WASHINGTON, —A bi-par-1

Chairman Vandenberg (R.

declarat on as a formal preamble
o a measure authorizing President
Truman to send the two southern
European countries $400,000,000 in
aid.
The plan, obviously intended to

Congress Outlaws
Portal Suits
I
WASHINGTON, (/P) — On the
strength of decisive House and
Senate victories for legislation
killing portal pay suits, Republi
• cans spoke confidently today of
overriding a veto by President
; Truman if necessary.
The Senate vote for a measure to
outlaw virtually all pending and
future portal claims was 64 to 34.
It now goes to the House, which
j passed a similar bill three weeks
ago, 435 to 56.
Next week a Houes-Senatc con
• i
ference committee will iron out
! the differences. Ratification is a
foregone conclusion. Then the bill
will go to the White House.
With a two-thirds vote needed
to override a veto, GOP Congres
j sional leaders could point to the
fact that they mustered the requir
ed strength—and more—in both
the House and the Senate.
House To Consider
Tax Slash Bill i

WASHINGTON, (/P) — Republi
1 can leaders will put their $3,840.
000,000 tax-slashing bill before
; the House next Wednesday under
I a procedure requiring members to
; vote for this cut or none.
No amendments irom the floor j
I will be allowed and the showdown
| vote will come on Thursday.
| Speaker Martin <R.-Mass.\ said i
the bill “definitely will pass.”
Democratic leaders quickly took j
a “no cut at all” stand, backing up
; President Truman’s content i o n I
! that any treasury surpluses this
year should be used for payments
on the national debt.
The legislation, approved 16 to 9
by the House ways and means
committee Friday, would lower by
30 per cent the taxes of more than'
20,000,000 “little men” and give a
20 per cent cut to most of the
other 26,000,000 income taxpayers.
The cuts would be retroactive to
January 1.

Magnuson protested to the de

asked that the department try to

Dean Acheson, acting secretary

Canada’s objections to keeping the
cutoff open.

that Canada keep the cutoff open
