Spight predicts defeat for ship subsidy bill in House
Representative Spight of Mississippi, ranking minority member on the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee, says the ship subsidy bill will not pass the House and is unlikely to leave the committee. He notes the committee of eighteen is divided, with five of six Democrats and several Republicans opposed. The House Naval Affairs Committee recently favored the Meyer bill, which would grant retired navy officers ordered to active duty the rank pay and allowances of their active counterparts, provided three years of active service postretirement.
