SHIPPING BEL MAY GO
INTO DISCARD AGAIN
Congress Wants to Adjourn Au
gust 19, and Long Debate
Won't Permit This
Bv a Staff Corrttpondtnt
WASHINGTON, July 8. Whether the
total appropriations for this seailon of Con
gress, which are certain to bs more than
$1,500,000,000, will be Increased by $50,000,
000 depends upon the ability of the Demo
cratic Senators to ngree on the provisions
of the Administration shipping bill.
The subcommittee of tho Commerce Com
mittee, having tho bill In charge, has failed
to reach nn agreement on several Important
features, so tins decided to report the meas
ure to the full commltteo Thursday with
out recommendation.
Some membors of Congress are Inclined
to bellevo tho shipping bill will be thrown
out for tho session to make posslblo nn ad
journment by August 19. In order to get
an adjournment on March 4 for tho last
session of Congress, the shipping bill wns
thrown Into tho discard. It Is realized that If
tho shipping bill 19 taken up In tho Scnnte
now It will mean a long debato nnd delay
of adjournment at n tlmo when members
of Congress are anxious to get Into their
campaigns for re-election. ""
Bills passed nnd favorably reported by
the arlous committee; Bhow that tho ap
propriations for the present session of Ccn
gresi will be nt least a half-bllllon dollars
lnrgcr than any preceding Congress. Tho
appropriations, nccnrdlng to ettalmatci
made by Rcpresentntlvo John J Flt7gora!d,
chairman of tho Houso Appropriations Com
mittee, will total approximately $1,650,
000,000. At least $600,000,000 of this
amount will bo for preparedness. Tho navy
bill, as" amended by tho Senate Commltteo,
now carries $81E,826,843, nnd tho army
bill approximately $282,000,000 It Is con
sidered certain the Senato will accept all
tho Increases and that, tho Houso wilt
ngreo to most of them. A $25,000,000 forti
fications bill has passed both Houses.
Whllo tho Houso has passed virtually all
the big annual appropriation bills, thero Is
still a desire on the part of tho Public
Buildings nnd Grounds Committee to put
through an omnlhui postofllco bill of nt least
$25,000,000 beforo ndjournmont That meas
uro Is about to be reported to the House.

subject was specifically "the rural home
and the farm woman" and ho urged thnt tho
