Harding Acts
On 800 Million
In Ship Claims
Board OF Three, Including
Lawyer and Technical
Man, TO Review and Pare
Bills Against Government
Lasker Faces Big Task
Situation Not Encouraging
and Long Pull Needed
for Adjustment, He Says
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON. June 20.-President
Harding to-day decided on steps for
the adjustment Of claims against the
government aggrcgating almost $780,
o0o,000 growing out OF Shipping Board
contracts. On the recommendation of
the new board he will appoint q COM
mission on claims, which will consist
OF three members, one lawyer, one au-
ditor and one technical man.
All, it was announced at the Ship
ping Board Offices, will be men of ma
tional reputation. While the board will
not pick the men, it was made known
that Chairman Lasker recommended
individuals to the President in a con-
ference this morning.
AS the new Shipping Board has gone
into the task confronting it the men,
bers have become less and less op-
timistic.
Frankly, the situation does not look
encouraging now. and am afraid it
will be some time before it does be-
come encouraging" said Chairman
Lasker this afternoon.
ut is a job for an undertaker-per-
haps | should say a receiver. We
must get the best we can out of the
situation, but it will take long, patient
pulling. Nothing spectacular can be
done at once which will right the
thing. wish the public could come
to look this shipping situation in the
face, and to regard it as l do, as a
n M Ccrytp
a disabled soldier and must be handled
as SUCH
Members of the board are particular
ly anxious, they explained to-day. not
to have any ambitious or rosy views
presented to the public. They regard
the job as long pull. Perhaps the
best illustration of how they feel on
the subject of the government owned
snlps was that the report emanating
from other departments that four ships
had been stolen was at first hailed
with JOY.
The move to have commission on
claims originated because the board
members feel that some of the corpora
tlons which have claims against the
government have built up their bills
with the idea that they might be
trimmed little
Charles Plez, former president Of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, con-
ferred with the board to-day, recon-
mending that the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration be made separate entity,
with a view to relieving members of
the Shipping Board of some of the
routine duties. J. II. Rosseter, another
former member of the board, also
talked at length with membership
our efforts to get back to sub-nor-
malcy,' as one member Of the board
