Benson SAYS
Declares Overhead Must Be
Wiped Out if Ameri-
can Y sells Are to
Compete With Foreign
Good Word for Boiling
Believes Leviathan Could
Be Operated Profitably
If Put Into Condition

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-The Ship
ping Board virtually must wipe out its
overhead expenses before the Ameri-
can merchant marine can successfully
compete with foreign shipping In
terests, Chairman Benson declared to-
night before the House committee in
vestigating the boards activities.
Discussing policies worked out under
his direction, he said particular efforts
had been made to cut down expenses.
Until they are reduced to a rock bottom
basis, he said, the government mer-
chant feet would be handicapped seri-
ously.
When he became chairman, the wit
ness continued, he was Impressed by
the fact that the Shipping Boards per-
sonnel was unnecessarily large" and
took immediate steps to cut down the
number of employees.
Chairman Walsh of the committee
asked about reports involving R. w.
Boiling, brother-in-law of President
Wilson, who is treasurer of the board.
Chairman Benson said Mr.. Boiling
had come to him saying an attempt
was being made to create the impress
sion he was guilty Of wrong doing.
~ was satisfied, after talking with
him. said the admiral, that there
was absolutely no basis for such ru-
mors, but later, on hearing similar re.
ports from other sources, I instructed
the head of the boards division OF
investigation to go into the matter
thoroughly. He did so, and reported

Measure Gets Into Legis-
lative Snarl Over Senate
Amendments, and Its Fu-
ture Declared Uncertain
Fordney to See Harding
Will Consult the President
Elect ON a Second Ener-
gency Stop-Cap Schedule

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-The Ford
ney emergency tariff bill, with its bur
den of Senate amendments, got back to
the House to-day only to get snagged
in legislative jam, leaving its imme-
diate future uncertain.
Soon after Chairman Fordney, of the
Ways and Means. Committee, had
started for ST. Augustine, Fla, to con-
suit President-elect Harding about put
ting through second emergency tariff
as stop-gap measure, Acting Chair
man Green sought to complete the
House formalities of sending the first
bill to conference.
Obtaining recognition just before the
House adjourned, Representative Green
asked the House to disagree with the
Senate amendments and that confer
ence committee be named. Represen-
tative Treadway, Republican, Massa-
chusetts, failed to give the necessary
unanimous consent and hasty confer
ences followed. Mr.. Green sought to
get the Massachusetts member TO with
hold objection. Failing in that, Mr.
Green enlisted the support of Repre-
sentative Mondell, Republican floor
Leaders, who also attempted to untangle
the situation, but nothing came of it,
The Fordney bill thus was left over
night with three possibilities, all de-
pending. upon maneuvers by Republi-
can leaders 1t may be sent to confer

ments.
AS for the second emergency measure
which, if approved by Mr.. Harding, is to
be rushed through the extra session
ahead of all other legislation, Republi-
II is proposed to make it comparable
to permanent tariff bill in scope and
effect and it rates, according to the
program, will be based in information
gathered in the hearings just can
cluded.
The President elect will be urged tc
! lend his support to the proposition OF
the ground that checking of the i'm
ports through an additional tariff
would permit revival Of American in
dustries, now complaining of heavy i'm
portations, and that it also would in
crease revenue for the Treasury. Com.
, mittee members were said to fear that
probably nine months would be re
quired to get a permanent tariff
through Congress and that importers
would take advantage of the time tc
pile up surplus stocks.
The proposed bill, according to the
program, will carry protective provi.
sion for the importers which, in event
permanent rates are lower, would allow
the Treasury to rebate importers th
difference in amounts paid and assessed
under the present tariff on the sam
consignments.
