Newspaper Page Texti .1 ? . 1 0 I 1 ' v I' i COOTffi HELD ,-. TO DISCUSS SHIPS Disposition of Government Merchant Fleet Proves Knotty Problem WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. Solution of the problem of dis posing of the gorernment's mer i chant fleet, confronting the ad ministration as a result of the defeat of tta shipping bill in the last congress, was sought today at a conference between the ship ping board and Amrjcan "ship owners and managing .operators. While the - conference was In progress, it was learned at , the White House 1 that 'President Coolidge had asked for further Information concerning the so called Lasker-Farley operation plan. The president it was said, plans to go deeply into the flues ' tlon betore asking the attorney general for an opinion as to the proposal's legality. r f Chairman Farley of the ship ping board, at the close of an all day session with the owners and operators, - announced the board's alternatire plan for-gorernment operation through subsidiary cor porations under its control in the event no plan for private opera tions and ownership is found -acceptable. ; - Earlier ho steamship owners had condemned government oper ation and re-submitted their re- ccnily 'rejected plan, while the ; manaslng operators also put for- ward a proposal. The chief de fense between " the two private ownership plans Js in the ex- ' pressed willingness of the opera tors to share with the government losses in the same proportion that they would share profits. On the other hand, the steam- ship owners proposed to; impound net profits for the ultimate pur chase of ships, but contended the government should assume all the losses.

The Los Angeles moving picture col ony has established actors" stan dards of its own but none so unique and interesting as that of this same Russell Simpson, and very few are as profitable. 1 Mr. Simpson is known to the followers of the shimmering drama as a. rugged type of actor who always cornea out first best . in otheV words, he is a hero. In, his latest - picture, "Out- of the Dust." for instance, he creates an ideal of the Frederic Reming ton type, of frontiersman. He leads the United States regulars in hairbreadth battles, plays a 'Sympathetic husband and father - tat wun equal grace and finally he wnds up the performance by handing the husky villain a band- to-hand beating such as the all seeing cameraman seldom, gets a chance to witness: in the name of realism for this scene, bot .Mr. Simpson and his adversary re sorted to arnica and bandages af ter the, fray.'
