 WASHINGTON, Sept. 21s-The ad. ministration today again faced the task of formulating a policy for dis posal of the governments, merchant fleet as a substitute for th3t contem- plated in the Lasker- Fafley plan, which Attorney General Daugherts has declared to be not legal
 In an opinion submitted to Presi- dent Coolidge yesterday, the attorney held that the Lasker-Farley plan for transferring the fleet to corpora tions organized under state laws would be unlawful, under provisions of the shipping act limiting disposi- tion of the fleet to cash or credit sales. The proposed transfer of title to ships in neither expressly nor by any implication to be drawn from provisions of the act.
 That the government would in a real and substantial sense part with title to it's vessels must be ad- mitted," MT. Daugherty said in con- sidering the argument that the gov ernment, as stockholder, would re- main the real owner of the ships conveyed to the corporations, he added, are legal entities and the stockholders are without legal title to their property.
 Among other complications in the proposed plan cited by the attorney general were loss of direction of the fleet by responsible federal officials, loss of the governments immunity from suits, and the ameniab bility of the corporations to state laws, in volving possible state taxation and regulation of government property.
