END OF CONTROVESY
SAID TO Be IN SIGHT
Chairman Delllnan Holds Out
Olive Branch to General
CoethalS

Washington, July 20.-End of the
Goethals- -Denman controversy with ac-
tion toward speeding up the govern
ment's shipbuilding program, was in
sight today. Chairman Denman held
cut the olive branch with statement
that the shipping board was "receiv-
ing every assistance and cooperation
from General Goethals that his great
ability could give"
Denman won his contention that the
proposed two government shipyards
should be on land government-owned,
not leased. Goethals is still to furnish
the board with information on his pro-
ieet to fabriaate four hundred steel
ships and some serious differences may
arise over $300,O00,000 contracts for
this work. The state department will
settle the Goethals-Denman alignment
over Communicating British and other
alien shipping under construction in
the United States. 1t may be several
weeks before the shipping board replies
to the senate s request for full informa
tion on the shipping program.
