Consideration by Senate Democrats of
the selection Of leader to succeed
Senator Underwood of Alabama in the

Senator Underwood, who returned
here today. announced recently that
because of ill-health he would not be
the sSth Congress assemblies and
would retire March 3.
The leadership vacancy was discuss
ed by several Democratic groups today
after adjournment of the first Demo-
cratic conference of the present ses-
sion.
Senator Harrison, Mississippi. who
has been mentioned in connection with
the party leadership today definitely
eliminated himself as a candidate.
Another prominent Democrat, Sena-
tor Walsh of Massachusetts, chairman
Of the Democratic senatorial campaign
committee in the last election, who also
has been mentioned as possible candi-
date for the leadership. is understood
to have informed friends that he could
not be considered.
The leadership question has not
reached the stage of contest and none
may develop, it was declared. The
whole question will be deferred for
malIy until the new Senate assemblies
to await counsel with newly elected
members.

SHIP BILL PRAISED
AND SLAMMED IN
HOUSE DEBATE

washington, Nov. 23-Brought up
in the House. the administration
shipping bill was commended and
condemned during five hours of de-
bate today. in which leaders on both
sides of the battle took part.
Five speeches-three for and two
against the measure-were made.
Two full days Of debate remain be-
fore the bill will be laid before the
House for amendment.
Chairman Greene, of the mer-
chant marine committee. which
framed it. and Representative Ed
monds, Pennsylvania, Republican,
made the principal arguments for
the bill. Representative John M.
Nelson, Republican, Wisconsin. was
selected by Democrats IN charge of
the opposition to first urge its de-
feat. Representative Bankhead, of
Alabama, Democratic member of the
merchant marine committee, attack
ed the bill at length, and Rerpresen-
tative Watson. Republican, Pennsyl-
vania. defended it briefly.
The good which he believed would
come to the country through opera
tion of an adequate merchant ma
rine was emphasized by Chairman
Greene. He contended it would give
employment to thousands retain in
the United Stataes 100000 an
nually in freight payments. prevent
the necessity of the country facing
another wartime tonnage crisis. and
right the injustice done the Ameri-
can marine over a long period Of
years.
In giving a detailed explanation
Of the bill, Mr.. Edmonds said he
was firmly convinced that the COM
pensation provided was sufficiently
large to make UP for the loss of OPP
Grafton under the American flag and
guarantee an adequate fleet.
Declaring the government was
proposing to rob Peter to pay Paul.
Mr.. Bankhead told the House the
issues involved. and the contemplate
ed expenditures were so great that
it was the duty of the bills pro-
ponents to show there was another

monstrosity."
Under this measure, he said, "the
Standard Oil company. owning its
own tankers to move its own oil for
its own benefit. is to be handed out
of the treasury four or five million
dollars annually, Just for the priv
lege of hauling its own stuff in its
own tankers. It is a bold and naked
raid on the treasury. The steel cor
poration is similarly benefited while
