KENNEDY GETS
APPROVAL OF
SENATOR'S

Appointment Of Joseph P. Ken
nedy as chairman and four others
as members Of the Maritime Com
mission, was approved yesterday
by the Senate Commerce Commit
tee.
The nominations will be reported
favorably to the Senate today for
formal confirmation, which is eX
pected to be voted tomorrow.
The committees action camG
swiftly following passage Of joint
resolution exempting Kennedy
from the eligibility clause of the
Copeland Marine Act. Under the
Copeland law persons having had
q financial interest in a shipping
company, within three years, are
ineligible for the commission. I'm
mediately on his nomination, Ken
nedy informed the committee he
held stock in the Todd Shipbuild-
ing Company.
Republican and Democratic lead
ers alike indorSed the resolution
which would pave the way for Ken
nedy's confirmation. High tribute
to his recent service as chairman
OF the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and to his qualifica-
tions for the shipping post was
voiced by Majority Leader Robin
son and Senator Vandenberg RO,
of Michigan.
Senator Robinson told the
Senate:
"Mr. Kennedy possesses un-
usual qualifications for this
position. He is man of
proven ability and can bring
to this office a wide experience
which will be of invaluable aid
to the Government"
Senator Copeland CD, of New
York, chairman of the Commerce
Committee, declared delay in con-
firming the Kennedy nomination
would endanger the Govern
ment's entire merchant marine
program.
He said:
"We have laid down q policy
designed to promote the re-
building of our merchant ma
rine. Unless this program is
successful, within 10 years
there won't be a ship on the
seas flying the American flag.
We need a man such as MIR.
Kennedy TO get that program
underway at the earliest mo-
ment."
Others whose nominations to
the commission were approved by
the Commerce Committee are
Admirals Henry A. Wiley and
Emery S. Lane, Edward C. Moran,
former Representative from
Maine, and Thomas M. Wood
ward, Of Pennsylvania.

From 1875 until 1881, the bull

each other valiantly for the supremacy
along that line. In this they were as
