FOUR MEN PICKED
FOR SHIP BOARD
President Unable to Appoint
Them Until All Seven
Are Selected.

President Harding has decided on
four of the seven men he is to select
to comprise the new United States
Shipping Board and he would have
sent their nominations to the Senate
yesterday before it adjourned but
for a laSt-minute discovery of a tech
nicality which made this impossible.
This obstacle was not called TO the
Presidents attention until after he
had requested the Senate to remain
one day longer in special session that
it might confirm these four appoint
ments to the Shipping Board and the
nominations were all made out ready
for transmission to the Senate. There
was no disputing the wording of the
technicality, as it appeared in the
law governing the Shipping Board.
All Must BE Named nt Once.
The law stated that all seven mem
bers of the board must be appointed
at one and the same time. 1t per-
mitted no piecemeal selections. Mem
bers of the old board, according to
the administrations understanding of
the law, are authorized TO function
until all the new members have been
confirmed and qualified.
Until the new board has qualified
Admiral Benson will remain as the
directing head of the board. 1t also
was indicated that when the new
board is announced Admiral Benson's
name will be found among the seven
selected.
