THAT BoKMAN APPOINTMENT.

From the Newark Post
Announcement was made last
night OF the appointment OF Miss
Jeannette Eckman, OF Wilmington,
as secretary to U. S. Senator dupont.
Miss Eckman leaves for Washington
today and will assume her new
duties at once. That the appoint
ment is a good one will be generally
conceded. No woman in the State,
perhaps, has had the advantages
and experience that her work has
given her.
Senator dupont by the appoint
ment of a Delaware woman of such
experience has made both an effect
i've and political stroke. This ap-
pointment, in view of the stand
always taken by, Miss Eckman on
all questions OF women's interests,
shows the Senator's appreciation OF
these problems. many of which are
now before Congress for considera-
tion.

Washington, Nov. "a (By
Associated Press. y Commercial
shipbuilders now engaged on
naval construction are greatly
concerned as to what the impend-
ing naval reductions mean TO
them and the government is be-
ginning to get reaction from
that quarter. None. of the build
ers who have visited Washington
however, has voiced direct opposl-
tion to the conference program Oh
the administration whatever they
may feel. Their inquiries here
it was learned today, have to 40
largely with devising ways ana
means Of keeping their plants In
operation.
In this connection, some OF the
builders are understood to be con
sidering what they might be anle
to do in salvage operations on
ships to be discarded and broken
up.
In some quarters it was pointed
out today, that American ship
