Kerr Kerr Kerr Natural Gas Bill Creates Political Stir
Washington April 2 President Truman faced a sharp partisan clash over the Kerr natural gas bill as House and Senate action moved it toward possible veto. Supporters insist it shields independent producers from huge rate hikes while opponents say it shifts power to gas interests and raises consumer costs. The measure, backed by Speaker Rayburn after a tense debate, would allow gas producers to raise rates by more than 100 million dollars though leaders acknowledge a presidential veto is likely.
