FARM RELIEF
BILL Sent TO
White HOUSE
Merchant Marine Act
Also Is Ready For
Signature of Presi-
dent; May Veto One

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Rl-The
McNary-Haugen farm relief and
Jones-White merchant marine bills,
two big pieces Of legislation that have
been knocking at the doors Of con-
gress for months, passed through
those portals yesterday and today
were awaiting entry into the White
House.
Congressional action on the two
controversial measures was completed
when the senate adopted conferences
reports in which differences between
the senate and house were adjusted.
With this over, speculation was re-
vived as TO what kind of n reception
they will be accorded BY President
Coolidge, who will get the bills as
soon as Vice President Dawes and
Speaker Longworth attach .heir sig
natures.
Although changed considerably
since its veto last year, the farm re-
lief bill setting up a farm board and
huge revolving fund to aid farmers
in marketing their crops, still car
ries the much-debated equalization
fee, and for this reason there appear
ed to be little doubt at the capitol
that the measure again would fail
Of executive approval.
This fee. which would be levied
against growers Of certain commodi-
ties 10 assist in stabilizing market
conditions when SURPRISES exist. has
been held unconstitutional by Attor-
ney General Sargent, and while il
would not be resorted to in the pres
ent bill until other provisions had
failed to meet requirements, it still
is believed 10 be unacceptable at the
White House. Leading hackers of
the measure. however. have hoped
that because Of the alternative pro-
vided before application of the fee,
the president would sign IL as the
best obtainable legislation at this
time.
The fate Of the shipping bill also
was in doubt today, although most OF
the leaders believed the president
would approve il. This measure au-
thorizes a big replacement program
for the government merchant marine,
requires sanction OF but five of the
sever members of the shipping board
for the sale Of vessels to private on
orators, doubles the existing $685.
100000 construction loan fund OF the
board, and liberalizes the ocean mail
contract system.
Waging a final assault on the bill
yesterday, western republican SEN
ators contended changes made by the
house had turned it into a subsidy
measure. Fighting under leadership
Of Senator Norris, republican. Nebras-
ka, the westerners, who supported the
first bill passed by the senate requir-
ing unanimous consent or the board
for ship sales, persisted in their ar
gument. but finally yielded and fore
ed a roll call on the conference re-
port. II was adopted 81 to 20.

BOMB WRECKS
CHICAGO HOME
Effort to Intimidate
Witness In Case of
Gangster Seen

CHICAGO, May 17.-CP-The home
Of Fred w. Eiche, one Of the Jurors
who convicted Eugene (Red) Ne
Laughlin of highway robbery two
days ago. was bombed last night.
Eiche himself was not at nome.
His wife. their three children, n sis
ter and six guests at an informal
party being held in the two story
frame structure, were severely shak-
en-.
The bomb. which was No. IS since
January /, was tossed on the Eiche
front porch just below a bedroom
window. No one was in the room, a
wall of which was torn away by the
explosion.
Shortly after the bombing, Eichc
was at the detective bureau identify
ing Gus Steinwick. secretary-treas-
urer of the Chauffeurs and Team
sters Local No. TAP, ms one of the two
men who last Monday attempted to
bride him.
Steinwick and another man, accord
ing to Eiche. came to him with n re-
quest that he give Red a good
break" Steinwick's companion was
introduced to Eiche as Robert Nc
Laughlin, brother of Red and presi-
dent OF the Checked Cab company.
When confronted by Robert Nc
Laughlin in court yesterday, how
ever, Eiche said he could not be sure
he was the man.
Eiche was positive in his identifi-
cation Of Steinwick. Although the
bombinb Of the Eiche home occurred
shortly before Steinwick was brought
in, the news was kept from Eiehe
for fear it might influence him
against identifying the prisoner.
Actual damage done by the bomb
was about $500. The explosion was
felt for several blocks around.
The bombing was the second evil
dence OF intimidation in the Nc
Laughlin case. A few hours earlier
police had learned that Walter J..
Newman. the New York diamond
salesman who was the chief witness
against Mclaughlin. had disappeared.
Newman in court yesterday had told
Judge McGoorty that the defendants
brother, Robert, had urged him 10
testify falsely.
