New Bureau to Dispose
OF u. S. Ship Interests

For the orderly and economic dis
posal Of millions Of dollars worth of
shipping interests built up during the
war by the government, a new section
of the Emergency Fleet Corporation has
been created by Director General Piez.
This is to be known as the plant
disposal section, with B. E. Grant, en-
gineer of the shipyard plants division,
in charge. Sale Of the corporations in
terests in wood yards, concrete yards,
steel yards and fabricating plants will
be effected under Mr.. Grants direction,
with view to putting the immense
shipbuilding plants into private hands
as going concerns, so they may con-
tinue for the benefit of the economic
welfare of the communities In which
they are located.
Termination of the war brought
about cancellation of contracts With
wood yards, and these will be the first
interests to be placed on the market
by the new section. In some instances
the wood yards will be turned over to
private owners, who plan to manufact-
ure wooden barges and tugboats.
Steel yards that are placed on the
market will be sold to individuals who
desire to continue building ships

Start on Honeymoon
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert H. fireman. the
parents of Captain fireman, attended
the ceremony and spent the day with
their son and his bride. At $3.50 last
night the couple left on their wedding
trip for Loon Lake, in the Adirondack
Mountains, where Mrs. fireman will
finish picture for which she has been
posing. 1t is "The Firing Line" the
product of the Famous Players-Lasky
Studios.
The bride announced that her career
as dancer is at an end, but that she

ures. Precautions were taken to keep
the time and place of the wedding Sc
cret, but despite this there was a large
crowd outside the church when the
wedding party left.
The marriage license was obtained at
the Municipal Building an hour before
the ceremony. When Captain fireman
and Mrs. Castle appeared they filled

Future Plans Unsettled
Captain fireman gave his age as
thirty and his occupation as "busi-
ness" His address is Cayuga Heights,

General du Pont
Is Named Special
Deputy to Enrigght
Political Status of New
Appointee in Question;
Is Member of Republican
Committee i'm Delaware

Police Commissioner Enright yester-
day announced the appointment of Gen
eral 7. Coleman du Pont, principal
owner of the McAlpin and Waldorf-As-
toria hotels, as special Deputy Police
Commissioner, assigned to Queens Bor-
ough.
Since General du Pont is resident
of Wilmington, Del, and member of
the Republican National Committee
from that state, it was freely predicted d
in Republican circles last night that
the appointment will make trouble for
him politically. The special deputies
are appointed under special war
act" and their relation to the Police
Department is supposed to cease at
the official close of the war.
General Dupont cannot serve two
masters said a prominent member of
the Republican Club last night. GAS
an office holder in the Tammany-
Hearst Hylan Administration he is
supposed to work for Tammany Hall
and for the Democratic party. AS a
member Of the Republican National
Committee he is supposed to work for
the Republican party and against Tam
many Hall and ali its ramfcations.
General Dupont could not be reached
yesterday, and it was impossible to
learn whether he had become a legal
resident Of New York City and a
Democrat, or whether he regarded his
"enlistment" under Commissioner En-
right as a "war measure"

judicially that on the very day when
the Director General issued Order No.

as well, Order No. 27, increasing by
several hundred millions of dollars an
