Admiral Palmer Tells U. s.
Chamber of Commerce Gov
eminent Is Too Inactive

Admiral Leigh G. Palmer, presi-
dent 81 the Emergency Fleet Cor
Iroration, struck st opponeHts Of
the plan to sell Government -owned
ships to Americans. who may
profit BY the sale, il an address
to the tinted states Chamber Cf
Commerce, which today s closing
its thirteenth annual meeting in
the Washington Auditorium.
The projected sale of the old
war time fleet To Henry Ford was
defended by inference in Admiral
PaImer's address.
The speaker pointed out that =
subcommittee in the Shipping
Board was strongly in favor Of
selling the ships at price that
would enable the purchaser to
make a fair profit.
Urges Immediate Sale.
THE Government should dispose
Of its fleet to private ownership az
soon as possible" declared Admiral
Palmer, without sacrificing the ma
tional interests, not merely for the
sake of the direct economies which
would result, but for the far more
important purpose of placing the
merchant marine on an efficient
and permanent basis
The speaker drew sharp con-
trast between the efficiency of Gov
ernment and private operation and
the reasons therefor.
I'm times of national danger, un-
der the spur OF patriotism he said,
human effort will rise to sacri.
ficial heights, but in times of peace
1T is apparently difficult to handle
a commercial business for the Gov
ernment as thriftfully as for
oneself"
He declared that under Govern
ment control the fleet will never be
put on a commercial basis. Fur
thermOre, due to the higher cost OF
necessities and the higher standard
of living in this country, ship
operation is more costly than 1t is
in foreign countries-yet America
must compete with vessels OF other
register for world trade.
Payroll Is Cut $4,000, 900.
Admiral Palmer stated that the
payroll had been cut 50 ,000, 200 in
the past sixteen months, through
the elimination of unnecessary per-
sonnet Losses have been reduced
from $50 100000 to 100000 ,000. al
though handling the same volume
of business.
He asked for recommends tions
from the commercial leaders for the
assistance Of the lawmakers in soly-
ing the fleet problem.
Carl r. Gray, president Of tbs
Union Pacific system. told the cham.
ber delegates of the upbuilding of
the West since the war. the conse-
quent deflation of which struck
agriculture long before other indus
tries felt the shock.
With the gradually improving
condition OF the West, said Mr..
Gray, the transportation facilities
Of the country are lending their eff
forts to promote sbetter understand
ing and good will.
Inrougn puollc campaigns, Dy
word Of mouth and by printing, the
principal railroads of the country
are bringing out a restoration OF
the West.

The Lapland skirted the same hurri-
cane, but vessel and passengers

100 mile-an-hour wind and smashed
up most of the furniture in her main
salon. Most of the passengers re
ported having been tipped out of
their berths at least once during the
storm. All had minor bruises.
1t was the Frances second storm
Of the trip. The first kept the liner
out of Plymouth harbor, and so pas
sengers. including Fritz Kreisler, the
violinist, and Mrs. Kreisler, were
hours before they could be hoisted
aboard the bucking ship.

Violators in Congress to
Get Out.

Two resolutions dealing with the
prohibition laws will be prepared by
Representatives Hill, Republican,
Maryland, and Upshaw, Democrat,
Georgia, and introduced before Con-
gress adjourns.
Mr.. Hill announced yesterday that
in view of statements that members
of Congress had violated the customs
laws by the importation of liquors
and the transportation laws by carry
ing II to their homes, he felt the
integrity of the Congress demanded
the charges be investigated. He added
that although he felt the initiative
should be taken by "a recognized dry
leader" If no action were forth
coming he proposed to ask the House
judiciary committee to inquire into
the matter.
Mr.. Upshaw said he planned to offer
a resolution declaring it Is the sense
of the present Congress that Con-
gress is overwhelmingly dry" and
that he also proposed to initiate ac-
tion to inform those who may have
violated the laws that their presence
was persona non grata" in Congress.

Solid Rubber Tire
Has Blowout as
Friction DeUeIOpS

Next time you have a blowout
dont envy the fellow who uses
solld rubber tires. He can have
blowouts, too, even though his
tires lack air to better their rid
ing qualities.
The Bureau of Standards has
found that solid rubber tires,
through excessive friction, can
swell and burst like a pneumatic
tire. While a test of solid tires
was in progress at the bureau re-
Gently a solid tire swelled and
blew out. This was caused by the
high temperature developed as
result of friction within the mate
rial and shows, in the opinion of
the bureau, the extent to which the
wearing qualities and economy of
operation of solid tires can be infiu-
enced by the choice of materials
from which they are made.
The tire which blew out reached
temperature of 355 degrees dur
ing the test made in a tire dyna-

to the fact that included in the bill is
the proposal to place the Municipal
Hospital and the tuberculosis Hospi-
tai under the jurisdiction of the
board. Are you making a radical
change in such a proposal?" he asked.
Judge Siddons replied that the
Board of Charities now has similar
Jurisdiction in regard to those hos
pitals and the bill merely transferred
that authority to the Board of Public
Welfare.
Calling attention to testimony at
an earlier meeting by Chaplin Brown,
as reported in the newspapers, to the
effect that the District Commission
ers were merely seeking more power
through the inclusion of the National
Training School for Girls in the bill,
he declared that the District Commits
sioners had nothing to do with this
matter and had not even been con-
suited by the commission with regard
to It. Judge Siddons also said that
the Department of Justice officials in
the past had looked with favor on a
transfer of jurisdiction over both the
National Training School for Girls
and the National Training School for

Joseph d. Sullivan. member of the
