PAID BY BUILDERS, TOO
Senate Committee Gets Core
spondence Showing Ferris
Served Private Firms

3 WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Senate Com
merce Committee, In executive session,
has been inquring into the relations
of Theodore Il. Ferris. who resigned last
week as chief designer of the Shipping
Boards Emergency Fleet CorporatIol
with concerns building wooden ships for
tine Government.
Correspondence introduced disclosed
that after receiving report from the
legal department Of the Fleet Corpora
tion summarizing Ferrls's connections,
former Rear Admiral Bowles, assistant
general manager of the Fleet Corpora
tion, recommended TO Chairman Hurley
that Ferris's resignation be requested.
Ferris. when called into conference the
next day, resigned
The correspondence showed Ferris
was receiving commissions from the
Clinchfeld Navigation Company for de-
signing ships which had been sold TO
the Government, and was under contract
to the Sloan Shipbuilding Company to
sell its output on 5 per cent commits
sion basis. The latter firm started
building several wooden ships under
sublet contracts from the Clinchfleld
company but the yards were TAX q" r
by the shipping Board some weeks ago.
The correspondence also showed that
plans for steel ship the Jahncke Ship
building Company, Of New orleans. in
tended building under Government con-
tract and for which the Jahncke COM
pany agreed to pay 100000. were drawn
in Ferris's New York office Admiral
Bowles wrote to Chairman Hurley that
he learned this from Jahncke repre-
sentative who seemed reluctant to say
how much the designing contract called
for.
Early last spring before the Shipping
Board was organized Ferris entered into
a contract with the Clinch1eld Navlga-
ton Company to design wooden ships
for them on basis OF ? per cent OF the
$40, 600 each and the commission was
to be paid in eleven instalments. These
vessels were taken over by the Govern
ment.
Then the Clinchfield company OBJ
tained four Government contracts at
s3S5,000 under the same arrangement
with Ferris.
