Mr. Truman sent this and other plans to congress June 20 They go into effect within 60 days unless the Senate or House I disapproves, The Senate action on plan No. 3 was an administration victory on the heels of a defeat. Tuesday, by a 60-to-32 vote, the Senate killed Mr. Truman's re organization plan number 1 to create a cabinet department of welfare from the Federal Secur ity administration. The Senate action appeared to cinch actual operation of the plan aimed at strengthening the labor department.

The chief executive now has six of his first seven reorganiza tion plans in the bag. The six will go into effect dt midnight tomorrow. There prob ably will be no more reorganiza tion action at this session of con gress. Another reorganization plan. No 7, also approved yesterday, transfers the Public Roads ad ministration, now in the General Services administration, to the commerce department.

Washington's Governor Langlle orders a ten percent cut In ex penditures for every department under his control. He takes this fairly drastic action after learn ing .that In April.'

Baxter, who has sat In the British House of Commons since 1935, said "If the Americans say they won't do business with a socialist government in Britain, the conservatives will lose."

The American decision repre sents the strongest and riskiest move taken by the Amerlran gov ernment to help the Yugoslav dic tator sinre he split with Mosrow nearly 14 months ago. It also settled a long standing argument between the national defense and state departments on whether shipment if a steel mill to Yugoslavia would endanger American security. Defense offi cials had frowned on the Idea.

Government officials who dis closed the approval of the Yugo slav plant request to a reporter said it was Intended to help com bat tht tightening Russian-directed economic blockade of Yugoslavia.
