In discussing his proposal that the operation of the government mar- chant fleet be handled by the Emer- gency Fleet Corporation, Senator Jones sald in his memorandum to the President: Much fault is found with the man- agement of our ships by the,Ship- ping Board and it is sought (0 give ita. powers, dutles. and property to one man, or some organization head- ed by“one man. The physical prop- erty of the Board, the sale and oper- ation of the ships, should be under an unified control and head, but the primary powers and duties of the board should not be placed in one msan no more than the powers and duties of the Interstate Commerce Commision should be 50 placed. The Shipping Board was primarily created to exercise a control over shipping very similar to that exer- cised by the [Interstate Commerce Commission over raflroads. This pu: pose is largely overlooked and with the burdens placed upon the Ship- ping Board by the war It has scarcely functioned as it was primarily in- tended to function. I think the time has come for it to do so. No pew leg- islation or new organization fs neces- ®ary to bring this about and seeure ®n unifled control over the ships.

News that Mr. Corey intended to fol- low ‘in the footsteps of the late Vis- count Astor in expatriating himaelf be- came known when it was disclosed last night that a farewell Juncheon had been tendered him a fortnight ago by a group of his business intimate: No motive was given for the de- ecision, which apparently followed close- 1y the granting last month by a Parls Gourt of a divorce to the second Mrs. Corey, who was Miss Mabelle Giiman, a musical comedy star. It _was made clear, however, that Mr. Corey had abandoned the business connections which held him here. Diverce Ends Romanee.

This committee should be made up of one or more repressnjatives of the lmgvnln[ Board and the Secretaries of War, Navy and Commerce.” With regard to the extensioh of the coastw! hipping laws to the Philip- pines, Senator Jones called attention to the fact that the merchant marine act of 1920, which bears his name, provided for such extension upon the scertainment of the existence of lequate shipping facilitie: Adequate Service Established. “T understand,” said Senator Jones, “that an adequate shipping service has been established and that local needs and conditions can be fully niet by Amerfcan service. The Shipping Hbard should bo able to give definite information on this point, and, if adeguate service exists, the Intention | ot Congress should be carried out. It was reported sometime ago that the State Department had advised that such action would contravene some of our treaties. - In reply to 2n inquiry from me, the Secretary of Stateway bex to say that the Department of State has not expressed such an opinion.” The Stats Department advises me, how- ever, that It received last February {trom Dr. Culbertson, vice chairman of the tariff commission, 2 memoran- dum on the subject of extending the coastwise laws of the Philippines, which had been placed in the hands ot President Harding and later placed in your hands.

They met in Pittsburgh one night in 1963, when Mr. Corey enter- taining’ friends at a theater where “The Mocking Bird," with Miss Gil- man as star, was playing. He then was head of the Steel Corporation. Two vears later the first Mrs. Corey told a divorce court in Reno, Nev., that she had been unable to induce her husband to return to her.
