Congress at mid point of first session in 81st era
The 81st Congress reached mid point of its first session with the House ready for a 10 day vacation while the Senate lags behind. House leadership under Rayburn and McCormack has pushed major measures and expects to pass the final regular appropriation. Senate leadership under Barkley and Lucas trails by about two months and faces an Easter recess. President Truman’s key programs are bogged down and debate over health insurance, farm price supports, and NATO aid looms as Congress schedules further actions on the Columbia River basin project and Marshall Plan extension. The log jam remains, with a likely resumption after the recess and possible long adjournment for both chambers.

Panama vaccination drive cited by PASB report
PASB reported no jungle yellow fever cases in the Republic of Panama since December 30, 1948. About one third of Panama’s population, including nearly all Canal Zone residents, has been vaccinated. A PASB house-to-house survey of over 10,000 homes in the Canal Zone and the islands of Panama and Colon found only four with the yellow fever mosquito, an index of 0.00 percent, while half of Panama's homes outside Colon and Panama City were vaccinated.
