WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

washington, rep. lo.-lne otale
of Virginia scored great victory at
the White House today when it was
announced that the contract for re
conditioning the former German
liner Leviathan would be awarded to
the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company. The bid OF
this concern, amounting to S6,7S7,O10
and which was submitted to the U.
S Shipping Board some weeks ago.
was the lowest one received. I'M
mediately after the amounts of the
bids were received, Senator Lodge.
of Mass, Republican floor leader and
close personal friend Of President
Harding, endeavored to have the
work done at the Boston Navy Yard.
Lodge is a candidate for reelection
and hoped to pull this firm in his
stand that the government should
accept the lowest bid received for the
work, declaring at the same time
that the administration was on-
posed to the United States that he
did not intend to use his office as
Chief Executive to favor any par
ticular section of the country on
matters of this character. The wcrk
to be done at the Virginia port VIII
mean a gool deal to those men who
were recently laid off because of the
lack of work there.
President Harding was remark'ng
about the wonders of the wireless
telephona which has been insta led
in the White House. He stated tha.
Mrs. Harding and himself had
heard wonderful band concert ONLY
the other night, while seated N the
House.
"I am convinced that Edison was
right" commented the President to
the newspaper men, "when he SAID
that if ants ever talk we'll hear
them
President Harding throw a bomb
shell into the ranks of the RepublI-
can leaders YESTERDAY afternoon
when he declared himself as unalter-
ably opposed to the raising of suf-
ficient money to pay the soldiers
bonus through a sale of bonds He
also declared that he would oppose
the raising of money to pav tn"
bonus through additional taxation or
through the imposition of those
taxes which have already been re-
moved through the action of Con-
grcSs.
Senators and Representatives on
Capitol Hill who were counting on
the Presidents aid in this matte"
were very much alarmed tod"v. They
were willing to saddle any kind Of .
