Alabama Senate sidesteps tractor gas rebate bill
The Alabama Senate adjourned before voting on the tractor gas rebate proposal while approving a measure to limit state owned passenger cars. The bill would cap state cars at 3007, then 250 after six months, and create a 300 vehicle pool with a six month transfer limit for agency use. A state transportation officer would implement the act. The session also saw the introduction of a plan for an Alabama world trade authority with a $350,000 appropriation, plus $500,000 for foreign advertising.

Senate Likely to Defeat Measure After House Override Vote
Washington AP reports the House voted 299 to 108 to override President Truman's veto of a $4.0 billion tax cut, but Senate indications suggest the veto may be sustained. The roll call showed strong Democratic backing for override, while the Senate committee plans a later vote on the veto. If defeated in the Senate, the tax reduction would not take effect and relief for income taxpayers would be delayed.
