Benton by Senator C. I. Mc- Nanr. Who laft , Salam MrmUv night for Portland to raalr a per sonal investigation ol the sltua tion. "Before going j to eastern Ore gon last wee," said a statement issued br Senator MeXtrr "I again appealed to ir cnairman or I .- j the United States shipping board to take Portland fram without the Seattle district and create a' new Portland district or replace Port land In the San Francisco district. Complaints Shower IUnon r" "Today I received a letter from Admiral Benson in vrhtin i said numerous complaints had reached his orfices from Portland o gainst Including that city In lb Seattle district. In thU letter Mr. Ben son informed me that in he in terest of economy and efficient operation he was compelled to re fuse to makn Portland a separate district or olace that city under the jurisdiction of the San Fran-eis-o district." Mr. Benson's letter to Senator MOary reads in part: , " 'I have repliel to all com plaints nsceiveu in connection with Portland's shtppiug district by dating that no change in the situation would be mad at the pres?nt time, but that when the new shipping board is appointed, wV.ch will be compos 1 of two members , from tha Pacific coast. I will take the matter up with the members' from the Paclf!c coast wis will undoubtedly be familiar with tha Pacific 2oast . situation. .d ihen lov ! c-.her any charge should be medc.

Strong Board Needed "I hope this situation will not obtain, as the merchant, marine problem is a difficult one and needs to ba attacked by a strong and aggressive board." said Sena tor McXary. "Then, again, it is my op'nion that Portland would bvmada a separate district if the board had representation from the coaJt as provided in the merchant marine act, -It will be observe: in the let ter of Chairman Benson that if facts are presented to show that Portland is being discriminated against, the board ' will take ne cessary action to correct that con dition. "I am going to Portland to make a personal invest igatfmt along this line in order to present to tho few members on the ship ring oard conditions as 1 find them.
