 GET LEVIATHAN
 REPAIR CONTRACT
Giant Vessel When Recondi- toned Will Form Nucleus of
 Trans Atlantic PaSSen- ger Line
By Associated Pres.

Washington, February 14.@Chair- man Lasker of the shipping board. has decided to award the contract for reconditioning the liner Leviathau to the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock company tomorrow, it was said today on high authority, and the board will meet at o'clock tomor- row morning to ratify formally this decision. The Newport News com pany was the lowest bidder for the repair work.
 Chairman Lasker lunched with President Harding today and it is un- derstood left with the impression that he had the Presidents support in the stand he has taken to award the contract to the lowest bidder i'm stead of permitting navy yards to do the work
 Under plans now being worked out by the shipping board the Leyiathan, when it is reconditioned. will form the nucleua of transatlantic pas senger line under the American flag 70 compete with the larger lines un- htT lpTtiEH IidEs
 Under a ship subsidy plan. which is now n the hands of President Hard- ing and probably will be transmitted 10 Congress by the end of next week, it was said, the Leviathan and other former German transatlantic liners, the George Washington, America, and Princess Matoika will be sold to one of three or four recently organiz- ed American steamship companies which have alerady expressed a will ingness to bid for the ships, to pro- vide a transatlantic steamship serv- ice under the American flag com parable with that given by some of the foreign companies now in the transatlantic passenger trade.
 Mir. Lasker's intention became known late today after it had been said at the White House that the ad- ninistration attitude in the matter of the Leviathan was that the contract for reconditioning it should go to the company which made the lowest bid under the award called for some time ago by the shipping board. The New port News company's bid was s. 100000 and all the bids as called for will expire at midnight tomorrow if not previously acted upon.

Great LakeS-St. Lawrence Connection to Cost $260,- 100000 Is Opposed by
 Southern Congressman
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Age-HeraId
 onN nnn.idanr uuiIdi U

Washington, February 14.-Spe- cial.)-The west is willing to put over the Ford contract for Muscle Shoals if the south will support the bill connecting the great lakes with the St. Lawrence river to the end that the west might have water con nection with the Atlantic ocean.
 Announcement to that effect was made today by representative west ern congressman to representative southern congressman.
 The dean of each southern delega tion was approached. No answer was given. It is entirely probable. how ever, that the south, if the Ford con tract is regarded as in great danger or defeat, will caucus, and evolve an answer to the representation Of the west.
 The Great Lakes-St Lawrence con nection will require an expenditure by the government of $260,000 900. At present the south opposes the project That the west is willing to compro- mise, or trade, is regarded as indic4- tive that the west thinks it's scheme in grave danger and can be saved only by the west putting over Muscle Shoals over the silent protests of the administration and the bitter opposi- tion of the east
 The opponents of the Ford contract are playing for delay, it is obvious. \ superficial poll of the House and Senate completed tonight proves that the Ford contract. were it submitted tomorrow, would be enacted into law But if delay is effected, and the cleo tions pass into history. the contract will be defeated.
 For that reason. advocates of the Ford offer are urging Congress to action. and the opponents are work ing to the end that delay might he achieved Opponents are convinced that fertilizer will not be produced al Muscle Shoals and the testimony of W. E. Mayo, Fords engineer gives them great comfort
 But che farmers arc entirely satis- fled with the prospects. Advocates of the offer regard this fact as com plete answer to congressional skeptics

 BOND ISSUE FOR
 BONUS IS UNWISE
Is Seeking Way to Fulfill Promises and at the Same Time See That Stability
 IS.ReStored
By Associated Prnse

Washington. February 14.-Presi dent Harding thinks 1t Is lmprae- ticabIe to raise by bond issue at this nance the soldiers bonus. it was stated today at the white house, and he is unalterably opposed to the sug gested eight point tax program or to return to any of the taxes that have been repealed.
 The executive was represented as being favorably disposed toward the bonus legislation and 1t was em- phasized that when he appeared be- fore the senate last July to ask that it's enactment be deferred he had not taken a position of hostility. It also was stated that promises made by republicans in the 1920 primaries had not been lost sight of. but 1t was pointed out that no exact time had been fixed Tor the passage of an adjusted compensation bill.
 The attitude of the executive. il was added. had to be that of finding a sane and defensible condition of the fulfillment of the promises made on the one hand and having regard for restored stability on the other.
 Fears Bond Issue
 Holding that there was a question whether there was the same sweep ing determination at this time, that there was during wars responsibil- ity when the government could have raised almost any sum. the presi- dent was said to doubt the possibil- ity of obtaining through d bond issue the sum required for the soldiers bonus without an advance in inter est rates and the disturbing of the financial tranquility of the country.
 In this connection attention again was called that in the next fifteen months the government must refund some six and one half billions of dollars of pledges in the shape O. Victory notes and certificates of in- debtedness. Secretary Mellon and other fiscal officers of the govern ment have taken the position that these refunding operations would De handicapped by any additional issue of bonds or short time notes in con nection with the soldiers bonus.
 Work on the legislative sections ot the bonus bill was continued today by the house subcommittee with the expectation that 1t would be ready for the entire committed within a few days. Chairman Fordney thought the bill probably would be reported to the house in ten days.
