Morse Says Velo
Of Natural Gas
Bill Not Likely
Washington (U.R) Sen. Wayne
Morse said today there is "no
prospect" of a presidential veto
if the Senate passes the con
troversial natural gas bill.
The Oregon Democrat said,
"The Senate is the last real hope
for preventing a raid upon the
consumers of America."
Morse expressed his opposi
tion to the bill in a speech pre
pared for the opening of the
third week of Senate debate on
the House-passed measure.
Morse recalled that former
President Truman vetoed the
somewhat similar Kerr natural
gas bill in 1950.
No Prospect Seen
j "Truman saved the gas con
sumers of the nation," the sena
tor said. "Unfortunately, there
is no prospect for a presidential
save, if it should become neces
sary, this year."
Morse said the division of the
Senate on the bill is close and
just as in 1950 a presidential
veto could not be overriden. He
said opponents still "may very
well win" "their fight when the
Senate reaches a vote on the
bill, probably late this week.
But supporters were claiming a
six-to-ten vote edge.
The bill would remove pro
ducers of natural gas from direct
fedejal regulation by the Fed
eral Power Commission. Sup
porters claim that by spurring
competition, the bill will insure
an adequate supply of gas. Op
ponents say it will lead to in
creased consumer prices.
