E. G. Grace, president Of the Bethlehem

brought by william B. Shearer, naval

Newport News Co. Disclaims Efforts to
Block Arms Cut.
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. September 7
R.-Emphatic denial that the Newport
News Shipbuilding g. Dry Dock Co. ever
employed william D. Shearer cor any
one else" to oppose disarmament, lat
Geneva or anywhere else" was given In
prepared statement last night by
Homer L. Ferguson. president of the
firm. He also asserted that the local
shipbuilding firm favors the President
present efforts to that end.
Mr.. 'Ferguson's statement follows:
"The Newport News Shipbuilding &
Dry Dock Co. never employed William
B. Shearer or any one else to oppose
disarmament of nations, at Geneva or
anywhere else. AS matter Of fact, we
have no objection whatever to any fair
scheme of disarmament and favor the
Presidents present efforts in this direc-
ton.
"Shearer's engagement with US ter
minated several months ago. and before
President Hoover's disarmament negoti-
atoms began. When, in 1922, the first
Disarmament Conference resulted In the
cancellation of two battle cruisers and
one battleship under construction by
this company for the Government the
chairman of our board at that time
said, IF it is god thing for the Gov
eminent. 1t suits me- and we still feel
that way.
When Shearer's engagement termi-
mated he threatened to bring suit. as he
claimed we had made an agreement with
him extending over a term of years.
The suit in the New York courts
against us and subsequent publicity are
due to our refusal to pay him money
which we had not agreed to pay.
Our agreement to defray a portion
of Shearer's expenses was q direct re-
suit of his own persistent efforts and
the information he has furnished has
been of no avail to U.S."
