Congress Attempts To Clear Docket Before Adjournment
Washington, Oct. 11—(U.P.)—Congress stepped up the pace today to clear its docket of farm and displaced persons legislation, act on a disputed nomination and quit for the year Saturday.
Senate Republican Leader Kenneth S. Wherry, Neb., predicted the get-away date will be met. Democratic Whip Francis J. Myers, Pa., said this is "possible" despite the fact that some last-minute hitches may develop.
House leaders have said repeatedly the house is ready to adjourn whenever the senate finishes its work.
Here is the way the situation stands on the three major senate issues:
Farm—The senate is expected to pass before nightfall the Anderson bill which provides for a system of flexible farm price supports. President Truman, who favors high rigid supports, has called a White House conference in an apparent attempt to heal the breach between senate Democrats on the issue.
Displaced Persons—The senate judiciary committee scheduled a vote today on house-approved legislation increasing from 205,000 to 339,000 the number of D. P.'s to be admitted into the United States. If the bill is not cleared for floor debate, Democratic leaders plan to ask the senate to take it away from the committee. Committee chairman Pat McCarran, (D.-Nev), has asked them not to take action.
Nomination—Administration leaders will call up Leland Old's nomination to the Federal Power commission the latter part of the week, perhaps on Friday. Olds' critics believe they have the votes to reject him, despite the grass roots campaign in his behalf by Mr. Truman and Democratic Chairman William M. Bovlen, Jr.
There are, of course, other issues still to be settled, but it is doubtful whether they are urgent enough to force a change in adjournment plans. Wherry told newsmen he did not believe any fight would develop over Mr. Truman's request for $1,314,010,000 in cash and contract authority for the military assistance program.
Wherry, who has opposed the program, said frankly that "we haven't got the votes" to prevent approval of such an appropriation.
It was expected that both houses would agree to compromise on three bills still in Senate-house conference committees — the $14,00,-000,000 military appropriation bill, the government executives' pay raise measure, and minimum wage legislation.
The house voted 305 to 1 yesterday to instruct its conference on the military spending bill to insist upon giving the air force enough funds for 58 groups.
