GILLEN STORY
|
SCORNS STATEMENT ABOUT SHIP
PING BOARD OPERATIONS.
Washington, Jan, 22-—Claims that
the report of Martin J, Gillen to the
cimmittee was wholly wrong in all
vital questions was made here today
in statement submitted to the select
committee on the shipping board oper
ations by Charles Piez, former direc
tor general of the shipping board
emergency fleet corporation. In his
statements Piez c¢laims the state
ments in Gillen's report do not square
with the facts in a single vital case
in which he indulged in criticism
concerning the division of construc
tion.
Gillen’s statement that there was
interference hetween the management
and the trustees in the placing of
contracts was whoily untrue, He
he also charged that Gillen was guil
ty of gross mistatement of facts re
garding the fleet corporation’s two
hundred and fifty millions in mortga
ges and securities and that Qillen’s
gtatement of a lack of an accounting
system wholly wrong.
Pioz statement says there was
some payroll padding and some petty
dishonesty but mo more than would
be in yards under private control,
Piez had prepared a five thousand
word statement in which he took up
the charges in detail, but it was noc
read, Chairman Walsh said the wit
ness could read it if he desired, bu:
all the members of the commitie2
had examined copies furnished them
and time would be saved by merely
admitting it to record. Replying to
guestions, Piez said to hos knowl
rdge Schwab rever had received 2
cent from the government iin salary
or personal expenses while director
general. ;
