His ten years of memories Senate Overrides Veto Despite Try man Appeal WASHINGTON, June 23 (AP) Th lenara votad th Taft-Hartley labor bill Into low today by overriding . President Truman's veto 68 to 23. This wa mora than the two-thirds margin required to enact the hotly-cantasted curb on labor unions. The action was taken despite an 11th hour appeal from Mr. Truman to senata demo crats to uphold his June 20 veto and kill the measure as "dangerous legislation." Mr. Truman wrote Senator Bark lev (D-Ky.) just before tha senata vote that he It convinced the bill will "do serious harm ' to the country. 1 The new law provides for government injunctions to halt national emergency strike for at least 80 days. It also bans the closed shop and amends the Wagner, act to re strict some other union activities. ' The result was a major victory for the re publican-controlled congress over Mr. Truman Lost week the house sustained by a two-vote margin the president s veto of the $4,000,' 000,000 republican tax-cut bill. The house overrode the labor bill veto last Friday, by 331 to 83, a four to one mar gin. Thus more thon two-thirds of the members of congress, including many of hie own party, went against Mr. Truman's wishes. ' . Labor leaders bitterly assailed the measure. Calling it "slave bill," they and thai followers flooded lawmakers with thousands of messages urging them to sustain the. presi- dent's veto. n Foreign Aid May Be Cut WASHINGTON. June t3 lfl President Truman, going part way with Republican Senator Vanden berg. called for ouUide help today. In weighing America's foreign aid policy with this country' ability to pay. The democratic chief executive designated 19 leaders of business, labor, agriculture, education and re search as a Mnon-partian" commit tee to advise him on how much help can "safely and wisely" be sent abroad. The Implication was plain: That the United States may find It neces sary to stem the flow of dollars, f obd, fuel and materials to war-damaged nations. Grave Concern The "impact upon our domestic economy" of such aid is of "grave concern to every American," said Mr. Truman's announcement last night, and "merits most careful study." It was equally clear that the presi dent was making a final effort to prevent the bipartisan foreign policy from piling up in the veto-strewn wreckage of his domestic legislative program. Mr. Truman took the words "safely and wisely" lrom the call Vandenr berg sounded 10 days ago for a coun cil of democrats and republicans to help set the limits within which this government can plan its economic help to foreign nations. 00A Officials Run Regatta Oregon Outboard association of ficials were in charge of the motor boat races for the Jaycee Boat Re gatta held on Upper Klamath lake Sunday with Charles Shirley as chairman and announcer, Shirley kept the races moving right along according to schedule, keeping up a running patter regard ing' events, drivers, boats, sending out warnings of traffic danger to boats on the lake, paging persons. wanted on tne dock ana in general keeping things in apple-pie order throughout the afternoon.
