EQUALIZATION FEE
THEORY ENDORSED
House Committee May Report
Farm Aid Bill to Congress
Tomorrow.

BY the Associated Press.
By a vote OF 13 to 8. the equaliza-
ton fee principle Of the McNary- -Haugen
relief bill was approved today by the
House agricultural committee.
Seven Republicans and six Demo-
Gratis voted In support of the fee, while
six Republicans and two Democrats
joined in opposition
After the vote Chairman Haugen
predicted that the bill would be favor
ably reported tomorrow with probably
10 members voting in its support.
Mr. Haugen said that the equaliza-
ton fee provisions In the House bill
we're practically the same as those in
the farm relief bill recently approved
by the Senate agricultural committee.
Under the section applying to the fee,
he added. the proposed Federal farm
board would be directed to seek stabili-
zation Of the agricultural industry by
first applying the loan features of the
bill. In the event that cooperative
and other farm organizations should
be unable to bring about StabiliZation
in this way. he said the board then
would be empowered to resort to the
equalization fee.
The bill would authorize an appro-
priation of $400 900. .000 of which. $375.-
600 900 would be available for loans to
co-operatives and $25.000,000 for the
purchase of equipment and other
facilities needed by the co-operatives.

Rv the Associated tFPeh.
NEW YORK. March 20.--The New
York World today said 1t regarded as
an accomplished fact the biggest COM
munications merger on record. This
II said. was the combination OF the
Mackay companies, operating 5000 Pos
tai Telegraph Offices In the United
States, and the International Telephone
g. Telegraph Co.
The deal brings together companies
with combined assets of $225.O00 O0o
and with about l25,000 miles OF joined
cable. telephone and telegraph wires
In the United States, Canada. Mexico
Cuba and Central and South America.
Officials Keep Silent.
Neither Sosthenes Behn. head OF the
International Telephone g. Telegraph
Co, nor Clarence H. Mackay would dis
cuSs the reported merger, but the
World says Mr. Mackay. although be-
coming chairman of the international
Communications Co. as the merged
companies will be known, will practi-
callv retire from active affairs.
The merger as outlined will be on the
basis of one bond of the new company
for every Mackay preferred share and
three new International Communica-
tionS per cent non-cumulative, nom
voting preferred shares and one COM
mon share in the International Tele-
phone g. Telegraph for every four
shares of Mackay common.
The merger will see the ascension O.;
the Behn brothers--Col SostheneS Behn
and Herman Behn-whose family for
tune was founded in Porto Rico, over
the MackayS. California forty-niners.
The Mackay fortune was founded
when John w Mackay father Of the
present head of the Mackay companies,
discovered the famous Comstock Lode
in 1872.
Mackay Worth S5O,O00.0
The elder Mackay later started the
Postal Telegraph Co His son obtained
control of Commercial Gables and last
year the Federal Telegraph System on
the Pacific Coast Mr.. Mackay's per-
sonal fortune is estimated at $5o,-
100000. -
The Mackay system extends two
thirds around the world. from France
and Germany through the United
States to China. Its land system in
this country connects with the Cana
dian Pacific Railway Telegraphs in
Canada and with the Mexican system.
Through the Commercial Gable Co,
it operates seven cables between Europe
and America and one between Miami
end Havana. The Commercial Pacific
Cable Co. in which the Mackay inter-
ests have a substantial interest. oper-
ates a cable from San Francisco to
Manila and one from Manila TO
Shanghai
The merger follows closely on the
heels Of the fusion Of Eastern and
Associated Gable Companies with the
British Marconi Co in London. a COM
bine tying the far flung communication
units of the British Empire. Laws of
the United States prohibit the merging
of cable and radio companies.
