Senate to. Lay Aside Shipping Bill Whenever "a Rural Credits Bill is Presented.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The admins tration bill to extend government aid to the merchant marine was drawn into a serious tangle with rural credits ana bonus Legislation today in the sspate
 After the advocates of early action for relief of the farmer had counted noses and announced they had majority in favor of euacting such legislation ahead of the ship bill, the republican leaders conceded on the senate floor that the ship measure sponsored by President Harding would have to be laid aside whenever a rural credits bill was ready.
 Earlier in the day two senate com rafttees had held hearings concurrenty' receiving many suggestions for agricui- tural relief and hearing the authors of several credits proposals which already are pending in congress-
 On the senate floor both Senators liar rison, democrat, Mississippi ana slln, mons. democrat, North Carolina, offered rural credit bills, the former. attempt ing without success to attack the Len root Anderson bill to the annual treas ury appropriation bill and Senator Sim mons offering an agricultural measure oi his own as an amendment to the shlp- ping bill.
 Senator Simmons also presented aGalT the soldiers bonus bill vetoed onsce by
 President Harding and told the senate he wanted to gee whether the country would vote a bonus to shipping inter ests before it helped the farmer ana tns former service man.
 Senator Simmons called the Lenroot Anderson measure "a little pop gun bill
 This is no time for pop gun legisla tion," he said.
 He added. that the recent elections were a rebuke to the administration, anT that as a result the newspapers were filled now woth propaganda telling o
 the great things the administration going to do for the farms"
 The shipping bill, which had been lalt aside in favor of the treasury approprl ation measure, was taken up late III th' day and Chairman Jones of the com merce committee proceeded with tn opening statement in behalf or the leg islation.
 Senator Jones urged the senate U pass on the rneasnre-on. it's merits" ani decared election results afforded n' more argument for laying the bill asid than. for abandonment of the whole ad ministration programme.
