COCKTAILS FIRES
TWO ASSISTANTS

Washington, d. c., June 8.-Charg
es by F. A. EuStii, assistant general
manager OF the governments cmer-
gency fleet corporation, and F. Hunt
ington Clark, his assistant, that Maj.
Gen Goethals is deliberately blocking
the wooden shipbuilding program, re-
suited today in the dismissal of both
as volunteer employees of the corpora
ton.
Gen. Goethals, in a memorandum
TO Chairman Denman of the shipping
board, announced that he was dis
charging the engineers who conceived
the wooden shipbuilding plans be-
cause their usefulness was at end.
Mr.. Clark went out of government
service tody, but the status of Mr..
Eusl,s, who, in addition to his con-
nection with the fleet corporation, is
special agent of the shipping board
is in doubt
Some members of the board are
strongly in favor of building all the
wooden ships the country can pro-
duce, and they are loath, it is said, to
force the resignation of Mr.. Eustis
for championing the cause of wooden
construction.
Mr.. Eustis was employed by the
board as a salary of one dollar year
as a special agent.
Gen Goethals declined today to
make any statement concerning the
controversy. Mr.. Eustis and Mr..
Clark found copies of his memoran-
| dunn to Mr.. Denman on their desks
when they arrived at the Offices of the
| feet corporation this morning The
memorandum branded as false state
ments by the two engineers regarding
Gen. Goethals' attitude toward wood
en- shipbuilding.
The engineers declare shipbuilders
will not construct vessels under this
form of contract and that Gen Goe-
thals has turned down contracts call
| ing for a cost plus 10 per cent profit
basis after he had once approved that
plan.
Both Eustis and Clark issued state
ments during the day denying the
generals assertion as to misstate-
ments and replying to his charges OF
disloyalty by saying they felt it was
their duty to inform the country that
ships can be built if the government
wants them.
| Mr.. Clark's reply to Gen Cocktails
dismissal said:
There are two charges, one of dis
loyalty. feel that loyalty is to the
country, not to one man The coun
try has a right to know that they car
have the ships if they want them
CAS- to the charge of misstatemenr
of facts, every statement made car
be verified and | trust full investi
CATION can be made"
The fleet corporation. it became
known today, has just arranged fol
lumber on the Pacific coast for build
ing sixty wooden ships. This, will
contracts let with the Southern Pin,
| Association, makes a total of abou
200 wooden ships contracted for.
