Prince in seventeen.
Another supporter OF the measure

parent resumption of hostilities be-
tween him and Mr.. Denman. However,
il can be positively stated that Cen
eral Goethals's request for a confer
ence at the White House had no bear
ing on the contract row which the
chairman of the Shipping Board had
projected into the newspapers.
On the contrary, the subject matter
which General Goethals wished 70 dis
cuss with the President related 70 the
larger programme Of operations TO Sc
cure ships for the transport OF sup
plies and men 10 Europe. This pro.
gramme now only awaits the official
approval OF the Chief Executive, who
has had it under consideration for sew
eral days.
Anticipating that final showdown
would come in the matter Of supreme
power when the President acted on the
Goethals programme, Mr.. Denman to-
day hurried 70 the White House to
make his final representations regard
ing wooden ships.
Meantime General Goethals, pictured
in the vortex of storm of controver-
sy, was to-day the least ruff1ed man IN
Washington. He has formulated his
plans, and now he awaits the approva!
of the President
Incidentally. if the President follows
the desires Of Senate and House. he
will vest authority and responsibility
for the shipping programme in General
Goethals. This expectation Is based on
the compromise on the appropriations
bill, which resulted in the withdrawal
Of the language specifically directing
that General Goethals be given full dis
cretionary powers in the expenditure
of the s750000,000. Before the Ser
ate consented TO this change it was as
sured that General Goethals would

Makes Supreme Effort for
Control of Ship Pro-
gramme
Steel Contracts
At $50 Are Signed
Action Leaves Revision of
Prices with Com
mittee
From The Tribune Buresul

Washington. June ls.-William DEN
man. chairman of the Shipping Board,
has made his supreme effort to wrest
control of the emergency shipping
programme from General Goethals,
general manager of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation. the executive or
ganization of the Shipping Board.
To-day Mr. Denman summed up his
case at a conference with the Presi-
dent, which, though represented other
wise, was really a final drive against
General Goethals. As Senator put it
tonight, it is now up to the President
TO decide whether he wants to place the
all-important shipbuildng programme
in the keeping of lawyer with PEN
chant for politics and prose, or with a
practical engineer, who. though not
shipping expert, nevertheless is
proven executive Of no mean capacity,
and man who gets things done.
Mr.. Denman confded TO the press
last night that he had declined TO ap-
prove contracts with the Downey Con-
struction Company, of New York, for
ten steel ships, because they called for
the payment of s95 a ton for steel
plates. There was a distinct implica-
tion along The same lines carried by
one Of Mr.. Denman's previous public
statements that General Goethals was
disposed "to train with" the steel
group.
Denman Signs Contracts
To-day Mr.. Denman signed the con-
tracts after they had been redrawn fix
ing the basic steel price at $500 a
ton and providing further that this
price be reviewed by the raw materials
committee Of the Council Of National
Defence. which will have authority 10
lower or raise the price according 10
its findings. This result was widely
heralded to-day as victory for Mr..
Derman.
The practical result is to put the
steel price-hxing in the hands of the
Courcil Of National Defence. Mr.. Den
man, according to this plan, could have
secured q basic price OF $40 ton in
stead of s5620 without changing in
the slightest the effect of the contracts,
for they are TO be reviewed by the COM
nittee of the National Council of De-
fence and the price fixed on the basis
Of the cost findings
What promised to be sensational
RESUMPTION Of the Denman-Goethals
controversy petered out into nothing
ness when Mr.. Denman to-day repudl
ated the Implications made in his state
ment Of last night and said there was
no friction between him and Genera
Goethals. There were only few mi
nor revisons TO be made in the con-
tracts, he explained. after which he
had in due course approved them.
