WASHINGTON. July 1o.--The con-
'troversy over the governments ship.

sency fleet corporation. Of which Ma
ior General Goethals Is manager, to
take charge of construction and by
authorizing the shipping board 10 op-

the way for an immediate speeding

will commander at once the contracts

Under the shipping law the feet
corporation is empowered also TO COM
mandeer supplies needed for ship con-
struction. hut it is believed today's
agreement between tho government

to delegate to tho general manager Of
the fleet corporation personally the
power to spend si0n,Q00,00U for ship

where suggesting that members

the organization further, Mr.. Lane
