Senate Rejects NLRB Reorganization Amid Fair Deal Clash
In Washington on May 12 the Senate voted 53 to 30 alongside 18 Democrats to defeat Truman's NLRB reorganization plan, signaling Congress's resistance to the Fair Deal. A later 65 to 13 vote opposed another Truman proposal on the Comptroller of the Currency. Senator Wherry warned that labor policy crises trigger coalitions against the president. Taft hailed the NLRB vote as indicating congressional opposition to most Fair Deal measures. Denham and board members clashed over control and policy, with union calls for Denham’s firing.
