COOLIDGE ASSENTS
TO SHIP OPERATION
ONSUBS|D|ARY PLAN
Gives Approval to Boards
Policy, Which Is Expected
to Save Millions.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

President Coolidge has given his
approval to the policy of the United
States Shipping Board to split up its
present operating system into sub
sidiary companies analogous to the
United States Steel Corporation.
Not only will millions of dollars
be saved annually through the new
plan. but the entire fleet will be put
into such organization units as to
make the whole enterprise salea BILE
when the time comes for private
interests to take it over.
The President made clear to the
members of the Shipping Board when
he received in his study In the Execu-
tive Mansion that he believed whole
heartedly in a merchant marine. He
pointed out that not only did Amer
lea need her own ships as a measure
of economic protection in time of
peace. but as an indispensable aux
iliary to the Navy in time of war.
Mr.. Coolidge realizes that while the
present situation means that the fed
eral treasury must take up the losses
annually the few millions involved are
a small sum compared to the protec-
ton 10 American Shippers against ar
bitrary raises in freight rates, which
would inevitably occur If shipping were

over to private interests. the latter must

the maintenance of certain trade routes

Wharves Declared in "De-

Characterizing the present condition
of the water front of the National
Capital as "deplorable." the Commits
sioners' wharf committee today urged
that it's rebuilding "be no longer de-

In his annual report to Engineer
commissioner Bell. Roland NJ. Bren-
nan, chief clerk of the engineer de-
partment and chairman of the COM
mittee, said:
THE wharf committee is of the
opinion that the development and
Improvement of the water front along
the Washington channel Of the Poto-
mac river between Washington bar
racks and 14th street should be no
longer delayed.
Found Wharves Rotten.
1T is obvious to any one who has
seen our water front that existing
conditions are deplorable. Many of
the old timber wharves and sheds are
in a'rotten and dilapidated condition.
"A more noteworthy project than
one which would give the National
Capital useful and attractive water
front could not be initiated. Civic or
ganizations. municipal officials and
others have been advocating an i'm
provement in Washington's water
front for many years, and, notwith-

revision must be made before 1t can
be adopted as an approved project.
The plan should be carefully studied
by some eminent authority on harbor
and water front development, and
funds secured from Congress for such
service"
Commissioner Oyster has been one
of the strongest advocates of a rem
ovated water front since he took
office more than two years ago. Con-
tinuing its discussion of the question,
the wharf committee said:
"In developing the plan, preparatory
to its transmission to the chief of
