Whites resolution was not connected
with the difficulties that have develop
ed between Chairman Denman Of the
board. and Major General Goethals OF

the government ship building program.
Captain White, 1t turns out, offered
his resignation to the president some
weeks ago on the ground of ill health
and went on a vacation When he re-

man and General Goethals had become
acute and now. it Is understood, he

Captain White has supported Mr..
Denman and Vice Chairman Brent in
their opposition to General Cocktails.
DONALD STILL ON JOB.
A report that John A. Donald of New

had resigned, was denied at the white
house.
Officials in close touch with the Den
man-Goethals controversy said today 1t
was not probable that President Will
son would summon either man to the
white house to discuss the questions
involved. The president has all avail
