HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, ORECON MONDAY, JULY 28, 1947 PACE TWELVE Harmony In World Affairs, Domestic Issue Slugfests Mark 80th Congress Route By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL - WASHINGTON July 28 (AP) Sign posts pointing toward teamwork, with the White House on world affairs, slugging matches on domestic problems and hot 1948 election Issues stand out along the rough road the 80th congress traveled to its half-way mark. The first session croshed to o close in Sunday's early hours. Adiournment until January unless President Truman or republican leaders coll an emergency session sooner shot off a raucous, roaring political scrap in the senate and a back-slopping, rollicking song fest in the house. Weary members now ore beating a path back home to .find out what the people think of this first "streamlined" congress, this first republican-controlled congress in o decade and a ha it . .i i. I -l .. ..t TVin .lrp.dV are MlflD- i He Brass roots reauwuw w mm" " r ing up tor nt year's electioneering for president, til 5 house members and 33 of the W senators. For Instance: Terelire tones and labor, the high cost of living and the high CO,tA!(d,thenat'enough legislative leftovers for the next session to concoct a sizeable dish of political controversies. Issues Postponed Held on the hook until next winter were such measures as universal military training, long-range housing, military cooperation with Latin America. minimum wage boost for the lowest paid Interstate workers and loyalty checks on government workers. It was a political battle royal in the senate that kept congress on the Job on a Sabbath for the first time since 19J9. Democrats had succeeded in blocking a republican bid for a full scale Investigation into Attorney General Clark's handling of vote fraud charges in Kansas City. Senator Brewster in-w uicu w j H. -j- . proval of the, nomination of Philip B. Perlman of Baltimore to be , aollcltor general, a top-rank spot under Clark. ; Tempers were raw and faces flushed after Senator Ferguson ( It Mich.) complained that the democrats had filibustered against the vote fraud Inquiry and Senator Connally (D-Tex.) came back with an I angry reply. Senator Vandenberg R-Mich.), as presiding officer, at! one point ordered Connally to "take his seat." j Brewster finally gave up. The senate confirmed Perlman M to 11 and adjourned at 3:49 a. m. (2:38 a. m. EST). In the house, members had finished s final fling of republican- democratic bickering over economy around p. m. Saturday. , So, arms around shoulders, they gave way to close harmony of , the barbershop variety. They tuned up on old favorites, like "Home j Bweet Home." Shortly after midnight they voted to go there. Tax Issue Back at the cross roads there are such ready-made political Issues as: 1 Taxes. Congress voted twice to trim Income taxes $4,000,000,000. President Truman vetoed both bills. The vetoes stuck. The bills died. ! 2. Labor. Congress passed a bill to make unions liable to punish ment for many things never before penalized. Organized labor and , the president denounced it. Congress made the bill a law over a veto. : 3. Spending. Republicans and democrats squabbled all through the session about trimming government expenses. j Mr. Truman asked last January for some $37,500,000,000 to run , the government In the year that began July 1. I The house decided to whack $8,000,000,000 off the total The senate figured $4,900,000,000 would be enough of a slash. They never did get together and split the difference, even though they were supposed to j under the 1948 reorganization law which supposedly streamlined con- tress. ! Congress did make some big nicks In the budget. But right Into the closing hours there were arguments about how big. The highest I republican estimate was $4,995,000,000, the lowest democratic calculation -in the neighborhood" oi $i. too ,000,000. Records of the house appropriations committee show: Mr. Truman wanted $37,640,551555. The house cut $3,445,971,525, the senate cut $2. 312,833,545, and what they finally agreed on was $34,863,441,360 or a reduction of-$2,777,110,195. 4. Living costs. The lawmakers heard plenty and said plenty about high prices, they didn't do much about them except: Continue rent controls until next March, with permission for land lords to boost rents 15 per cent in exchange for leases running through all of 1948.
