calls for "fiscal and budget re
forms" with savings estimated by
Tydlngs at from $200,000,000 to
1000,000,000 a year.
But even If the Benate gives
quick approval, House action ap
pears uncertain.
President Truman urged the re
vision of the unification act in a
special message to Congress ear
lier this year. But today the House
armed services committee has
held no hearings. The measure is
not on the list that the House
committee has been pushing for
this session.
The unification bill became
pending Senate business last
week-end with debate scheduled
to start late today after Senate ac
tion on a long list of minor bills.
House leaders meanwhile push
ed for approval of another de
fense measure—a bill that would
pay for officers and men of all the
military and naval services an av
erage of 14 per cent.
Biggest pay boosts, of nearly 50
per cent, would go to brigadier
generals and their counterparts.
Complaints of some House mem
bers against this situation delayed
a vote last week end.
House leaders still expected to
pass the pay bill today or Tuesday
and send it to the Senate.
