SPLIT IN The SHIP
BUILDING BOARD
Aids of Gen. GoethaIs Accuse
Their Chief of Hfndering
the Work.
SAY CONTRACT is IMPOSSIBLE
Statement Issued by Eustis and Clark
Reveal Friction Between Wood
and Steel Advocates.

Washington, June Differences
over the governments wooden ship
building program came to head to-
night when F. A. Eustis, assistant gen.
eral manager of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, and his assistant, F.
Huntington Clark, issued statements
virtually charging Mai. Gen. George
W. Goethals, general manager of the
corporation, with hating building of
the vessels by prescribing an impos-
sible form of contract.
The statements reveal that the fleet
corporation has just received offers
from ten firms to build 496 wooden
ships within twelve months or 786
within eighteen months. General Goe-
thals has turned down the proposals
because the builders wish to construct
the ships on cost plus 10 per cent
profit basis instead of contracting for
a flat price for the ships.
Where They Hitch"
Mr.. Eustis and Mr.. Clark are the
mining engineers who originated the
wooden shipbuilding plan adopted by
the shipping board and regarded by
General Goethals as impracticable.
When the board formed the fleet cor
poration and put General Goethals at
its head with full powers to build
ships the two engineers were assigned
to the corporation as the generals
aids.
After taking charge of the building
program General Goethals turned to
steel construction and limited the
wooden program to not more than $50
ships, in eighteen months.
Mr.. Eustis and Mr. Clark contend
the corporation can build two thou
sand wooden ships within that time
without interfering with steel building.
General GoethaIs could not be seen
tonight for comment on the state
ments. Chairman Denman of the
shipping board, who has been repre-
scented as opposing General GoethaPs
plans to restrict wooden building,
said
All Power to GoethaIs.
None of the members of the ship
ping board had any knowledge of the
statement attributed to the engineers,
Mr. Eustis and Mr. Clark, intimating
a refusal by General Goethals to
build as many wooden ships as he
might, nor had they the slightest init
nation that they were to be issued.
General GoethaIs, as head of the emer-
gency fleet corporation, in the service
of which they have been acting, has
entire responsibility for the shipbuild-
ing program, wood and steel. That
power was given him when the. board
was organized, April 16, 1917.
