SHIPPING BOARD PLANS OUTLINED
 FOR FIRST TIME
Officials Emphasize Neces- sity for Fullest Co-opera- ton With Commer-
 ciaI Interests
By Associated Pres.

Washington, June 10.-Plans of the administration concerning the ship ping board were outlined today in high official quarters for the first time since the appointment of the new members with A. D. Lasker of Chi cago as chairman.
 The necessity for the. fullest CO., operation with commercial interests was emphasized by officials in view af what was described as the virtual paxaIysis of American shipping and especially that of the shipping hoaxdS
 Rather than to proceed upon the unordered routing and maintaining shipping routes to every quarter Of the globe. irrespective of the com merciaI needs of the United States, it was stated that the object of the new administration would be to place the corporation upon a strictly busi- ness basis This would mean to be- gin with, 1t was said, the charging off to the war of the heavy losses sustained by the government since the corporations inception.
 This loss was elected as the dif- ference between the war cost of S3,- ec0, ,oo0, 900 and the present estimated valne of the shipping boards assets of from s75o.o0o,00o to S1,0o0, o0o,es
 Confidence in Future.
 Confidence in the future of the American merchant marine was ex- pressed by Rear Admiral Benson to- day or the eve of his retirement from the chairmanship of the shipping board. The new organization, or which he will be a member, will be effected Monday.
 The shipping board is now passing through the critical period of its ca reer, he declared, with steadily grow ing prospects for 8 more favorable future. Of the nearly 1,5oo steel steamers owned by the board. more than 50 per cent are now operating, the retiring chairman said, and the actual operating deficit has been re- duced to between S4.000, ,000 and $5,- eoo,e0o a month.
 T believe that as trade picks up. he added, land internal and indus trial conditions in this country ap- proach normal, the boards deficit will be reduced until it is wiped out There Is no question in my mind but that American ships can be operated profitably throughout the world ln competition with foreign vessels all though it will require efficient or ganization and careful operation,

 That is not the fact.-
 The senator's statement is .nso- lent" retorted Senator Reed, -the i'm science of insatiety.-
 Senator Reed. continuing. asserted that Senator Glass regarded the fed eral reserve act as ''the child of his brain and resented anything de- tracting from that suggestion
 Senator Glass sought to reply, but Senator Reed waved him to his seat declaring:
 T decline to yield to the senator from Virginia now or at any time in tho future.
 Continues Hour and Half
 Senator Glass remained silent in his seat while Senator Reed con tinued for an hour and a half to speak on the packer bill. As the Missouri senator sat down, Senator Glass arose, while the Senate cham ber became stilled, senators stopped the reading of bills and reports, and the crowds in the galleries bent for ward in expectation.
 The Virginia senator began his re- ply slowly and with careful meas urement of his words He related the history of the federal reserve act and the details of his earlier clash with Senator Reed.
 Y do not feel disposed.- he told tho two score senators present, ito lec it go into the record without dis pute tho statement that Legislation with which I had something to do had been thrown together haphaz- ardfy So that the Senate had to alter and change it in 500 respects. I had observed that the senator from Mis- souri was intolerant in differences of viewpoint and quick to retort to any senator who failed to agree with him"
 Denies Allegations
 Then Senator Glass proceeded to repeat Mir. Reeds previous assertions which he described as "a vitupera- tive and offensive report'' and Ian exhibition of pantomime not becorn- ing in a body of this character He denied that the federal reserve act was the product of single nnind.y but was, he said. the result sof conf- mon council of patrfotic minds- He denied in detail Senator Reeds state ments, and concluded:
 T might say other things, but I do not believe this is the proper place to give vent to ones impulses I put the senator from Missouri on mo- tice, however, that from now on whenever he makes a statement against mo personally he will not avoid proper reply from me, and not in puerlle manner such as shown by him here this afternoon"
 Senator Reed in reply. declared he had said nothing to give offense to Senator Glass; promised to prove his statements, and added:
