of officials Of the board here in Wash

The reports are vigorously denied
by John Barton Payne, chairman q
the Shipping Board. But when asked
whether it was Ekely that the pres
ent reports are due to an organized
propaganda, Chairman Payne said
" think it very probable. There IS
no serious basis for the charge that
