Senate in session over 20 amendments to McCarran bill
The senate labored past midnight to finish debate on the McCarran bill and its 20 amendments including a Kilgore substitute that would allow the Attorney General to place communists in concentration camps in war or national emergency. Predictions favored fewer than 10 votes against passage. President Truman warned he would veto or not sign the measure in its present form. The House has already passed a similar communist registration bill and is expected to align with most provisions. Congress may stay in session past a planned vacation to act on a veto, while a separate appropriations panel was set to approve 4 billion dollars to arm allies Spain and Turkey.
