Der of the residents of the neighbor-
hood objected, but the change finally
was made, following recent court
ruling.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The
United States shipping board has
realized its dream of the last de-
cade, the creation Of a strong pri-
vately owned shipping line in the
North Atlantic.
With sale of the United States
and American merchant lines TO
Paul w. Chapman q Co., Inc, New
York. for $l6,O82,OOO Thursday the
government concluded its most
coIorful and costly experiment In
the shipping business. Very soon
the board expects to conclude It's
service as a ship operator.
But board officials feel they have
realized three detectives: Within a
few hundred thousand dollars OF
the ships book value was received
for them; they were sold to firm
which guaranteed their continued
operation and the mandate Of the
merchant marine act Of 1920 that
successful shipping lines be turned
to private owners has been oheyed.
Four of the vessels-the Levia-
than, largest liner afoat, America,
Republic and George Washington
were built by German firms IN pre-
war days to meet British COMPETE

In 1914 they were in our ports ano

President Roosevelt of the United
States lines, were part Of the gov
ernment's enormous wartime ship
