concerned solely with the construction
Of ships and will have no part in letting
contracts in which some of his In
terests might benefit. AS chairman OF
the board of directors of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation and allied concerns,
Mr.. Schwab has been in control Of
about one-third of the shipbuildins In
the United States.
His salary as director general OF the
Emergency Fleet Corporation was not
one of the things which Mr.. Schwab
discussed while In Washington. Omcials
professed last night not to know what
he would be paid, but II was believed
he would become one of the small army
of "dollar-a-year" men who are con-
tributing their services to the country
during the war.
Further strengthening Of the ship
building organization throughout the
country is expected after Mr.. Schwab
has taken hold of his new work. Of
fcials of the board determined to mako
up the deficit in output arising last
month from poor transportation and
shortage Of materials, have been In
quiring closely into causes for the de-
lay and how production can be speeded
up. Every answer received to Chair
man Hurley's telegram asking an ex-

Is being analysed to see where the fault
lay. These answers will be made pub
