al judge for the western Washing
ton district was rejected by the
senate today "a to 35.

ming disposal of amendments to
the bill authorizing score of ad-
ditional federal judges, upon
which a vote was to come late to-
day the senate adopted 25 to 21
the amendment of Senator Fre-
linghuysen, republican, New Jer-
sey, to provide another federal
judge for New Jersey.
The bill was attacked as a par
tisan measure by Senator Harri-
son, democrat, Mississippi, who
asserted that with four exceptions,
the additional judges would go to
states where there were senator
ial election contests.
Poindexter Wants One.
Senator Pofndexter, republican,
Washington, offered an amend
ment to give the western Wash
ington district another Judge and
presented data to show the need
for it. Declaring political consid-
erations did not influence. Sen
ator Poindexter said selection of a
Judge from a number of candi-
dates was political embarrass-
ment'' rather than as asset.
Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon
tana, presented a letter purport-
ing to have been written by As
sistant Attorney General Holland
recommending early appointment
of Hawaiian federal judges on the
ground that such expeditions ac-
tion would have favorable result
on the candidacy of republican
candidate for congressional dele
gate from Hawaii. Such action
was highly improper, Senator
Walsh declared.

/ Opposing Measure

Washington, April 7.-Charges
abat provisions of the administra-
Aion's ship subsidy plan would
brove discriminatory were made
And denied today before senate
hpd house committees considering
khe proposal.
Representative Davis, democrat,
Tenn essee, predicted that some
features of the bill, especially the
Iprc sion which would authorize
american shippers to make de-
huctions in their income taxes
amounting to 5 per cent Of freight
bald on cargoes carried in Amer
lcan bottoms, would work to the
advantage Of the big" shipper
And to the disadvantage of less
prosperous ones.
Lasker Denies Claim.
The opposite view was taken
by Chairman Lasker of the ship
plng board, who declared that the
3ncome tax section, which it is es-
aimated would result in an aggre-
gate deduction of $40, 100000 an
Shually, would discriminate against
bo one. Once in force, he said,
pertain minor inequalities in the
duplication Of the legislation
might come to light, adding that
this could be remedied.
In planning for the building up
pf privately owned merchant ma
fine, the shipping board, Mr.. Las
lker said, hopes to assist in the es-
sablishment of an American mer-
chant fleet comparable to that of
Great Britain.
Japs Not Considered.
1--WE figured that If we could
put American shippers on a par
with British shipping interests,
they could ask nothing MORE" the
committee were told. Japan did
not enter into our picture.
Mr.. Davis read from an address
by James A. Farrell, president of
the United States Steel corpora
hion, expressing the opinion that
the government merchant fleet
compared favorably with ships
Flying any other flag. Mr.. Lasker
said Mr.. Farrell evidently was
I'uninformed."
'If Mr.. Farrell would look over
our fleet or spend three weeks in
our office, he would agree" he
added, that large share of our
ships cannot compete on an equal
footing with foreign vessels"
