Senate Sidetracks
Trillium’s Welfare
Department F 1
WASHINGTON, (/P>—'The Sen
ate turned today to a brisk scrap
over President Truman’s reorgan
ization plan No. 2, after handing
the chief executive a stinging de
feat on his plans for a welfare de
partment in the cabinet.
Both sides said the fight No. 2
—to transfer the bureau of em
ployment from the federal secur
ity administration to the labor de
partment— probably would wind
up in an administration victory.
Leading opponents said private
ly that the necessary 49 votes—
required majority of the full Sen
ate—could not be mustered to
support the resolution of disap-,
proval.
The President’s plan for a new
welfare department combining
the functions of health, education
and welfare under a single secre
tary of cabinet rank was side
tracked late yesterday by a 60 to
32 vote—11 more than required.
The fight centered lar g e 1 y

To Try Strategy
On Statehood Bills
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Last
ditch strategy which would seek
to bring action on the Alaska and
Hawaii Statehood bills was being
considered yesterday.
Postponement of a House recess
until Aug. 25 gave advocates of
Statehood for the two areas an op
portunity to try Monday to get ac
tion on the enabling measures.
Rep. J. Hardin Peterson <D.
Fla.) said he would ask approval
of his plan by the House public
lands committee when it meets to
day. Thq committee recommended
earlier that the House pass the
Statehood bills.
*T think the advice of the com
mittee will be to attempt to call
up the bills by direct resolutions
by-passing the rules committee.”
He said next Monday probably
will be the last day this may be
done and if it fails then, further
action is improbable before Jan
uary.
Ewing would work in the job for
socialized medicine and <3> whe
ther or not the plan followed out
or violated recommendations of
the Hoover commission on govern
ment reorganization.

Thomas Asks For
Disarmament;
Not Arms Aid
WASHINGTON, </P) — Socialist
Norman Thomas urged Congress
today to take the lead in one more
attempt at world disarmament be
fore voting to send military sup
plies to Europe.
Thomas testified before the
combined Senate foreign relations
and armed services committees as
the House prepared to open de
bate on the administration $1,450,
000,000 foreign arms bill.
House leaders said they are con
fident the measure will be ap
proved, possibly by Friday, with
out substantial change in its terms.
Thomas, many times a candi
date for President, told the Sena
tors he thinks any arms shipments
under the bill should be delayed
until a coordinated defense of the
North Atlantic community is
worked out.
“Such concerted agreement for
defense would have a practical
and moral backing now lacking,
if, preceding any further expendi
tures in the ghastly arms race, an
effort were made by the United
States or by the nations in the At
lantic Pact through the United
Nations to bring about universal
disarmament under effective in
Gen. Arnold
OK’s B-36 Bomber
SAN FRANCISCO, (/P) — The
B-36 bomber, which is under in
vestigation by a Congressional
sub-committee, had the approval
of Gen. Henry H. <Hap) Arnold,
wartime air force commander.
The retired general made that
statement yesterday in advance of
the committee’s inquiries on the
West Coast concerning the long
range bomber.
“Political favoritism and busi
ness relationship had nothing to
do with the selection of the B-36
as a long range military bomber,”
Arnold told newsmen yesterday.
“I should know. I am the one
who selected it.”
He described the B-36 as the
“best of its kind and time” and
said its performance had demon
tsrated it was well chosen.
