SMITH PUBLIC SERVICE
PLAN TO FACE FIGHT

posed by Republicans.
Special Despatch 10 TEE Sun.

ALBANY, Jan. white sentiment has
not entirely crystalized, It is the gem
oral belief of Republicans here that the
Legislature. which is controlled by
: them, will not approve Gov. Smith 8
suggestion. as contained in his inaugural
message for the abolition OF the present
two Public Service Commissions OF five
members each and the substitution OF a
single handed commission for New York
city, with another single headed COM
mission for upstate. with all subway con-
struction work under third commits

Democratic leader Of the Senate. has

recommendations and will introduce
them when the Legislature meets next

DRY" CHIEF ATTACKS SMITH.
Governors stand for Referendum
stirs w. II. Anderson.

William H. Anderson. state superin-
tendent OF the Anti-Saloon League, Is
sued the following statement last night
in regard TO the advocacy by Gov. Smith
Of a referendum on the question OF rati-
flying the Federal prohibition amend
ment:
when the Governor attempts to pre-
vent the Legislature from assuming its
responsibility and discharging its duty
and declares for bogus. futile, So called
referendum on ratification OF the ma
tional prohibition amendment on the al
legged ground that the people should de-
eide the liquor question. the people should
know that as an Assemblyman he OPP
posed every honest, effective referendum
proposed. and that the record shows
that he voted ten times in seven SEES
sions against local option bills to give a
genuine binding referendum on the liquor
question to the people OF the various
subdivisions of the State.
We are grateful to Gov. Smith for
emphasizing the fact that any Republic
can who favors the so-called referendum
is trying to bctray his party into adopt
ing the Tammany. brewery programme.
There is a striking contrast between the
Governors departure from the attitude
of his own party nationally and his sug-
gestion which. after thirty six States
have ratified. will be a proposal that the
people OF New York vote on the question
OF defying the Constitution and Govern
ment of the United States. and the wise,
patriotic suggestion OF Speaker Sweet OF
the Republican Assembly that New York
should not only ratfy but lead on the
question.
The Governor has brought into bold
relief the question whether Republican
legislators will follow n Republican
Speaker in taking the moral side Of this
question or whether they will follow
Tammany in taking the saloon and
brewery side

ONE MAN BOARD Is
NO AID TO HARMONY
Public Service Commissioner
Whitney Comments Upon
Smiths Plan.

Commenting on the recommendation OF
Gov. Alfred F.. Smith in his message to
the Legislature that the Public Service
Commissions each have one instead of
Ave commissioners and that the con-
struction work of the subways in this
commission and placed in the hands of a
separate commissioner, Commissioners
Travis H. Whitney said yesterday there
were excellent arguments in favor OF
both propositions. However. the prob
lem OF working in harmony with the
city authorities would not be solved by
having a single headed body. He cited
the instance OF Dock Commissioner HUI
bert to show that little can be done by
a single commissioner IL the Mayor and
the Comptroller have the power TO with
hold appropriations.
II look to see the Legislature authoriz-
ing cities to engage In ownership or
operation of utilities" declared Commits
sioner Whitney. MY personal opinion,
however. is that with respect TO the ex-
ercise Of such functions cities, the same
as public service corporations, should be
subject TO the orders OF the Public Ser
vice Commissions. Under such an ar
rangement rapid transit construction
would logically belong to the city OF
New York and supervision and operation
to commission. I consider that logic
ally the separation should be made. al
though If it were done at the present
time it would cause considerable dis
turbance to rapid transit work and con-
fusion as TO the obligations Of the dual
contracts"

FABRICATED SHIPS
Senate Committee Is Told Only
Four Vessels SO Far Have

ONE PLANT 1913 BEHIND
Director Picz Calls Hog Island
Project Great Asset-In-
quiry to Be Extended.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.--Only four ships
have been delivered by the three great
Government fabricated shipbulding
plants, Charles Piez. director-general OF
the Emergency Fleet Corporation, said
to-day in testifying before the Senate
Commerce Committee. Difficulties In
constructing the yards and in obtaining
material were largely responsible for the
delays. the witness said.
Three Of the ships have come from the
Hog Island yard, Mr.. Piez testified. and
the fourth from the Submarine Boat
Corporation plant at Port Newark, y. j.,
which should have delivered 124 vessels
by December Z. The Merchants SHIP
building Corporation at Bristol, Pa. has
not yet delivered "A ship. he said, al
though under its contract twenty-four
should have been completed by Deem
Der 7. The Hog Island yard delivered
its third ship to-day and has launched
twelve others. the committee was told.
Before resuming its inquiry to-day the
committee adopted n resolution by SEN
ator Nelson OF Minnesota extending III
investigation to include a survey OF the
progress of all Government merchant
shipbuilding.
Questioned to-day about the Hog ISL
and yard. Mr.. Piez told the committee
that because of the change In the man
agement OF the American international
Shipbuilding Corporation. contractors or
the Hog Island project. the Fleet Corpo-
ration had decided It would be unwist
for the Government TO take over man
agement OF the yard at this time.
Under the new arrangement Matt
Brush. formerly n vice-president of the
American International Corporation
heads the American International Ship
building Corporation. and other changes
in the executive officers have been made
Mr.. Piez said he believed the Govern
ment eventually should exercise its OPP
ton on the Hog Island site and take over
management OF the plant.
The Hog Island yard. the witness de-
clared. has been the Mecca for repre-
sentatlves OF all nations visiting the
United States and generally they have
expressed admiration for II. He said the
plant eventually would become a big
producer.
81 feel most assured that II is n great
asset TO have the Hog Island yard in re-
serve. just as It Is n great asset to have
large army In reserve" said Mr.. Piez
1T has been n great moral factor in our
succe ssful prosecution of the war"

probable il would be 10 think that 4
Republican controlled Legislature would
pass any bill that would permit Gov.
Smith to name a single commissioner for
New York city and thus put the entire
machinery Of the great department with
patronage OF more than q million dol
lars, into the hands OF Tammany. They
assert the Smith scheme would not work
out as no one man. no matter how good
a commissioner he might be, could hear
all the complaints made TO the commits
sion. and of necessity he would have to
appoint number Of deputies to take
care OF this important business.
The business of the public utilities
with which the commissions deal Is too
valuable to have deputies entrusted with
the work Of making decisions In regard
10 IL. they contend. The questions, they
say. are complex enough to demand the
attention of the best men that can be
procured for the state service at the
pay OF the present commissioners, $lb,-
900 year. Ut Is urged.
Senator Thompson ana other Senators
on the Republican side of the LeSisla-
turc admit that there Is much need OF
better regulation by the Public Service
Commissions, but they are OF the opin-
ion ii will be just AS hard - get an
agreement on n public service reorgani-
cation measure AS 1t promises to be to
get the Senators and Assemblymen to-
sether on the question OF abol.shing the
direct primary law. They want the law
revised. but they don't think Gov. Smiths
plan is the cure that Is needed.
The Thompson proposal for a commits
sion Of seven passed the Senate last year
but failed to get through the Assembly.
Gov. Smiths suggestion for third
commissioner TO complete the subway
construction aroused no enthusiasm at
all among the Republicans They have
no doubt that II such a man were chosen
he would he from Tammany Hail and
they cannot see their way clear to let
ting Tammany build the rest Of the sub
way system.
