FOES PLAN DEATH OF SHIP SUBSIDY Senators Would Kill Meas- ure by Referring It to Committee. Br the Associated Press. Senate enemies of the bill to subsi- dize the American merchant marine aim to kill it in committee if they can. Az the Senate moved to consider the bill today Senators Wheeler, Demo- crat, of Montana and Clark, Demo- crat, of Missouri said they would try to refer it to the Commerce Commit- tee, with Clark adding: “It will never get out.” The House passed the bill last week by the slender margin of eight votes. After an attack by opponents—mainly from inland cities—the big House Pemocratic majority split over the legislation, designed to pay ship com- panies the difference between foreign #nd domestic operating and construc- tion costs. Loopholes Are Seen. Clark asserted the measure Wwas *full of loopholes” which would enable the shipping lines to obtain graft. “It is the worst piece of legislation ever before Congress,” he said. Senator Copeland, Democrat, of New York sought last week to bring a gimilar bill before the Senate, but withdrew his motion because of what he believed was an adverse sentiment. Without the legislation, Copeland srgued, “there is a probability that the merchant fleet would be wiped out.” Branded as “Unworkable.” But in the House, opponents, led by | Representatives Wearin, Democrat, of Jowa, and Moran, Democrat. of Main branded it as “unworkable. and as opening the Treasury to the *shipping trust.” The Government now aids the American merchant marine through mail contracts involving about £20.- 000,000 annually. The new bill would eupplant this policy with a direct subsidy. It also would increase lia- bility of "owners for loss of life or injury to passengers. REV. WILLIAM H. PETTUS DIES IN EVERETT, MASS.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, ‘Baer’s Wife, Opposed to Fights, ill Not Seek Title, Hopes Max By the Associated Press. NEW YORK., July 1.—Tears welling in her Irish blue eves, Mary Ellen Sullivan Baer spoke simply yesterday | at her wedding breakfast: “I never want Max to be champion ag#in—I hate fighting.” A strangely subdued Max Baer, irre- pressible clown of the fighting ring, solemnly placed a brawny arm over the shoulders of his bride of a day. who has never seen & prize fight, and agreed quietly. “Just as you say, Pumpkin. It's all right, you're tired.” It was an unexpected climax to the merry little.party atop a Fifty-seventh street penthouse where a few friends gathered to toast the future happiness of the former heavyweight champion and the slim, black-haired girl he married yesterday in Washington. Baer, his sun-tanned torso meagerly | draped in a pair of tailored trunks and beach sandals, bounced restlessly | around the penthouse terrace agreeing vociferously to his wife’s words. “You know, I don't like to fight.” he said. “I never did. Except when I'm hurt” But it wasn't Baer who was the, center of attention today. It was his quiet, little-spoken bride—whom he | wooed for two years in person, by telephone and by wire. | Yesterday Max accompanied his | wife to his first Cathclic mass. To- | morrow he and Mrs. Baer go to Asbury Park, N. J., to the Summer home of Ancil Hoffman, his manager. And then, he said, he probably would go to Hollywood on moving picture busi- ness. But wherever he goes he goes to church on Sunday, or else “there’s going to be a fight,” announced Mrs. Baer, “You know,” she added, apparently to herself, “as long as Max was cham- | pion I couldn't marry him. I prefer | him as just Max Baer.” After Max's bride had taken him to church she said she hoped she | wouldn’t be excommunicated because | of the fighter's previous divorce. She | Turn your old trinkets, jeweiry and watches into MONEY at— A.Kahn Jnc. Arthur J. Sundlun, Pres.| 43 YEARS at 935 F STREET 8th NAtional 0311 | declared she had never missed a mass | in her life. “I certainly hope Tl be able to reconcile the marriage with my church,” she said earnestly. “If not, I realize I'll be excommunicated, but | I'm willing to face it. I've never col sidered Max anything but a German.” | She looked at Max for an answer, but he was quiet. He was silent, too, when questioners tried to learn | | whether he was a member of any | Jewish congregation. “I can't say whether I'd become a Catholic. I don’t know enough about it,” he said finally. MRS. J. A. FRINK DEAD | Resident of Capital for 15 Yea Expires in Kansas City. Mrs. Allen R.
