House Passes Subsidy Bill in Hardened Political Battle
Washington The ship subsidy bill, urged by President Harding as essential to save the American merchant marine, passed the House 205 to 184 after a week of heated debate. Sixty nine Republicans opposed the measure, plus four Democrats who crossed party lines. The bill now goes to the Senate, where opposition from Democrats and insurgent Republicans looms, making passage uncertain. Harding achieved a rare executive victory, pushing the bill to the floor on his insistence.
