{ SHPBOARDTOASK ' AIDOF ATTORNEYS New General Counsel Wil Seek Assistance of Bar As- sociations in Cities. Following the established policy of the administration in calling together ex- perts for advice and counsel in solving the country's problems, Elmer Schles- inger, newly appointed general counsel _of the United States Shipping Board, plans to call meetings of the bar as- sociations in various cities of the United States where litigation is pending against he Shipping Board, and ask them to loan to the Shipping Board their best t litigation is straightened out. In other words, Mr. Schlesinger is going to draft the best legal talent in the country to help him clear the al- redfly crowded dockets and protect the interests of the big government cor- poration. Many of these claims, Mr. Schlesinger says, have been kept waiting as long as three yea some just claims which he should be reviewed d paid others unjust claims, which are to be fought to the last ditch. Studying Recent Survey. Mr. Schlesinger has been studying a recent survey made by the Shipping Board of the condition of the dockets as 1ar as Shippifig Board claims are concerned. Thi rvey indicated, Mr. Schlesinzer states, that 500 law cases trict and state courts against_the fleet ation and the Shipping Board, in. approximately $50.000,000 s fonded by subordinates a entirely inadequate salaries from vernment, according to Mr. inger. At the me time, the . many of which involve sums of $1,000,000, are being ed against the Shipping Board by leaders of the American bar. 1,700 Admiralty Court Cases. Seventeen hundred cases are pend- ing against the Shipping Board and Emergency Fleet Corporation, in the admiralty courts of the coumtry, 1.200 of them being in New York city alone, aid to be an in- adequate force. It would take many vears to try these cases alone, it u] pointed out, and in addition there are aims for neeliat of con- and damages resulting there- from amounting to more than $100,- 000.000. But, been calcu < hlesinzor t re the records of which have not Washington. thereby making it im- possible to determine the exact num- ber or nature of all claims against the board. schlesinger classifies the conditions as “chaotic.” and that the total claims against the Shipping Board. including those not yet reported to Washington, will reach more than $300,000.000.

President Harding is this afternoon greeting at the White Hous visiting delegation from the Japancse pariiament. The visitors spent the forenoon at Mount Vernon, making the trip from the navy yard in the naval yacht Sylph.

Heretofore during parliamentary eclections we seldom referred to international affairs, but today. even in rural districts. our people are eager to hear the discus- sion of world questions. * ® © Therefore, the people of Japan are following our journey with great in- terest, and the cordial reception which we have received at the hands of your Congress will create an im- pression in the minds of the Japa- nese people beyond all expectation. The members of the visiting party were guests of Secretary Hughes at luncheon vesterday. TRADE BOARD HOLDS UP CONVENTION HALL AID ' “| Members Favor Plan, But Believe Time Inopportune to Raise Needed Funds. Although heartily in accord with the plan to build a convention hall in this city. the Washington Board of Trade, at a meeting yesterday afternoon of the executive commit tee, decided not to go into the prop-: osition at the present time. Previous to the meeting of the executive committee three delegates had been dispatched from the board to attend the joint committee meet- ings of the Washington Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants and Manufacturers” Association, which was considering plans for the conven tion hall. The board had been re- quested by Robert N. Harper, former president of the Chamber of Com- ! merce, to appoint a committee of three, with the idea of rushing the project to completion. In considering the report of the delegates the executive committee decided not to appoint the committee of three requested by Mr. Harper and not to entertain the proposition at! present. The belief was expressed by members of the committee that the time was not opportune to raise the | large amount of money required for | the financing of the convention hall project, and that a delay might smooth out many of the difficulties now confronting the proposition. The following new members were - E. G. Allison, Walter E. Barton, Norman C. Brown. Rufus S. Day. I. B. Dodson, N. W. Dumont, V. C. Kylberg, James C. Lynn. Thom- as W. Marshall, P. 8. Moore.
