MARINE AID RILL IS
APPROVED BY HOUSE
W ashington, D. C.—W ithout a rec­
ord vote, the house passed th e $250,-
000,000 Jones-W hite m erchant m arine
bill, which its supporters predict will
resu lt in a g reat increase in ship­
building in th e U nited States.
The m easure now goes to conference
w ith th e senate. Its passage by con­
gress and approval by P resid en t Cool­
idge is believed certain.
Not a single am endm ent undesired
by th e house m erchant m arine com­
m ittee was m ade .to the bill in the
house. The slight opposition to m inor
featu res was sm othered in noisy
shouts.
D em ocrats joined with republicans
in pushing the m easure through the
house.
Its o u tstanding provision is th at
w hich increases from $125,000,000 to
$250,000,000 th e shipping board’s loan
fund, perm itting loans on ships built
in A m erican yards for service under
th e A m erican flag up to three-fourths
of th e cost, at th e ra te of In terest paid
by th e governm ent In its bond issues.
T he persen t law perm its loans up
to tw o-thirds of the cost of the ships,
but the in terest is fixed a t 4% per
cent for vessels for overseas trade.

CONFERENCE HELD

idge invited house and senate confer­
ees on the M ississippi riv er flood con
trol bill to visit the W hite House Mon­
day to discuss his differences with
congress over several provisions ol
the m easure.
The senate and house conferees ac­
cepted the invitation. The develop-
mt nt was regarded by supporters of
the bill as indicating possibility that
the president and congress may yet
get together on the m easure.
Mr. Coolidge has Insisted upon the
states in th e flood at , as turning a
larg er p art of the financial burden,
and from the Inception of the flood
control legislation in congress this
has been one of the outstanding points
In dispute.

ees, the measurfl authorizes a total
appropriation of $225,000,000 for car­
rying out tho flood control _ project
from the head of passes below New
New O rleans to Cape G irardeau, Mis­
souri.
I

Places the full burden of th e flood
control plan on the federal govern­
m ent, except th a t the states or levee
d istricts shall provide w ithout cost to
the U nited S tates all rig h ts of way
for levee foundations and levees on
the main stem of the M ississippi river
betw een Cape G irardeau and the head
ol passes.
Provides th a t no liability of any
kind shall attach to or re s t upon the
U nited S tates for any dam age from
