COMPROMISE IS PROPOSED
on SHIP PURCHASE BILL
RESOLUTION WOULD LIMIT con.
SIDERATION TO HOURS
NEXT WEEK.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA com
promise resolution on the administra-
ton ship purchase bill was launched
in the house by Chairman Padgett of
the house naval committee. II car.
ries a rule limiting consideration OF
the bill to six hours next week.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lS.-The fight
over the government ship purchase
bill was shifted from the senate to
the house. In the senate. the meas
Ire. blocked by determined republl-
can opposition, was displaced as the
unfinished business, and cloture
rule designed to forcibly terminate the
filibuster was taken up,
Administration forces began work
on a compromise bill to be passed
through the house. Leaders on that
side OF the capitol, however. were far
from confident that the proposed COM
promise would unite the divided sen.
ate democrats or win support from re-
publicans. They declared the admin
istration did not concede enough in
the proposed compromise to secure its
passage
The cloture rule presented in the
senate met the same republican fill
buster that had characterized the
shipping bill, and new conference OF
members of the senate was called for
today to consider the advisability OF
continuing the fight on the cloture
proposal or OF abandoning it and re-
turning to a direct contest for the
shipping bill.
