After many tips and downs, the shipping board now considers wooden shlpbulld lng feasible, practical and necessary, was the testimony of Charles A. Plea, head of the government fleet corpora tion, before the senate Investigating committee today. Pies said that at first he was opposed to wooden shloa, but that ha has been converted and. answering questions by Senator Johnson of California, he said wooden vessels are essential to the gov emment'a program. Delays are caused, he eald. by doubt concerning the design which Admiral Cappa approved, experts believing the timbers are not heavy enough. The Southern Pine association has failed to keep Its promises to deliver timber as required, making It neoeeaary to ship fir from the Pacific coast, he said. Coa tracts May Be Traasferred The board Is considering the transfer of contracts from certain southern yards to the Pacific eoast. Plea said, and he agreed with a suggestion by Senator J ones of Washington that construction should be done where materials are found. Abandonment of wooden shipbuilding In . the East waa forecasted by Plea la his testimony. In which hs explained that the board will likely continue con struction on the Pacific Coast, but doee not want too maay vessels of small tonnage."
