Yo Noed atGeneralo Toni Tako Govo's SHIP BUILDING ON HUGE SCALE Board Plaits Two Billion Do'olar Pro. gram. Calls on Congtess. Washington, Jan. 4.--Plans for a $2,000,000,000 government shipbuilding program wee'o revealed today when the shipping board asked congress for authority to'place $701,000,000 worth of additional ship contracts. At the same time an. immediate appropriation of $82,000,000 waa asl.ed for the extension !of chipyard and for provi(lihg hou; ing faellitiea for workmen. Thus far the board has becn authorized to spend for sipi)building $1,234,000,000, con tracts for most of which ha:ve :.een awa rded. Today's request b' 'ngs the estimates of funds needed for- ship lt!iding to $2,018,000,000. ''he addi tional funds are to be put largely into faLricatcd steel ship contracts. No new shipyards are planned by the board. The fabricating yarda have contracts for about 500 ships now which will keep thcn constantly em )l)!yed in 1911', 'but the board is anx ious' to place more contracts and begin on the task of 1 rovidling materials. The hoard'. houz!ing plans call for the expenditure o4 about $35,000,000. Th remlainder of the $82,000,000 asked will be u(sed to expand present ship yards. The senate commerce co:mni ttoe in vestigating shipbuilding took up to dIaty alleged high profits allowed in let ting contracts, wooden ship construc tion and the subject of housing. Questioning of Theodore E. Ferris, chief constructor for the emergency fleet corporation, in connection with a report by the corporation's district otlicer at Seattle, brought out that the ClinghileId Navigation Company of New York, was alleged to have obtain ed profits amounting to $743,000 on ship contracts, when in fact the com pany was not an actual builder of ships. The compan,, it was testified, sol(d to the government at a profit of $12o.00) fout rhi;ps which the Sloan SipbuilIE Idiug Corporation of Sea tti wa.s b)uildingl fo:' it, and it received a connmission of $123,000 on contracts it obtained from the Fleet 'orporation for 12 shi I s wlic'h the f:oan Corpora tion ia now building. Mr. Ferris denied that he has any thing to do with the contracts, hut said he introduced ofilcers of the Clinehfleld Company to Maj. Gen. George W. (oethals, formerly general inana'ger o' the fleet corporation. Cond!tions affecting the Construlct Ion of wooden ships were outlined by F. A. Brown, general purchasing ollicer for the fieet Corporat ion and 1P. L. Sanford, a member of the Southern P'ine I~merrency Bureau. Mr. IBrown explained the fleet corpor'aton's grant. ing of an increase in lumber price and said that it was fully justifIed in view of the tact that timber sizes were made la'-ger. I e said that the sizes wore made ro large that. pilne prod ers (clid not make deliveries, ha'. that the corporation expected to have deliv mred f''om Oregon within GO dlay: enotigh to finish the heavier Iimbers for 201) wooden ships.
