Senate battles over reconversion bill end in sharp defeat
In Washington Aug 12 the Murray Kilgore reconversion plan failed to pass the Senate as Democrats wrangled over alternatives. The measure would have created a federal layer for demobilization planning and extended unemployment benefits, while a rival States Rights bill pushed by Republicans and southern Democrats sought state control. The Senate approved the States Rights approach 53 to 19, though Majority Leader Barkley indicated the fight over federally financed unemployment and veteran benefits would continue. In Harrisburg, a heat record of 99 degrees was set, marking the hottest August 12 in bureau history.
