win opposition votes, has offered
several minor amendments to
make its bill a littlu more like the
T-H law. The big issue now is
what to do in case of strikes that
endanger the national welfare.
The Taft act authorizes injunc
tions. Some Democrats think seiz
ure is strong enough, and will
both win votes and keep from an
tagonizing labor.
The House was in adjournment
until Monday. Most activity on
Capitol Hill today centered in va- .
rious Senate committees:
Atomic — Chairman David E.
Lilienthal of the atomic energy
commission, on the defensive for
weeks during the investigation of
his management of the AEC, sud
denly took the offensive.
He said the AEC will ask the
FBI to check an article on atomic
security in this month’s “Nation’s
Business.” Lilienthal indicated he
thinks it may be n violation. Also,
he said-, it was inaccurate, reck
less and irresponsible.
The article said, among other
things, that the U. S. “should
have about 400 new atomic bombs
now.
Meanwhile, Senator Hicken
looper <R.-Iowu> continued his at
tack on Lilienthal, and said to
day's session before the Senate
House atomic committee would be
devoted to “waste” in the AEC’s
operation.
ECA—Senators said today that
economic cooperation administra
tor Paul Hoffman has won his
fight against a heavy cut in Euro
; pean recovery spending. Economy
advocates have been urging a sub
. stantial reduction—maybe a bil
lion dollars—in spending for Eu
I ropean recovery.
But yesterday Hoffman pointed
; out that ‘his cut would not only
hurt Europe but the U. S. as well
because it will mean less pur
chasers of American cotton, tobac
co, wheat, butter, lumber and
other commodities at a time when
bus'ness is shaky.
“The push for a big reduction
is al! washed up.” Senator Robert
son 'D.-VaP said. Discussions are
before the Senate appropriations
committee.
DP's—A bill that would swing
open the doors of the United
States to more of Europe’s dis
placed persons was called up for
a hearing by the Senate judiciary
sub-committee. Pressure has been
put on the Senate by many top of
ficials to hurry up action on the
■ bill.
The House on June 2 passed a
1 similar measure boosting from
205,000 to 339,000 the number to
I be admitted up to June 30, 1951.
Reorganization — Both House
and Senate yesterday approved a
bill giving the President power to
reorganize the executive branch
of government. Mr. Truman was
expected to sign it promptly. But
he probably won’t begin using his
new authority until Monday, be
cause under the law he can sub
mit proposals only on days when
both Houses of Congress arc in
session. The House is idle until
Monday.
Other committee hearings were
conducted on putting the adminis
tration farm program into effect
on hogs; on legislation to set up
a civil rights commission, and on
[ a bill to increase the minimum
| wage to 75 cents an hour.
