SHIP SCANDAL AID Joseph Sloan Gets Hearing at Washington. NEW ANGLE DEVELOPED Circumstance That Cllnchfields Could Get Contract From Board Before Existing Tards Could Will Be Investigated. OREGONIAN JTEVTS BUREAU. "Wash ington, Jan. 23. Phillip D. Sloan, pres ident of the Sloan Shipyard Corpora tion of Seattle, and his brother, Joseph, manager of the Anacortes yard, a sub sidiary of the former, arrived In Wash' lngton today to appear before the Sen ate commerce committee to reply to the testimony given by Admiral Bowles, of the Shipping Board, regarding: the famous Sloan contracts. Joseph Sloan had bis hearing this afternoon, and said very little regard lng the relations existing between the Sloan corporation and the Clinchfleld company, of New Tork. Sloan based his statements on Wash lngton dispatches printed in The Ore gonlan, "purporting to quota the testl mony of Admiral Bowles." He asserted that if Admiral Bowles had been correctly quoted, he had done the Sloan Corporation a grave Injus tice and was inclined to attribute Bowles' statementa to misinformation furnished by Captain Blaln, district of fleer at Seattle. Twelve Ship Capacity Claimed. Tha Anacortes yard. Instead of hav ing but two keels laid, had two ships In frame, two more keels laid and a fifth on the ground when Admiral Bowles was before the committee. His yard, he said, was capable of turning out twelve ships a year. .Regarding the large commission paid to tne Clinchfleld Company. Sloan vol unteered the Information that this fee was for the Cllnchfields' Influence In getting for the Sloan Corporation near ly $8,000,000 worth of Government con- tracts. This fee, he said, was nald because the Clinchfleld people had turned over to the Sloan Company contracts for four ships and secured contracts for 13 more ships, of which the Cllnchfields had secured options from the ShlDDlna- Board prior to the time the -board had begun letting contracts to anyone. moan made no further reference to the Clinchfield transaction, and the committee did not question him, defer ring that until Phillip D. Sloan goes oh the stand tomorrow. Soma Contracts Closed Early. However, the testimony today opened up a new line not developed by Ad miral Bowles which will call for the testimony of the Cllnchfields or others showing how the New York concern. not being a shipbuilding concern, could get contracts from the Board weeks before existing yards could close con tracts of any sort. Sloan further testified that when the Shipping Board took over the Anacortes shipyard, displacing' him as manager. it piacea in cnarge a Mr. Arnold, of Bay City, Mich., and placed Eugene McAllister In charge of the Sloan shlp- yara at uiympla. Neither of the men, he said, was a practical shipbuilder. He admitted that the subletting to the Anacortes yard of a part of the Sloan contract had not been with the sanction of the Shipping Board. Moans plea was that his yard be permitted to carry through tho con tracts which were turned over to it. and that it be given further opportunity to Duua up its capacity. The yard, un der present management, he said, was far less efficient than when operating under nis direction. DESMAN ESTIMATES BOSSES Six Million Allied Tons This Year Figure of ex-Cbalrman.
