looking to the scrapping of upwards
of 400 government ships probably will
be recommended to the shipping

tho sale or junking of a largo block
of vessels to Henry Ford or other bid
ders under open competitive terms.
The sub committee, consisting of
Chairman O'Connor and Commis
sioner I Mil miner and Jlenson is under
stood to favor such n policy and while
It will encounter opposition In the
board there are indications that it may
command a majority.
Mr. O'Connor declined today to am
plify his statement of yesterday ex
pressing the belief that Mr. Ford
would make an offer to buy ships
both for operation and for -Hcrnpping.
lioth the United States lines, now
operated by the fleet corporation to
1-Juropo and tho Panama lino, now op
erated by the Munson lines to South
A meiica, were mentioned in reports
that Mr. Ford might enter the steam
ship business on a considerable scale.
