Ferguson, Inc. 212 B St. N.W, MINORITY CONTROL OF BOARD OPPOSED President Reported Deter- mined to Prevent Jones Bill From Becoming Law. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. More than a question of shipping | policy is involved in President Cool- idge’s announced determMation to op- | pose the amendment proposed by Sen- ator Jones of the Senate committee on commerce whereby unanimous action would be necessary before the Shipping | Board could approve the sale of any of its present flect. Mr. Coolidge’s position is that one member of the Shipping Board could block a sale and that a minority would | thus be turned into a majority. But the suggestion would never have been made by the Senate committee if the appointment of members to the Ship- ping Board had not been considered by |the Executive as relating to policies rather than personnel qualifications. Purpose of Act. In other words, the President’s con- | ception of the appointing power is that | he must ascertain the views of pro- | spective appointees as to whether they favor gontinued Government ownership and operation or immediate sale of the merchant fleet. The law prescribes | that there shall be Democrats and Re publicans on the board and it states | what the general purpose of the act is. namely, to get rid of Government oper- | ation as soon as possible. The dificulty has arisen in attempt- ing to interpret whether a particular sale conforms to the spirit of or de- parts from the main purpose of the |law.” Such a wide latitude for discre- tion 1s given that members who feel t an adequate service would not be intained on certain trade routes feel »d in vetoing prospective sales 1] is all the more acute when a sale Iaf a particular shipping line is under consideration which may cut off a e port In a section represented pping Board membe: e fear of inadequate service, espe- cially at ports where private lines can- ocial Club With a Civic Purpose The City Club Its membership is comprised of business, Government and profes- sional men.

In that case it is not certain that there are enough votes to override a veto, though the Democrats probably will vote solidly with the insurgent Republican group in the Senate, while the amendment would have less chance of getting a majority let alone a two- thirds vote in the House. Some com- promising probably will have to be done if a new shipping llleis to be adopted. (Copyright. ) R. E. WOLTZ IS DEAD. After Manager Succumbs Short Illness. Ralph E.

SPROSS, COMPOSER, PLAYS AT BENEFIT Women's Guild of Central Union Mission Gives Concert to Aid Children’s Home. A concert presented for the benefit of the Children’s Emergency Home, under auspices of the Woman's Guild of the Central Unlon Mission, in the large ballroom of the Willard Hotel, attracted an auvdience of several hundred last night. In the honor box, at the left side of the ballroom, sat about a dozen of the youngsters who are dependent upon the home. Chubl usually well behaved boys and girls they were, too, through- out a long program. The children centered their attention upon the stage, and seemed very much Interested in the program. The concert featured the work of one ot the most popular of song writers of America—Charles Gilbert Spross. Mr. Spross was not only present, but ap- Seared on the program as both composer and arranger. He also played several piano selections of his own, including a particularly intricate left hand “Song Without Words” and one work “Etude Romantle,” by Mme. Chaminade, the distinguished ~ French composer, for whom the glee club participating last night is named. 4 The Chaminade Glee Club, composed of about 35 young woman singers of this city, under Esther Linkins, director, opened the program with Mr, Spross’ arrangement of Mme. Chaminade’s “Scarf Dance.” The incidental soprano solo was sung by Elizabeth Jordan. They also sang several groups of Mr. Spross’ own works, of which per- ence was “Will-o'-the-Wis) which first made Mr. Spro The composer's own playing of the very difficult accompaniment of this song was excellently co-ordinated with the singing of the club. Throughout the concert the club sang with clear diction. _The one vocal soloist was Horace Smithey, a baritone with a very vibrant voicc. He sang a group of Spross songs which the composer | had dedicated to him, and two other | groups. £ R CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.
