RULED SHIP BOARD
Plummer Testifies Former Chair.
man Dominated and Was
Seldom Opposed.
FARLEY ALSO CRITICIZED
Little Accomplished Under His
Administration, Official Says.

The House committees Shipping
Board inquiry went back again today
to the administration of former Chair
man A. ID. Lasker, Representative
Davis, Democrat, Tenn essee, question
ing Vice Chairman Plummer of the
board AZ to Laskers dominating at
titude" in running the board.
The witness said Lasker was a
dominant figure" and there were
times when we didn't agree with
him
Representative Davis asked If Las
ker had not stated to the board that
President Harding had given him
full rein with Instructions to report
any officials disagreeing with his
plans. Plummcr replied that Lasker
had controlled to great extent and
realizing he had been given a free
hand board members usually .'ac-
quieSced in his proposals.
Vice Chairman Plummer testified
there were times when DaSker pro-
posed plans and put them into effect
without consulting the board, but
that the board usually agreed" with
him. although there were occasions
He agreed with Mr.. Davis that
many miStak kes" were made during
La&krr's' Chairmanship.
Isn't il a fact that the whole
prorC sition was permitted to drift,
while he was chairman and that he
spent most of his time in trying 70
put through his ship subsidy hill~
asked Mr.. Davis.
"Of course, as l stated the other
day" the witness replied. I'VE were
asked to give that Legislation the
right of way and not do anything to
cripple it."
Il want to ask you if he (Farley)
did not start out with the same as
sumptions of authority and superior
wisdom that Mr.. I-asker had" said
Mr. Davis.
Well. to certain extent he seemed
| to feel that as chairman he had Ger
tain enlarged responsibilities that
made his work greater than the work
OF the ordinary commiSSi onerS," re-
piled Plummer.
He would not say Farley dominated
nut declared I'VE didn't make much
progress while he was chairman"
Plummer asserted the Farley plan
of keeping the government ships in
the hands of loading agents" on
which the board was sharply divided
was practically" the same as the
LaSker subsidy proposal, which was
held Illegal by the Department OF
Justice.
The witness testified that the board
did not have control then as we do
now, and added that steps had been
taken TO eliminate waste eXtraya-
gance and ineficiency"

Tenants Of apartment houses in

their own, and their trials AMI
tribulations were related in part by
Neil M. Judd before the members
Of the Association of American Geog-
raphers meeting at the headquarters
Of the National Geographic Society
today.
Doctor Judd, recently returned
from his fourth year of exploration
and excavation for the National
Geographic Society at Chaco Can

Of the Columbian Indian resi-
dents Of the apartment houses as
far as Il has been pieced together

Vast Dwelling Of 800 Rooms.
Mr.. Judd told of the recovery, at
Pueblo Bonito during the present
year, Of a turquoise necklace and
four ear pendants of SURPRISING
beauty-the first complete necklace,
it is believed, ever to have been founi
In pueblo ruin. He described the
pueblo as single colossal dwelling
house composed Of approximately
800 rooms surrounding two great
courts or plaZas. In the heyday the
pueblo sheltered no less than 1000
individuals. They were farmers, but
supplemented their diet with game.
These early sons of America seem
to have adopted the eagle for a
symbol and kept the great birds cap
tive in the pueblo.
The Bonitians were wealthy, and
seem to have attracted to their valley
itinerant merchants from as far away
as the Pacific coast and central
Mexico. The peddlers from the
tropics sold parrots and macaws as
pets to the apartment dwellers, while
those from the West bought bundles
of abalone and other bright colored
shells.
After resisting the attacks of
nomadic warriors for a long time,
the pueblo seems finally to have
fallen to them.

GATEWAY TRYING TO BE FAIR

Ii appears to be impossible to con- vince some citizens that the Gateway is not in politics, nor does it care hOot-annannv who is elected for any office. so long as it can work amicably with them. We believe that the paper should remain absolutely neutral in all civic fights, working for all and for the town at large. Only by doing so can a paper survive in a small community There is 10 reason why town should be torn asunder by strife every tune an election comes round, and we be lieve it would be better to have no election if this is to be done.
 Fortunately there is no contest on any of the offices at the election to- morrow. The people appear to be sat istied and most of the town politicians shied off from having their names On the ballot this year.
 Once again we desire to state that the Gateway is not in politics in any manner whatsoever, but is giving its support to all candidates who pay for it, irrespective of party or personal feelings in the matter.
 And if you will recall the damage done in the past by the paper taking sides on every occasion, you will agree it is the best thing for the town that it adopts this course.
