Is well aware that
there an Interests hostile to the op
eration b> the Government even for
th? present of the merchant marine
and that there are persons who
would like to see the merchant fleet
kept In chaos so that other shipping
llnV* niiuht profit by the disorder.
Whatever the Influences are, the
Pr- -Ident Is not going to allow tin
hostile forces to tot the upper hand.
Mr. Farley Is a practical shipping
1 nin and has familiarised himself In
a lemarkahly short time with the
* ?o\? rnment'p problem. To re organ
*z< the hoard means further setbacks
and delays in uetting the shippinc
problem solved.
The nominations of Fred. f.
Thompson of Alabama and Pert Ha
I..-* of Oregon have h**en; vlthdr-'vi
1 'ot because then# men ar- In any
involved In the Farley contro
versy hut because the President may
f. I It necrssart to appoint from
their sections of the country a new
man for tin chairmanship in case
the Senate insists on the technical
ity.
