charges were made against the
commission: whether the committee
had an open mind on the matter,
whether 1t had authorized the pub

Conflict Over Policy
On Cargo Ships Sent
To White House
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. :.
A clash of opinion over the United
States basic policy on cargo ship
construction has been taken to the
White House for decision, 1t was
learned last night.
william Francis Gibbs, co-ordi-
'nator of shipbuilding for the War
Production Board, has challenged
the wisdom Of the Maritime Com
missions decision to shift the back
bone of the wartime ship-building
program from Liberty vessels to VIC
tory ships, a new design which is
speedier but requires more time,
money and materials to build.
The Truman Committee, in a re-
port covering its hearings in April,
described the controversy as a big
dispute" between the WPB and the
Navy, on one hand, and the Mari
time Commission on the other.
The Truman group urged that the
disputants arrive at settlement as
soon as possible, but suggested that.
failing in this, they should present
the problem to the White House.
Fears Drop in Output.
That was done about two weeks
ago, according to informed sources.
Whether it went to James F. Byrnes,
head of the once Of War Mobiliza-
ton. or to President Roosevelt, was
not learned.
Mr.. Gibbs repeatedly has argued
that conversion of mass-productlon
shipyards to the new Victory design
would endanger the rate of launch
ings which he feels necessary to
support and supply American expe-
dionary forces overseas.
The Victory ship is rated at about
i51a knots, as compared with around
10 knots for the Liberty ship, but is
estimated to require about 80 per
cent more time and material in
construction.
Postwar Use Seen.
Some officials, observing that the
NlCUOTy vessel WOulu OC uoCAoi Ai'
the postwar merchant marine while
the Liberty would not. have voiced
the opinion that the Maritime Com
mission is overly concerned with
making the United States pre-em-
inent in world trade after the war
Mr.. Gibbs, member of the widely
known firm of Gibbs & Cox. naval
and merchant ship designers OF New
York, was understood to havesad-
vanced the theory that large num-
bers of the slower ships already in
production could best meet the prob
lem of supplying masses of troops
overseas if amply protected by de-
stroyer escorts and other recently
developed antisubmarine weapons.
1t was not believed that Mr.. Gibbs
advocated complete elimination OF
the Victory ship from the country's S
production plans, but he was under
stood to have urged that only such
numbers be built as were deemed
necessary by the combined chiefs
of staff for special strategic pur-
poses.
