House backs surplus war property plan amid reconversion disputes
The House approved a compromise to manage about 100 billion dollars of government owned surplus war property, voting 174 to 91 for a three member board as administrator. It rejected a Senate pay provision for unemployed federal workers and a travel allowance up to 200 dollars for relocating discharged war workers. The move delays full agreement as Congress eyes a recess for elections.
