FARM RELIEF
BILL SENT TO
WHITE HOUSE
• _
Merchant Marine Act
Also Is Ready For
Signature of Presi-
dent; May Veto One
WASHINGTON. May 1The
McNary-Ha»*en farm relief and
Jones-White merchant marine bills
two big pieces of legislation that have
been knocking at the doors of con-
gress for months passed through
these portals yesterday and today
were awaiting entry into the White
House.
Congressional action on the two
controversial measures was completed
when the senate adopted conferences
reports in which differences between
the senate and house were adjusted.1
With this over speculation was re-
vived as to what kind of a reception
they will be accorded by President1
Coolidge who will get the bills as
soon as Vice President Dawes and
Speaker Longworth attach their sig-
natures.
Although changed considerably
since its veto last year the farm re-
lief bili setting up a farm board and
huge revolving fund to aid farmers
in marketing their crops still car-
ries the much-debated equalization
fee and for this reason there appear-
ed to be little doubt at the capitol
that the measure again would fail
of executive approval.
This fee. which would be levied
against growers of certain commodi-
ties to assist in stabilizing market
conditions when surpluses exist has
been held unconstitutional by Attor-
ney General Sargent and while it
would not be resorted to in the pres-
ent bill until other provisions had
failed to meet requirements it still
is believed to be unacceptable at the
White House. Leading backers of
the measure however have hoped
that because of the alternative pro-
vided before application of the fee
the president would sign it as the
best obtainable legislation at this
time.
The fate of the shipping bill also
was in doubt today although most of
the leaders believed the president
would approve it. This measure au-
I thorizes a big replacement program
| for the government merchant marine
requires sanction of but five of the
seven members of the shipping board
for the sale of vessels to private op-
erators doubles the existing
000.000 construction loan fund of the
hoard and liberalizes the occap mail
contract system.
Waging a final assault on the bill
yesterday western republican sen-
ators contended changes made by the
house had turned it into ^ *subsid\’'
measure. Fighting under leadership
of Senator Norris republican Nebras-
ka. the westerners who supported the
first bill passed by the senate requir-
ing unanimous consent of the board
for ship sales persisted in their ar-
gument. hut finally yielded and forc-
ed a roll call on the conference re-
port. It was adopted 51 to 20.
