July 21, "I have not resigned." wn tho sharp re ply of Major General Gcorgo W. Gocthals, manager of tho Emergency Shipping Cor poration, to queries ns to tho authenticity 'of reports of his resignation published to' day General Gocthals declined to elaborate on his statement or to say whether he plans further conferences with tho members of the Federal Shipping Board which is hold ing up his construction plan that Involves the building of all possible steel vessels nnd the creation of two Gov ernment-owned ship yards."- Shipping Board officials said they believed that tho majority of Genernl Goethats's plans will be approved In tho near future. Reports that President Wilson again had rlnn tiersnnnl nttentlotl to tho shipbuild ing row havo given strength to the belief thnt an adjustment might soon bo expected which would penult speeding up tho com mandeering nnd construction program. William Dciiman, chairman of tho Ship ping Board, nnd Goethals will hold a final conference, nccordlng to tho present plan, to go over thn matters on which they have differed It Is quite ponslblo that they can not agree, but thero s a distinct feeling that something of a definite nature would como of tho meeting. It was understood that General Gocthals had been In touch with tho President and thnt Mr. Wilson had made it known to all concerned that further delay could not tv) countenanced. Whatever may bo tho outcome of thn personal row between General GOethals nnd Mr. Penman, the point that stands out Is thnt the Administration hnd como to n point where It Is unwilling to permit petty feelings to delay ship construction. It Is raid to no tno ucsire oi tno i-resincm to bring about that result without losing General Gocthals or Mr. Penman. Only the development ot tho next few days can tell If that Is posslblo under the circumstances. Chairman Denmnn, of tno shipping board, said exchanges of letters' with GoTthals would contlnuo until a program could bo launched with tho board's approval.
