Of the executive committee and a
member of the committee on ar
rangements, said today on his return

refusal OF the United States Line To
provide a definite and acceptable
sailing date for the Leviathan. the
only American ship in which the
army of lawyers could be accommo-
dated.
"Since our decision" he said
I'VE have learned what we did not

US the United States Shipping Boards
disinclination to deal with US in
definite business manner-that is,
that the United States Lines have
contracted to transport the American
delegation to the convention of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World in London in July.
I'm other words, the officials of
the Shipping Board. who now criticize
us for not taking the Leviathan. Were
keeping us in the dark as to the
possibility of sailing on that boat
because they were negotiating with
the advertising clubs"
Mr.. Beitler added that he under
stood the advertising clubs had re-
fused the Leviathan offer at the last
moment, deciding to sail on the
