END OF SHIP ROW BELIEVED IN SIGHT
Washington, July 21.—End to the Goethals-Denman controversy, with action toward speeding up the government's shipbuilding program, was in sight yesterday.
Chairman Denman held out the olive branch with a statement that the shipping board was "receiving every assistance and co-operation from General Goethals that his great ability can give."
Denman won his contention that the proposed two government shipyards should be on land the government owned, not leased.
Goethals is still to furnish the board with information on his project to fabricate 400 steel ships, and some serious differences may arise over $300,000,000 contracts for this work.
The state department will settle the Goethals-Denman argument over commandeering British and other alien shipping under construction in the United States.
It may be several weeks before the shipping board replies to the Senate's request for full information on the shipping program.
