A plea for making the dominant note in An glo-American relations - one of friendship and understanding, rather than of sensationalist and inaccurate representation, was made today by Winston Churchill new secretary for the colonies, and Earl Reading, vieeroyof India: at a farewell dinner to Lord Read ing. The guests Included Mrs Johh.W. Davis, representing the American ambassador and Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secretary lor Ireland, i Both Mr. Churchill and Lord Reading alluded to the co-opera tion between Great Britian and the United States in the war and the need of preserving in peace what had been gained at such cost. The viceroy said that with a common understanding of each others's ideals and aims, Anglo- American unity was guaranteed. Lord Reading gave what he de clared to be the first public ut terance concerning one war-time evidence of American friendship to England, saying that at a mo ment during the war when silver was unavailable and England ur gently needed it, the American congress passed ' legislation open ing the treasury reserves and sil ver was forwarded to India. " "So far as I know." he added. "America has since made no claim regarding the matter. WASHIXUGTO.W Feb. 12. Both the allies and the Germans were astounded at the rapidity with which the shipping board constructed ships after the Unit ed States entered the war. a house investigating committee was in formed today by F. N. Hurley of Chicago, chairman "of the board from July 1917 to the summer of 1919. . Hoard Achievements Praised High government officials of England. France and Italy told him after the armistice, he said, that they were highly pleased at the achievements of the board. He learned also, he said, that the Germans, too. had been amazed at Fihe board's program. i. He discussed the favorable comment he had heard abroad af ter touching on criticisms in this country. Admitting mistakes had been made, he said that was inevitable since it was necessary to create a mammoth organiza tion quickly to turn out' ships. "We delivered, the ships," he declared. "That's what we were supposed to do." Shipping board officers profit ed by their mistakes and took pains not to repeat them, the wit ness said, adding that the country could view with pride the board's accomplishments. The ships It put Into nse, he declared, helped turn the tide of the war. Hurley Pay Tribute- to Schwab Mr. Hurley paid tribute to the men associated with him. espec laity Charles M. Schwab, who. he said, had been drafted to take charge of construction -when sat isfactory progress was not -being made. At the reace conference, Mr. Hurley continued, Clemenceau told him that this appointment had frightened the f. Germans, heartened the French and en thused the British. "I know that his appointment," he added, "inspired the American people to ge behind the shipbuild ing program," He expressed optimism over the future of the American merchant marine, but said too many ships might prove a liability in case of insufficient cargoes. Junking of the government's wooden ships was favored by Mr. Hurley, who said the vessels were no longer of any use or practical value. BOSTON. Feb. 12. Defense of the America's cup against the next foreign challenge has beeun. i t W 'i ci 'i r-t n n n 1 . J . . V" . U . " miuuuuiru luuaj . I m ill ing interests affiliated with the New- York Yacht club have gone far to anticipate another Interna tional effort to lirt the cup. ' Two model yachts were the mediums of research tests, results of which will probably be reflect ed in the next races. The models wera matched aeainst each other in all kinds of wiud and weather off I'rovincetown in races that ex tended through several months. The models have been shipped to the New York Yacht club for safe keepinc and exhibition. They were nine feet long, the maets stood 15 feet high. In length they are ons-tenth the size of the RtRilute. The models cost $3000 each. They weighed between 200 and-300 pounds each. The yachts were made to rep resent opposing ideas i:i sloop ar ehiteclure and were changed from time to time to try out new pos sibilhies to sail plan and boat balance. The mrlels were so" keenly drawn that they ped on reaches fast enough to require the ue of a motorboat by those conducting the tests. Actual operation was simulat ed to a degrea that made it seem human hands were at the wheels of the yachts. Instead, a mechan- ism controlled by a clock adjust ment worked out the movements of tack and jibs, swinging rudder and shifting sail. The designer was W. H. Bur gees, naval architect and builder who is in charge of the tests.

Immediately after the vote was announced Senator Moser changed his vote to the negative. "I certainly hope." said Sena tor Eddy, "that there will be no move for reconsideration of this bill."

"My bill Is endorsed by the Portland Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary club. Under the present law It Is utterly I m possi ble to get rid of an Incompetent . teacher, and once Intrenched they can snap their fingers In your face and tell you to go to it." Senator Staples contended that his bill as amended to be referred to the people was fair to all sides. Senator Hume took sharp Is sule with Staples for Intimating that any money consideration had entered Into enlisting, votes against the bill, and for appeal ing for votes on personal grounds. Hume contended that passage of the bill would cause conditions to revert to the former condition when teachers were kept In their places only In accordance with the political or religious whims of school board members. "Propaganda has been resorted to." declared Hume, "to pss a bill that would utterly deprive the teachers of the right of ap peal." Hume exposed Irregular meth ods which he asserted had been used to force passage of the bill. Kaj i llcfwrt Tampered With.

Then th clerks of this senate were imposed upon and placed In a compromising position when a certain senator asked to see the report. The clerks did not know when the report was placed back upon the desk, that three names on the report had been erased by scratching a pen throuch them. A public docu ment had bem mutilated. That is the kind of dishonesty and jug glery that has. been used to put thi- bill across." The provltion of the bill that the votes of four members may discharge a teacher. Senator Hume said, was significant be cause the fifth member. Mr. Woodward, takes the stand thst no teacher shall be deprived of the right of appeal from a de cision. WonkI Castwe Political Comblfte. Hume averred that the bill would cause political combina tions to be formed that would affect the purchase of school supplies. (Continued on fag 2.)
