Shipping bill sent along at the game time
Washington reports the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill and the Jones act faced off as subsidy and class legislation and were said to move together to influence President. Republicans in the Senate delayed action on the Jones measure while awaiting the McNary-Haugen report approval. The farm bill authorizes 300 million dollars for a loan fund and marketing apparatus. the shipping bill proposes 250 million for private shipping subsidies. Senate debates drew analogies to Blaine Norris, arguing the shipping bill is a direct subsidy, with conference reports passed for prearranged leadership agreement. Overriding a veto appears possible in the Senate, and House votes have signaled sufficient support for passage.
