HOOKS OUT FOR JOBS.
Place Hunters Busy While the
PreSident-Elect Is Fish
ing for Tarpon.
By DdUid Laurence.
Especial Correspondent Of The Eve
nina Worldly

WASHINGTON. Nov. II copy
right, 1920 .-.President- Hard
ing may be fishing for tarpon, but he
probably has no idea Of the number
Of people hereabouts who are fishing
for jobs.
All the hooks known to politics
are in use. The persons who have
the real pull with Harding are in de-
mand. Plans are being made by Re-
publican leaders everywhere to bring
20 the attention OF Senator Harding
the names of those who want cab
met portfolios, Some OF this urging
is merely perfunctory. Many of the
men who present names will not be
themselves disappointed " Senator
Harding politely turns them down.
But aside from those who are really
seeking Cabinet portfolios, there arc
certain men who are being sought
not necessarily by Senator Harding
but by others close TO him. One OF
the men who is being discussed in tho
so-called Harding circle OF friends
nowadays Is Frank A. Munsey OF New
York, who Is being talked OF for Sec
rotary OF Commerce.
The intimacy between Mr.. Munscy
and Mr.. Harding Is not merely that
of fellow editors Mr.. Munsey has
been one OF the powers behind the
throne throughout the campaign
One interesting story given the writer
is that at a time when the Anti
League faction in the Republicar
Party were most apprehensive about
the effect upon Mr.. Harding OF the
advice rendered by Elihu ROOF, q
message was sent To Mr.. Munsey bS
Senator Harding reassuring hin
about the League issue. The message
left no doubt how Senator Harding
stood on the subject Of Mr.. Root.
To the outside world 1t may be
surprise that Senator Harding am
former Senator Root are not goinl
10 be as close as THE public supposed
There isn't anything personal In d
at all-simply n divergence of view
and difference OF opinion. Senator
Harding believes in exempting Amer
lean ships from the payment %
Panama Canal tolls, n matter GOV
cred by treaty with Great Britain
Fylihu Root insisted on standing Will
President Wilson on that issue an'
would hardly be able TO reverse him
self without considerable embarrass
rnent as an international lawyer
Moreover. Mr.. Root favors American
entrance into the League with prope
reservations. Senator Harding ma
eventually come TO the same position
but for the present he Is disposed
try out the Knox policy of kcepln
America completely detached froI
any world organization except on
that gives the United states an al
solutely free hand and without an
obligation, physical or moral.
Senator Harding feels kindly "a
ward the men whose views he shares
Mr.. Munsey Is one OF them, Senate
Knox is another and william Ran
dolph Hearst is another,
Senator Harding is showing
friendnness to the policies OF NJ
Hearst and Mr.. Munsey and the
two men will be more influential
the next Administration than any ty
editors in the United states nave eN
been in the past.

PAYROLLS PADDED
BY SHIP BUILDERS,
SAYS CLEMENTS
Assistant to Admiral Benson
Declares He Knew of
Interlocking Contracts.

Interlocking Contracts.
Commander A. b. Clements, cxccu-
tive assistant to Admiral william $.
Benson. had Of the Shipping Board,
to-day admitted TO the Congressional
Committee investigating charges Of
incompctoncy and mismanagcment Of
the Boards affairs, that the charges
made by j. f. Richardson in his tes-
umony were generally true.
He said that he was aware that
contractors building ships on n per
contago padded their payrolls and he
appointed inspectors and checkers in
an effort To stop the practice but
was not certain that he had stopped
It. He admitted that the insurance
and repair departments had failed to
coordinate with the builders because
Of natural human errors.
lie sAid also that he knew OF tho
intorlocIing contracts. but did not
appear to lay much stress on their
existence
/ Commander Clements further ad-
mttcd that "rake-offs" by captains
ana others OF ships in getting sup
plies was n well recognized" navy
custom, but stated there had been
little Of it going on in the navy re-
Gently.
1T is an abuse OF the sea-" he
said, adding that steps are being
taken to keep this down to a mini
mum. He said he had brought the
matter to the attention OF Admiral
. Benson, who said: eco the limit TO
/ correct all these Irregularities and
abuses"
Concerning alleged inefficlcncy in
the personal Of the Boards large stan,
Commander Clements explained tina,
during the war the Board had been
able to obtain the highest grade OF
men for responsible positions, but thPt
when their patriotism no longer i'm
the armistlco, It was ntcos sary to pro-
mote 10 the vacated positions many
subordiua .cs in no way mentally
eqaippod to fill the berths. The Board
had iittS to ouor to men of conspicu-
Gus ability AFTER the war, he said.
In half n dozen ports the board had
an organization which could check up
on fuel, supplies or repairs to ships,
Clements admitted, lie said tAat dur
ing the war and up until two months
ago the board had no system whereby
II could ascertain whether money was
being made or lost on ships. The
only way any conclusion could be
reached was TO send examiners to
ships-and that, he said, left the way
open to mIsmunugoment and m.sap-
preparation Of funds.
lie admitted that demands Of oper-
alors Tor additional advances OF
money were honoIod by the Board
even when the books failed to show
Iany profits from the operation OF the
, ships This brought from Chairman
W ulsh the question.
when are we ever going to learn
whether the Shipping Board has
