Sf Conflict, Down to the Minimum; of Authority, WANTS' CENTRAL POWER RED i CROSS iWORKER " CALLED TO '.COLORS jfcooTar, Baruch and Seaman or Qoeth- . als Ax to B "Big Three" la HtAn-t situation. Washington. June 21 (I. N. S.) Three men, -having almost unlimited powers, win be charred with the con duct of the war In lta economic as pects,, according; to revised plans the president and- cabinet are considering. The plana. It was learned, depend for consummation on early action by con gress. The men who are now referred to as the "big three" are: Herbert C. Hoover, who under his authority as food administrator, will receive vast power over the consump tion and distribution of food sunplles throughout the country. , Bernard W. Baruch. financier, who will have complete control of all pur chases whether for the allies or on behalf of this country, will probably head the-munitions board, similar to the British monitions board, a civilian body that makes all purchases for the British army upon plans drawn by ex perts of the war department. Shipping JMctatOT Sot Chosen William? Deaman, chairman of the shipping - board, or Major General George W. Ooethals, head of the emergency fleet corporation, will be vested with complete authority to build ships and to direct their opera tion when completed. It Is possible that later authority will be divided so that one department will have authority In building ships and the other in their operation. It Is said, however, the president be lieves from th tangle into which the shipping program has developed, that, in the Interest of efficiency, authority should rest in one man and that man can be male responsibly directly to the chief executive. The British government Is said to have expressed Its willingness to ac cept this program and will designate I Mr. Baruch as the chief purchasing I agent under the direction of Lord 'Nortbcliffe. Another Step Is Contemplated The movement in congress for thp creation of a department of aviation is another step for the concentration cf power in the interest of war efficiency. It is significant that General Qoethals appeared in the senate today in the interest of this bill and advocated a similar centering of authority In otter branches of the government. The question whether power in re gard to ships shall be vested in Gen eral Ooethals or Mr. Denman has arisen over whether the government shall build "quick" wooden ships. Until last week, it is said, the president fav ored General Ooethals for this pojltlort, but the general's attitude in oDDOsItion - to the wooden ship is said now t have lessened his chances somewhat. , The president and at least fouf mem bers of the cabinet are said t favor s the building of "quick" wooden ships ... llUlllUCIfl.

SOLDIER ENDS LIE . BECAUSE HE COULD NOT LEARN MANUAL Dead Man Leaves Pathetic Note Saying: "I Have Nothing to Fight For," Discouraged because he did not learn to be a soldier fast enough, William J. Henricl, 30 years of age, a recruit in Company F, Fourteenth infantry, killed himself In the Wabash hotel at Front and Madison streets Wednesday by firing a revolver bullet through his brain. The body wss found by Charles Anderson, a bedmaker, at 6:30 In the evening. A note found In the pocket of the soldier's uniform, addressed to his father, W. E. Henricl of St. Helens, Or., said: "I am so slow learning that I am going to leave the array. I have got nothing to fight for anyway." Henricl enlisted in the army at the Portland recruiting station two weeks ago. He had been stationed since at Vancouver. A note received by Mrs. Thomas S. Reeder of 1078 East Fifteenth street north, Wednesday afternoon, and post marked 9 a. m., had evidently been written, by Henricl shortly before he ended his life. The note read: "By the time you receive this I will be In Hell." Mrs. Reeder is a cousin of the dead man. Thomas Reeder Is captain of the steamer Sarah Dixon.
