HOUSE BUSHES
/. BILL To SAVE
U.s.. SHIPPING
Administration Measure Is
Held Essential to Future of
Merchant Marine
International News Service
In the face of stiff opposition,

lntefnAtl0nAI news SefVlCo
In the face Of stiff opposition,
leaders today thrust the Admin
istration merchant marine bill be-
fore the House, with the hope Of
obtaining quick passage.
Chairman Bland CD Of Vir-
ginia, of the Merchant Marine
Committee, declared its immediate
enactment is necessary to prevent
possible disruption of the entire
merchant marine.
The measure has been claSsed
as one Of President RooseVelt's
must" bills, but Speaker Byrns
now classifies it as a measure
which Ought" to be passed.
A revival of merchant ship
building, with replacement of a
large part Of the merchant fleet,
was predicted by Representative
Bland If the measure becomes
law.
New Ships Planned
Representative Wearin CD OF
Iowa, leading the fight against
the bill, claims it fails to carry
out Mr.. Roosevelt's shipping
policy.
The bill would:
Empower q maritime author
fly to require lines to construct
new ships to obtain benefits.
Grant aid to shipping COM
panies on two grounds; differ.
ence in cost of building ships
here and abroad, and differ
ence to cost of operating them.
Continue Government con-
struction loans.
Require 100 per cent Ameri-
can crews, except for an allow
ance of Is per cent aliens in
the stewards department.
Revise ship owners liability.
This is over the protests Of
steamship owners, who say the
liberal provisions place competi-
tive burden upon them.
&c. C. Control Rejected
Confer on maritime authority
power, with Presidents ap-
proval, to cancel or modify
present ocean mail contracts.
Representative 81 and de-
clared:
Most Of the ships Of the
merchant marine are over age,
and must be replaced by mod
ern ships. Something must be
done quickly or our flag will
disappear from the seas"
The House committee rejected
the Presidents proposal for dis
continuance of construction loans
and also refused to transfer
authority over shipping to the
I.C.C. The committee ruled that
construction loans must be con-
tinued to assure building of new
ships and it objected to placing
jurisdiction in the T.C.C. because
that agency is railroad minded"
A drive for a aforementioned
merchant marine is expected to be
made during the debate.

President Puts Congress
On Spot by Tax Proposals
international News Service


Again demonstrating his apti-
tude for shrewd and dramatic
political timing, President Roose-
welt today had definitely shifted
to Congress the responsibility for
enacting a far-reaching tax.the-
rich program.
Many of the hot and weary
legislators were not overjoyed at
the prospect, but it was considered
unlikely any appreciate number
will dare vote mo" if a final roll
call is obtained. Administration
spokesman are pounding it home
that the issue Of rediStributing
wealth-particularly when backed
by the President Of the United
States-is q dangerous one to
buck.
The President was in the posi-
ton of having answered his critics
who charged he had proposed in
heritance, gift, big income, and
corporation taxes without idea of
action at this session but solely
to furnish himself with a 1886
campaign issue. He now has re-
quested adoption of his program
and by Saturday night when the
existing special sales taxes expire,
if humanity possible.
Opponents may interject some
highly controversial collateral
issues, such as bonus and tariff
taxes, and thereby delay or ulti.
mately block a portion Of the
White House proposal, but Mr..
Roosevelt stands ready to point
an accusing finger at them.

ENLARGED CREDIT
UNIT ASKED IN BILL
Senate Revision Keeps Con-
troll in Majority of Re-
serve Board.
BY the Associated Press.

Drastically revised from the form in
which it passed the House but retain
ing control of the Nations credit In q
majority of the Federal Reserve
Board, the administration banking
bill was reported to the Senate bank
ing Committee today by the Glass
Subcommittee.
Credit control under the revised
draft would be placed in an open
market committee composed of a
even-member reserve board and five
representatives of the IL Reserve
banks.
Existing law makes the II Reserve
bank governors the Open Market
Committee and the House bill sets up
the whole Reserve Board as the COM
mittee, with an Advisory Committee
of five Reserve Bank governors.
The seven members of the new Re-
serve Board would be known as gov
ernors" and be appointed for 14-year
terms.
Would Remove Secretary.
To avoid political influences, the
Secretary of the Treasury and the
controller of the currency would be
removed as members of the board sc
DAYS after the bill became law. The
House bill retained the existing board
set-up Of six appointive members and
two ex-off1cio members - Secretary
Morgenthau and Controller ]. F. T
OConnor.
The new Board of Governors" as
the Reserve Board would be known
would have q chairman and vice
chairman, to be selected from among
the board members by the President
to serve four-year terms. None OF
the governors could be reappointed
and not more than four of the gov
ernors could be members of one politi-
cal party.
To Initiate Policies.
The Open-Market Committee would
have authority to initiate Lolicies
having to do with buving and selling
of Government securities, discount
rates and reserve requirements, but as
in existing law any of the IL Reserve
banks could refrain from following an
open-market policy adopted. 1t would
be mandatory upon all the IL banks
in the House bill.
Heads of the IL Reserve banks
would be known as presidents and
vice presidents, instead of governors
and vice governors.
BY vote of not less than five of
the Reserve Board, it could raise re-
serve requirements against deposits to
a maximum doubling existing re-
quirements "in order to prevent
Injurious credit expansion or contrac-
tion." Existing requirements are T.
10 and Is per cent.
The bill provides a national bank
may make real estate loans secured
by first liens If the property is located
within 100 miles, provided the loan
does not exceed so per cent Of the
appraised value and is not for more
than five years.
Loans not to exceed so per cent OF
the appraised value could be made II
they were secured by an amortized
mortgage under which installment
payments were suf1icient to amortize
so per cent or more of the loan In
