Farm Credits Group
Plan Early Test to
Push Bill Through

Washington, Dec. 1l.-Plans were
made today by Senate champions of
fram credits legislation to bring to
head earlier than first scheduled their
effort to set aside the administration
shipping bill in the Senate. The test,
it was said. might be made tomorrow
or Saturday and not later than Mon
day. with the result in doubt in view
OF the new program of the asrarian
group.
Instead of waiting for the Senate
banking committee to report a gen
Gral farm credits bill, members of the
farm bloc who are also opponents of
the shipping measure laid plans to-
day to urge the Norris agricultural
export Corporation bill for immediate
consideration 10 the temporary dis
placement of the shipping bill.
The Senate agriculture committee
was called to meet tomorrow to act
on the Norris bill. Committee mem
bers said they expected the bill to be
reported favorably tomorrow or Sat-
urday and declared they would urge
its being given immediate right of
way in the Senate.
Administration leaders promised to
resist such a movement
\ The shipping bill was attacked by
Senator Fletcher, Democrat, Florida,
as unsound and unwise. Declaring
ne favored building up an American
merchant marine as much as any adj
ministration spokesman, Senator
Fletcher said that subsidy is not the
remedy"
Replying to demands for a ship
ping remedy, Senator Fletcher said
that the government might we'll OPP
crate only the ships showing profit
and tie up the remainder, by distribu-
ton among the principal ports, until
shipping conditions improve. This,
he said. would save millions now be-
ing wasted in overhead.
