Bernard Baruch, chairman of the
War Industries Board has appeared
before the committee several times

to the rumor of the forthcoming
metals administrator.
Some little hitch has developed be-

the shipping Board over the deliver

Edward N. Hurley, chairman Of the
shipping Board, said last night that
the trouble was that priorities had
been given to q great quantity of

as the shipping program. It is said
that steel producers contend that

No reason for the restriction was
assigned. and suggestions that goods
