PROPOSALTOHAVE
MUNITIONS CHIEF
: STARTS BIG FIGHT
President Wilson and Congress
Don't Agree; Legislative De
partment Wants to Try Hand.
BUSINESS MANAGER SOUGHT
Baker Insists Changes He Has
.Made Will Accomplish Results
But Senators Don't Think" So.
w. s. s.
Washington. Jan. 12. (U. P.) Presi
dent Wilson and congress aje about to
grapple In what promises to be one of
the hottest grapples between these
ancient rivals.
' A large element in congress believes
the war can't be won without a muni
tions minister. The president ' and sec
retary of war believe it can.
Back of the demand for the creation of
a ministry of munitions, is a determina
tion by many legislators to assert con
gress' right to have a bigger voice in
the conduct of the war. They Bay con
cress has been too acquiescent and not
initiating enough ; too much like a rub
ber stamp and not enough like an
active necessary part of the government.
Congress Would Try Hani
, Congress yielded when the president
. asked that a committee on expenditures
and the conduct of the war be side
tracked. It won't yield so easily to ad
ministration disapproval of a secretary
of munitions with a seat in' thet'eabinet.
A potent reason .is that. Irrespective!
of party, many members seem con
vinced, as a result of congressional in
quiries that things have not gone as
well as they might in some government
departments. j
. As one member phrased it today "con
gress let the other fellow make all the
. plans, while it accepted them ind gave
Its approval. Some, of those plana have
not proved the best, so now f congress
would like to try Its hand at making a
few."
Direct notice that the fight Is on was
served on congress today by Secretary
of War Baker. He told the senate mili
tary affairs committee he opposed crea
tion of a munitions ministry! as pro
posed in Senator Chamberlain's bill.
President Announces Stand
Baker's statement closely followed
word from the White House1 that the
president also is against the' pill. Pre
sumably the. president's reason is that
assigned by Baker that recent re
organisation of the purchasing and sup
ply ends of the war department has ac
complished everything the creation of a
munitions ministry could do.
Advocates of the Chamberlain bill de
mand centralization. They want one
man, a single driving force, put behind
the production of munitions, guns, tents,
clothing and all army supplies.
Baker asserts that creation of a sup
, ply division, through which the needs of
all war department divisions will be
filled, is centralization in the highest
degree. The plan goes further, he says,
centralizing the purchase and produc
tion of supplies for all the war making
agencies in the clearance committee of
the war industries board.
Butlnets Mas Waste
Though Baker explained and repeated
the details of this plan to the committee
today, members as insistently declared
It does not meet the need. .
Baker's plan does not convince them,
they frankly said, because it) does not
have one outstanding figure. One broad
gauge man on whose shoulders the whole
authority - and responsibility . can be
placed.
Senators Chamberlain, Weeks, McKel
lar, Wadsworth and Hitchcock have re
peatedly stated that the situation re
quires a man like Henry Ford, Charles

much the same repertoire.
Manager Gallo established his com

In addition to bringing splendid prin

Manager Gallo showed Portland some
of the latest in scenic creations.
Manager Gallo was more than pleased
and said Portland will surely be on the

HIS OWN EXECUTIONER
(Contirned from Pace One)
Washington. Jan, 12. (I. . S.) Un
qualified opposition was registered today
by Secretary of War Baker against a
secretary of munitions.
"What is your real objection to the
idea?" asked Senator Chamberlain.
"It creates an impossible task,"
replied the secretary.. . "No human
being can be found who can do all that
Is asked of him in the bill. You would
have an industrial dictator in the
United States."
Mr. Baker considered his own plan
of re-organization completely satisfied
the needs for change in the purchasing
department of the army. Against the
most determined criticism he stoutly
held that it paralelled the centralization
scheme used by the navy.
The secretary was subjected today to
the sharpest examination he has yet en
countered from the senate committee
questions were fired at him from every
side. Not once would he admit justifi
cation for the attacks that have been
launched against his department in the
conduct of the war. He complimented
General Crozler and Sharpe highly by
partment of the New York Times at
one time and his father is editor and
publisher of the Springfield. (Mo.)
