ASKS PRESIDENTTO OUST PALMER

Shipping Board Majority

Urges Fleet CorporationHead Be Asked to Resign.

The Shipping Boat'd yesterday votedt» send a letter to President Coolidgein which it would outline its positionWith reference to President Palmer ofthe Fleet Corporation. The resolutiondirecting this course was adopted bya. majority vote, those in favor beingunderstood to be Commissioners Ben-son. Haney, Plummer and Thompson,

with Commissioner Hill opposed andthe position of Chairman O'Connor un-t evealed.

While the letter was not made pub-lic, there were indications that it doesnot indicate any change in*the posi-tion of a majority of the board thatMi. Palmer'ii resignation should be

accepted. In general, however, it isunderstood the communication formal-ly notifies the Chief Executive of thebelief of the commissioners that thepresent relationship between the boardand the Fleet Corporation is an un-satisfactory one and that the hoard,as an independent establishment cre-

ated by law and not a. part of theExecutive branch of the Government,should exercise its authority to re-vise conditions.

No New Development.Decision to transmit its views was

reached by the board at a. time whenPresident Coolidge had Indicated thathe wanted full information on thesituation between the board and theFleet Corporation and after he haddiscussed the questions ct issue withChairman O’Connor and Commis-sioners Hill and Plummer. He has notas yet, however, conferred with Mr.Palmer the White House, and to-day a spokesman for the Chief Ex'-

« ecutive indicated that there had beenno new development in the situationfrom his standpoint.

Although a majority of the boardis Insistent that Mr. Palmer should beasked to resign, It was said to be theirdesire to give the President everyopportunity to acquaint himself withthe facts and not to move hastily.Mr. Palmer, meanwhile, has refusedcomment, saying he was too occupiedwith his duties.

Restored Relations Possible.

If the board’s views ultimately pre-vail, it is believed the relationship be-tween it and the corporation willi evert more to the status of two yearsago before Mr. Palmer, at the sugges-tion of the President, was elected tobis present post. Then the corpora-tion was more than a department ofthe board, whereas in the last twoyear* it has been an agent withboard administrative power dele-gated to it by the board at the in-stance of the White House.

Whether the outcome of the presentdifficulty, which has developed from al-most constant disagreements betweenthe board and Mr. Palmer over policies

involvin'- varied administrative acts,

will affect the legislative program thePresMant will recommend to Congressthis Winter, is awaited with interest.

BEST MEANS SOUGHT TQ STOPPROMISCOUS FOOD HANDLING

How can the discriminating' house-wife be persuaded not to handle achicken or a roast of beef to satisfyherself of its tenderness before shebuys it?

This question was the subject of de-bate when the Commissioners held apublic hearing in the board room ofthe District Building today to get theviews of several hundred market deal-ers and storekeepers on the proposalOs Health Officer William G, Fowlerto amend the health regulations torequire fodstuffs to be kept in sani-tary containers when on display andto prevent promiscuous handling offoods.

Perclval Marshall, attorney for theLouisiana Avenue Merchants’ Associa-tion, contended with that house-wives, when they go marketing, seemto want the privilege of determininghqw tender meat is before they pur-chase it. Mr. Marshall tried to showthe Commissioners what a problemthe dealers would face if they tried totell housewiyes they could not toucha piece of meat before buying it.

Commenting on the new regulationsas a whole, spokesmen for the marketdealers and the storekeepers took thegenera! position that the proposed

** ~

amendments are both unreasonableand unnecessary.

.Mr. Marshall told the Commission-ers Dr. Fowler has ample authorityunder existing law to reach any deal-er who sells unfit products. He as-sorted that the dealers themselves areanxious to prepare and handle theirfoodstuffs in the best possible mannerin order to improve their business.

Health Officer Fowler told the Com-missioners with equal emphasis thatthe new rules are not unreasonable orunnecessary. He said the existingregulations are designed principallyto prevent the sale of unwholesomefoods, while the amendments are in-tended to protect foods on display

from dust, Insects and promiscuoushandling.

Commissioner Fenning asked Mr.MarsbftU why objection was being

raised if the Health Department al-ready has sufficient authority to dowhat is is aiming at. He asked ifthe proposed amendments were morestringent.

Mr. Marshall replied they are notmore stringent, but that, in additionto being unreasonable, they were sophrased Ihkt a dealer coult not tellexacth* what they mean. He.went

j into detail to inquire why there should

I be a requirement for the effectual| screening of a store if there is tobe another clause requiring all foodsto be in sanitary containers whereflies could not possibly touch them.

6 E. C. Brandenburg, an attorney,raised strenuous objection to a clausawhich he said would require the wrap*

r ping of all bread in wax paper. Mr.. Bradenburg declared some buyers do. not want wrapped bread that un-

s wrapped bread for those who prefer• It can be kept in a sanitary manner.

There was a difference of opinion be-tween Mr. Brandenburg and Dr. Fowl-

. er as to the meaning of the new regu-

t lation with regard to bread. Dr.- Fowler said it would not require the

t wrapping of all loaves, but meant onlyr that the bread should be covered. Mr,

• - Brandenburg insisted the language, if. adopted into a regulation, would meanr the separate wrapping of all bread.

i Representatives of the Riggs Marketand the Arcade Market also hadspokesmen present to give their views

; of the new rules.While the question of women han-

dling meats and chickens before buy--1 ing them was under discussion one

speaker pointed out these foods are1 cooked before being served, which, he

said, would eliminate any harm result-ing from the product having been han-
