Government doesn't own the bell, as it
does the original copy of the Declara-
ton; II might then be properly cared

Nixon Was a Fiaurehead.
Mr.. Schwao has practically controlled
the shipbuilding company since it was
ordered. His brother and personal
friends were on the comDany's hoard
and he had the backing of the Morgan
holdings Nixon appears, it is said, to
have been something OF a hgurehead
Nixon called a meeting of the board of
directors about two weeks ago, and
none of them paid any attention to the
call. Recently he called another meet
ing Of the directors and was the only
man at the boa-droOm at the time set
for the meeting. Following this Nixon
had a sharp talk with Mr.. Schwab over
the telephone and then resigned the
presidency Of the shiDbuilding COM
pany.
Mr.. Nixon said yesterday:
have nothing to add at present to
my statement of Saturday, but am pre-
pairing a general review of the whole
shipbuildlng situation which 1 may give
out in a few days. Ny interests are
identical with those of other holders of
