TOBENAMEDSOON New Group to Tackle Job of Distributing Millions in Subsidies. Br the Associated Press. One of the Government’s biggest Jobs—distributing millions in ship subsidies—faces the new Maritime Commission which President Roose- welt expects to appoint soon. The commission will take over con- trol of administrative machinery al- ready built by a temporary three-mem- ber commission. When the full five-member body is ehosen the intricate task of effect- ing adjustments with ship operators | on existing ocean mail contracts may be speeded. | In place of the agreements expir- ing July 1, the commission will grant | cash operating and construction sub- sidies based directly on the differences between American and foreign oper- ating costs. Under this arrangement, American operators are expected to overcome competitive disadvantages resulting from cheaper labor and materials available in some foreign countries. About $100,000.000 in cash is avail- | able for granting the new subsidies. The commission also has about $87.- | 000,000 of notes payable by operators | under former loan agreements. | President Roosevelt is expected to appoint the new body before he leaves Thursday for Warm Springs, Ga. Ad- | miral H. A. Wiley, Admiral M. M Taylor and George Landick, jr., former | Treasury official, form the temporary eommission, and one or more may be | mamed to the permanent body. | Others mentioned for the $12.000-a- | year jobs are Rear Admiral Emory S. Land of the Navy Bureau of Con-| ftruction and Repair; Edward C. Moran, former Democratic Represen- | tative from Maine, and Ernest John- | son of Burlingame, Calif, ship con- | struction expert.

ENBASSY ‘SNUES LARUARDUSTALK Germans Not to Be Repre- sented at Cutting Me- morial Lecture. An “official snub” is tbe German Embassy's response to an invitation to hear Mayor Fiorello La Guardia's talk tonight in the Bronson Cutting Memorial Lecture series. The German diplomats have heard the New York mayor talk before—for instance, last week when he suggested a statue of Adolf Hitler be part of a “Chamber of Horrors” exhibit in New York’s 1939 World Fair. So, while representatives of practi- cally all the other embassies and le- gations turn out for the lecture, the | German delegation will stay away. “We received an invitation,” Dr. Herbert Blankenhorn, attache of the German Embassy, said today, “but, of course, we will not attend. That was decided when we saw Mayor La Guardia’s name on the program.” Mayor La Guardia will go direct to the Temple Auditorium, 820 Eighth street, when he arrives. After speak- ing there, he will talk again at the Rialto Theater, Senator Norris of Nebraska, who will pay tribute to the late Senator MAYTAG Cutting, and Dr. Charles A. Beard, historian, will be other speakers. College officials are co-operating in the program. They include Dr. Ernest Griffith, dean of the Graduate School of American University; Dr. Elmer Kayser, dean of students, and Dr. Henry Grattan Doyle, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, George Wash- ington University. —_ ORGAN RECITAL TONIGHT Arthur Howes, noted concert organ- ist, will render the first of three lenten recitals at 8t.
