Senators 10 Rush Trust Legislation in Senate This Week
Washington July 12 Trust legislation to complete the administrations program will be taken up in the senate this week. Democrats and Republicans push for swift, thorough consideration of the Sherman act supplements and railroad securities measures. Three trust bills may take five to six weeks, with consolidation into one measure under discussion. The Interstate Trade Commission and railroad securities report are expected soon, with conference action likely after House passage. The Jones Warburg nominations receive heavy Senate attention this week, as the banking committee debates confirmation and public testimony. The House faces stalled appropriation bills and dam construction debates as fiscal year progresses. The judiciary continues hearings on Judge Dayton and Spear cases with possible action at any time.
