House Rejects Senate Amendment on Shipping Board Funds
The House voted 77 to 19 against a Senate change allowing the Shipping Board to use liquidation funds up to 55 million dollars during the next year. The vote also refused a Senate bid to buy 1.5 million dollars of laminates for the Government Printing Office addition. The measure preserves the House line limiting salaries higher than 11 000 for board officers with broader funding for veterans and vocational programs. Representative Mann urged sticking to the original cap, saying 25 000 dollars is too high for government pay outside the presidency.
