SHIPPING BOARD
WANTS EXTENSION
Of ITS POWER


WASHINGTON, April 4.-Vast ex-
tension Of federal powers over ship
building, ships, shipping rates, docks
and terminals, has been asked of
congress by the shipping board and
is proposed in two bills introduced
Yesterday by Senator Fletcher Of
Florida, chairman of the commerce
committee, after conferences with
Chairman Hurley,
"The President would be author
lied BY the legislation to prescribe
through the shipping board charter
and freight rates and to take over
ships, docks. wharves and terminal
facilities in one bill, and the other
measure. amending the law creating
the shipping board would extend It's
authority over ships and transfer
of vessels, existing or under con
struction. Both bills have been re
ferred to the commerce committee
In explaining the new legislation
yesterday Senator Fletcher said the
shipping board had discovered ano
thwarted attempts of German capita
to secure control of vessels owned
or under construction in the Unitet
states for present profit as well al
to provide Germany with a merchan
fleet after the war. To enlarge tn
powers of the board to deal will
such attempts is one of the chief pun
poses of the proposed law.
