Survey To
Fix Fate
Of Marine
Shipping Board Soon
to Decide Whether U.
S. Flag Will Fly Over
Largest of Fleets
By T. N. Sandifer
Washington, Sept. 9. Whether
the United States flag files over
the largest merchant marine In
the world, as it once flew over
the clipper ship fleets of Amer
ican commerce, depends on the
development of the present ship
ping Board's programme within
the next few months.
The preliminary steps In the
programme have already been un
dertaken. They Include:
First. A general clean-up of
incomplete contracts.
Second. A thorough survey of
the entire Shipping Board, to de
termine Just where the organiza
tion stands in a business way.
Business Methods Needed
Third. To put the board om
the same basis as a successful1
business.
The general goal toward which'
these steps are directed is a full-1
fledged American merchant mar-l
ine, second to none.
Chairman Laaker ha Btted
that his administration had in
herited chaos. They have inheri
ted an organization, in which,
owinr to war conditions, ac
counts with the business clients
are badly schambled, a large
amount of surplus material is on
hand, some of it unsalable, under
present conditions, and, finally,
with the second largest tonnage
in the world on their hands, they
are operating at a loss to the Gov
ernment. The first thing the present or
ganization has undertaken has
been to clean up, that is, settle
long-standing accounts as rapidly
as they can be put Jn shape, clear
away accumulated red tape, ad
just the organization to present
conditions, and in general start
with as clean a slate as possible.
This is still going on and Chair
man Lasker expects months to
elapse before most of the work is
done.
In line with this clean-up, the
organization is being thoroughly
overhauled and surveyed. This
is to determine what assets and
liabilities the present board has,
a thing which the chairman states
has never been done. He states
that an enormous amount of work
is Involved in this alone.
Overloaded County

trucks engaged in road work In
hauling hot stuff from the plant
on Front street to the Riverside
road southeast of Salem were stop

yesterday and required to unload
an overload of approxii.iately osie

loads of approximately SOUO
pounds. Four wood hauling

"I went for my health, really,"
she said In an Interview, "for I

Mrs. Dalziel described how she
missed death by inches in an en

walking down one of the jungle
tracks, almost like subway tunnels
which run from water hole to wa

animal asleep. Sir Charles Ross
went on ahead and fired at and

noise of the rhinoceros, which had
gone round in a circle and was
coming back to the track again.
"I went behind a bush, but the
animal also had the same idea, and
it crashed right past me and
caught me with Its side, and I and
two natives who were with me
were knocked over into a thorn
bush. Except for some cuts about
the face I was otherwise unhurt.
Most probably the rhinoceros did
not Bee me."
Here Sir Charles Ross broke In,
saying:

is fear. When a Hon suddenly ap

"It was." exclaimed MrB. Dalziel.
