WASHINGTON, Nov. 1C. (A, 1) President Coolidgo today informed Senator McNary, republican, Oregon, that he would not re-appoint IK K. Hnney as commissioner of the United States shipping board. The prcHidcnt requested the Ore iron senator to submit for his con sideration in connection with the lost held bv- Mr. llunev. the names of a republican and a democrat in J Oregon who would have the unified . HUpport of the shipping and the bus iness men of that section. I The president's refusal to re-ap-j point Mr. llaney s the sequel of a controversy centering around the au-1 thority of the shipping board and: the fleet corporation. Mr. Haney was among those opposing the presi dent's desiro to have the operations controlled by the fleet corporation. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. (A. P.) Coining to the defense of Bert H. Haney, democratic shipping board commissioner whose resignation Pres ident Coolidgo requested several months ago, Senator McNary. repub lican, Oregon, told the executive today that Mr. Haney represents the. Pa cific coast's view of the way the mer chant marine law should be enforced. He declined to , SRy, however, whether he had urged the president to submit .to the senate Mr. Hnnoy's -nomination to. continue in office: The Oregon senator said lie was not Interested in personalities and indi cated if the president deemed it un wise to submit Mr. Haney's nomina tion to tho senate lie would pronoun the name of some other democrat from tho northwest, who would gener ally be in accord with the present commissioner's views. Mr. McNary also diHcussed the agri cultural situation with the president, offering somo suggestions for use by the executive In his speech in Chicago December 7 on the farm question and In his annual message to congress 1 1 o said he had not determined whether he would re-introlncc the McNary-IInugen bill, designed to facil it.'ite sale of surplus farm products abroad.

The secretary presented his viewti on the question in a recent letter to Chairman White of the house rotn mfttre on marine and fisheries, which he made public in an address to the shipping conference convened hero today by the chamber of commerce of the United States. Referring to tho board's refusal to follow tho views of President Cool Ide by vesting operating authority in the president of the emergency fleet corporation, Mr. Hoover declared its present personnel hfld "dented respon sibility to the president, the one re sponsibility which every administra tive officer of the government should ocknowledRo under the spirit of the constitution." Mr. Hoover proposed that In the exercise of such authority the fleet corporation be governed by an advi sory board composed of subordinate officers and the chairman of the shiiipfng board. Government support oT shipping should be maintained, he said, but attempt should bo made to enlist re gional and community aid in meeting deficits with the ultimate aim of ''t tine private ownership to assume the burden.

Supreme Court Decides Important Question in Favor of American Creditors Debts Must Be Paid at 17 Cents Rate for Mark WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. (A. P.) Pre-war Indebtedness in German murks due ,an American from a Ger man whose property was seized by lite alien properly, cuntodian must be. paid at the rate of exchange which prevailed when tho debt was due, tho supreme court ruled today. Ttie court also ruled that the Amer ican creditors were entitled to interest during the period of the war and in this connection it overruled the lower courts. ""' 1 ' '" ' Cross appeals by'lhe alien property custodian and others and by Laden burn, Tbulmen and company of New York figured In tho case. The ques Hon was regarded as a test on which i large number' of claims depended. I madly, the decision involves the quest ion of whether the American claimants would collect their bills in dollars on the basis of 1 7 Vz cents per German mark, the exchange value when war was declared, or would re ceive practically nothing should the value of the mark at the close of the war be used. 1 The lower courts sustained the con tention of the claimants that tho gov ernment in paying the debts owed by the German firm of Dclbruck.
