SENATE ORDERS SHIP BOARD
INVESTIGATION.
Delays Cause Storm Of Denuncistion;
Lewis Defends Navy ofdcials;
Favor One Man Control

Washington, Dec. 22.-"NO more
clash of authority. No more admirals.
A general manager now"
Chairman Edward N. Hurley today
announced this as the rallying cry of
the shipping board and the emergency
fleet corporation, following another re-
organization. Confidence was expressed
that the result would be the fulfllment
of the announced program to complete
100000 tons of shipping within an
other eighteen months.
The offices of vice-president and gen
eral manager of the emergency fleet
corporation have been merged. Charles
A. Piez of Chicago, vice president of the
corporation, will fill the usual position.
The shake-up was the direct outcome
of the voluntary resignation of Rear
Admiral Frederick Harris, who had held
the assignment only nine days. He an
nounced that he had been unable to put
through plans he believed necessary
and asked for his former position as
chief of the bureau of yards and docks.
Parks Is Named
Secretary Daniels, after conference
with President Wilson, forwarded to
the Senate the name Of Captain C.
wellman Parks, as chief of yards and
docks, and the name of Admiral Harris
was dropped.
The Senate, stirred by this evidence
of continued friction, authorized an in
vestigation of the shipping board and
the fleet corporation. The inquiry is
expected to be thorough and will be de-
signed to bring to light the work ae-
eomplished, the work under way and the
prospects of the board being able to
live up to the announced program
Charles A. Piez, who will become the
national shipbuilder, following the sue
cessive Withdrawals of Major General
George W. Goethals, Real Admiral
Caps and Rear Admiral Harris, will,
according to Chairman Hurley, make
good or follow the path of his predeees-
sors.
