Congress Roundup Greek Aid Under Fire
The administration’s 400 million dollar Greek Turkey aid program faced sharp House opposition as a move to send the issue to the United Nations gained momentum. Supporters led by Eaton of the Foreign Affairs Committee defended the plan while Republicans split on substituting UN action. If defeated, a final House vote was anticipated tomorrow. In the Senate Taft pushed for final passage of an omnibus labor bill with a ban on closed shops and restraints on national unions. A Taft sponsored amendment sought industry wide bargaining limits and the outcome of votes could affect Republican strategy.
