ARMY GOES TO SEA

A hot, backstage fight between
the army, navy and maritime COM
mission has developed over Brig.
Gen. Charles P. Gross and his am
bilious plan for the army to take
over all war shipping. The row has
even gone up to Harry Hopkins and
to Transportation Gear Joe East
man, so far without settlement.
Crux Of the battle is that General
Gross, an infantry officer recently
placed in charge of army transpor-
tation, is eager to take over docks,
ships, rails and inland transporta-
ton, operate all Of the supply ships
which now sail under the maritime
commission and the navy.
The maritime commission and the
navy, however, Claim that the job
Of the army is to remain on the
land, and they will handle water
transportation.
Before the sea-dogs realized what
was happening, however, General
Gross had quietly written out an or
der and taken il to Joe Eastman,
who was on the verge Of signing it.
Gross Is under General Somerville,
the quartermaster general, who was
New York WPA administrator under
Harry Hopkins, and Somerville has
pushed the plan with his old friend
in the White House.
However, ex-Budget Director Lew
is, Douglas, newest addition to the
maritime commission, so far has
blocked the army grab. He claims
The army has enough to do fight
ing,- without sailing ships.
