OPERATION OF MERCHANT
 MARINE DISCUSSED

Washington, May 23.-Private own ership under federalN control was the consensus of opinion expressed at the shipping boards conference to discuss peace time operation of the merchant marine summed up in an address at the closing session today by John l.. Hamilton of Columbus. O.. represent ing the American Bankers associa- tion.
 Proponents of government ownership were in the minority at the conference, representing chiefly agricultural or ganizations which expressed fear that sale of the government built ships to private companies would result in rates and routes favorable to industrial exports at the expense of farm prod ucts. Numerous speakers. including P A. $. Franklin and Frank Munson of the American Steamship Owners as sociation, declared this fear to be un- founded.
 Mr. Hamilton said the present ship ping board offered the nucleus of an organization which would be to the American shipping world what the federal reserve board is to banking, The extent to which the government would supervise the industry was the subject of great variation in opinion among the speakers. however.

The Italians feared this might be the fate of the Budapest Gallery containing such priceless works as Raphaers Ma donna.
 Professor q Ancona stated that the Italian claims fall under three heads First, indemnities for art works, val ued at 10,000. .000 destroyed by the Austrians in Italy during the war. in cluding the air raids at Venice. An coma, Padua. Rayenna and other points; second works which have been stolen from Italy in the past; third works which logically belong to territory now occupied by Italy or about to become her property. includ- ing Pola. Lissa Island and Fiumc. There are also provisional claims for Italys share which belong to her historically in case the museums Of Vienna and Budapest should be di- vided among the nations of the for l rner empire, the Czechs having already submitted a similar claim.
 Professor q Ancona said that among the works of art restitution of | which is demanded by Italy are IS ! paintings, of which only one is not i Italian, the exception being the larger 1 of two portraits of Rembrandt. These 1 eighteen works have been valued at about S5,00O000 Other notable works 1 claimed are RaphaePs Madonna del Prato: Jupiter and To. by Correggio: l five other CorreggioS of the twenty that are in the Austrian Imperial Mu- ] scum: Titian's Madonna Delle Ci- 1 leege: Moretti's San Gustina: and two l Tintorettis, one being Susanna and the i Elders.
