Subcity ship subsidy bill stalls in house committee
Washington December 6 The Gal Unger ship subsidy bill passed last winter and now sits with the house committee on merchant marine and fisheries. Speaker Cannon blocks reporting it and advocates push for a compromise or trimmed amendments. Representative Watson shifted stance after talks with Grosvenor and the White House, signaling opposition to reporting the pending bill. The committee met with an unofficial poll showing no path to passage for the current bill. Beveridge offers meat inspection amendments placing costs on packers, while Connecticut Rep Henry notes limited changes likely this session.
