Jones of Washington, chairman of the senate committee on commerce, discounts the talk about the Harding adminis tration favoring; the abolition of the shipping board and the substitution of, a one-man plan, an "American war of the sea. Senator Jones has been at the White House several times lately and dis cussed shipping board j matters, but never, he says, has the president sug gested the plan which certain reports have attributed to htm. Mr. . Jones thinks the president would have said something about it if there -was any ground for such reports.' as they talked over the subject from several angles. JONES WAJfTS CHAKCE As for himself, Mr. Jones Is opposed to placing a superman at the head of the merchant marine until the - law which bears his name has been given a fair trial. IIS considers that it has iiot had much of a trial i thus, far, be cause the flint board appointed under It late in 1920 faced the certainty of dismissal by the new administration and could not be expected to i Inaugu rate new policies in the I short time it hart to live.. )' It is reported that some "Of the big shipping interests : favor j the one-man plan of directing the merchant marine, and they are suspected 1 of spreading some of the statements wwcfi nave oeen wldelr nrinted as tft the 1 president la vOrlng the Idea. The best information is that the president ha done no more than to say an amiable word when this plan was suggested, but tnai me pro ponents, of the plan hope that he will ultimately support it.. ,- j - , COMMITTEE CKGED CHANGE . At the recent session' -of congress the , special committee of,' the house which investigated shipping board matters, headed by Representative Joseph Walsh or Massachusetts, tacked l a paragraph on its report to the effect that ship ping board efficiency mJght be pro moted by placing all matters l the hands of a man of large!. aftalrs. : The plan is likely to be proposed and to have strong support fromrthe big ship ping lines. John It. Rosseter, former director of operations and leading fac tor in the Pacific Mail, is said to ad vocate it heartily. I The plan would, on the other hand, encounter violent opposition n the part of those who see in it an i effort to dis credit the Jones law before.it has been tried, and it is argued that no co lossus of the sea is in sight who could inspire eemmon confidence in handling such a large problem by himself.

Fairbalm CniersI Serrio. Staff Correspondent. London, April 19. A. hugor pur chase of aircraft material by Japan, totaling nearly $5, 000000. was com pleted In London last week, accord ing to information given to Univer sal Service by a director of one of the most Important airplane firms in Great Britain. t ? Approximately 700 of the latest type of British fighting craft are now en route to Japan and additional orders placed in England, France and Italy confirm definitely that Japan is embark ing on the most stupendous airplane program of any country in the world, i BIG SCHOOL TO OPEJT . r Headed by . Colonel William Forbes SempllI, . deputy director of the British air ministry, a complete staff consist ing dP pilots and mechanics are expect ed to leave England for Japan almost immediately. They will take charge of the entire instructional course in an extensive flying school which Ha being Inaugurated by Japanese military ' au thorities, j Coiipled with this, the fact that dozens of Japanese aviators are undergoing in-1 struction at Southampton under British pilots on the latest designed flying boats makes it certain that the mikado's gov ernment has definitely decided to make the air branch an important arm of its military machine. - '' Japanese experts are now la Europe placing huge orders fn France for land machines and in Italy for flying boats, all for immediate delivery. One British firm, deluged with orders, is now work ing at full war capacity turning out instructional machines. - This company has instructions from a faction in Japan to concentrate on the manufacture of the latest types of war and commercial aircraft. The British air officials are cognizant of the details of Japan's ambitious pro gram, but are unwilling to discuss it. It is an admitted fact that they are uneasy and are hoping that the British government will take steps to keep abreast of the development in the air branch, both military and commercial. British experts are wondering what America will think of Japan's decision to increase her aerial armament. It is believed that the United States is certain to be informed toward amplify ing her naval and military air forces to keep abreast of her Pacific rival. California Member Against Increase in House Membership m ti lt' r Washington, April 19. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) Congressman Barbour of California, who lately returned with other members from a trip to Panama, feels sure there is no foundation for reports recently cir culated that the new congress may pro vide for increasing the membership of the house of representatives. ' instead of a trend in that direction, he thinks that new members recently elected will re- spond readily to popular sentiment against making the house still more un wieldy and wasteful. Mr. Barbour lost no time in denying a rumor that ho might himself weaken on this Issue. Representative McArthur of Oregon, Who took a strong position against adding new members, likewise believes that there ia little foundation for reports of a change of sentiment. ; "There is only one argument in favor of Increasing the house membership,! said Mr. Barbour, "and that has to be whispered. It is' 'more Jobs. Some of the members want more Jobs; but I am sure that in the new congress there will be a decisive majority the other way. Just as there, was in the last session."
