The Government today won its first
point at the hearing on the Pacific

Lengthy argument by counsel for

decision in the promised legal battle
growing out of the safe by the Ship

the five President type ships, operated
on the California-Orien Line.

Counsel for the Pacific Mail, headed
by b. J. Laws and former Senator
George Z. Chamberlain of Oregon,
contended that the board had acted
unlawfully by not observing complete
" the provisions of the merchant ma
rine act of 1920, particularly in the
manner of requirements in compet1-
tive sale and in observing due regard
for the national defense.
The suit, they contended, was not
directed against the United States as
a necessary party, but sought merely
to review acts of agents of the United
States.
As the issues involved in the wideneo
split in the Shipping Board over its
sale to the Dollar interests were
reached today the situation was en-
gaging the direct attention of Presi
dent Coolidge.
Chairman O'Connor of the board
was understood to have received from
the President a letter taking forma
cognizance OF the differences withir
the board and asking for certain in
formation with respect to the dis
agreement over the sale. The Presl
dent, who previously had indicated he
considered the matter one for the
boards own judgment, was said tc

chairman after Vice Chairman Plum

The sale was awarded the Dollar in

after counsel for the board had de
clared the Pacific Mail bid illegal. II
presenting their affidavits, Commits
sioners Plummer and Thompson stated
their views why neither bid should
have been accepted as a matter o.
policy, and why, in their opinion, the
sale as awarded was illegal.
The action of two of the dissenting
members in thus carrying their con

that it means full airing there of the

the President to abandon his hands-of
