Barkley Defies Delays in Pushing Loan Bill Showdown
Democratic Leader Barkley placed atomic control legislation on a must pass list and rejected delaying tactics on the 3.75 billion British loan. Senator McMahon said Barkley refused to delay the loan bill but pledged Senate action on the domestic control measure before Congress adjourns likely in early July. Republican Wherry asked about strike control and Barkley expressed hope for Senate consideration. Progress hinges on coal strike duration and potential walkouts, as lawmakers note remote prospects for passage without a longer dispute. Proponents pressed for an army navy merger measure but administration aides showed no rush to act.
