THE BEE: OMAHA. "SATURDAY.- JANUARY 22, 1921. Walsh Committee Hears New Angles On Ship Squabble Voucher for $260,000 Found ( In Audit of Books Explained By Former Assistant ; ' To Chairman. ;. Ray Burleigh; Tpungest "Sammie," Weds in Lincoln New York, Jan. 21. Admiral Ben son, chairman of the shipping board, had "determined to commandeer the vards of the Bethlehem Ship Build ing corporation" if it were necessary, 'to adjust tlft dispute over the audit of its books, Martin J. Gillen in formed the Walsn congressional committee. Gillen was a former spe cial assistant to the chairman. The Bethlehem concern, Gillen said, did not object to the audit, but to the employment of the firm of Ferley Morse & Co. in con nection with the same. The auditing firm's employes, he added, had been refused admission to the corpora tion yards after the audit was or dered. At a conference to bring about an adjustment of the difficulty, Gillen said it was necessary to bring pressure to bear on both sides. - Gillen declared that the voucher for $260,000 which the preceding witness. Col. h. H. Abadie, tormer comptroller general of the shipping board, had- brought into the testi mony was discussed at the confer ence. The voucher, Colonel Abadie said he had been informed by the auditor, was for the October, 1918, personal expenses of Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the board of directors of the Bethlehem Steel cor poration and a former director gen eral of the emergency fleet corpora tion. Gillen testified , the item was charged to profit and loss by the Bethlehem Ship Building corporation "and was not charged in any way to the shipping board ot-the navy. The witness added, he had been informed at conferences with the auditors that there was "nothing wrong with that item." He declared further it was "regrettable that anything should arise which would in the least im pugn the motives of men who had risen to positions of responsibility in their country," Continuing, the witness denied that he forced the resignation of Colonel Abadie, as the latter had testified, or that there was any illf feeling be tween them. i . . l rwii -v i Aiienuance inis iear ' J ' ) ;V J 18k flK! i - a oa Bis Kiirhnrv Nph Ian. 21 ( Snecial.
