Plummer Urged to Stay on Shipping Board by Maine Delegation
The fate of the United States Shipping Board is pivotal to Maine. Edward C. Plummer of Bath, vice chairman, is praised for representing New England. A movement seeks to have Maine lawmakers appeal to President Coolidge to retain Plummer amid clashes over the Emergency Fleet Corporation. The Dalton plan would strip the Board to judicial duties, install a cabinet board, and reinstall Admiral Palmer as head of the EFC. Backers argue Plummer keeps New England influence. opponents contend reform is needed. Also noted: two women members in the American Institute of Architects and Portland Oregon reporting its first policewoman.
