Efforts to block bill on reciprocal trade program fail
Washington April 4 New efforts to curb restrictions on the administration reciprocal trade program failed today. Leaders predicted a final vote tomorrow on legislation to extend the program for three years. An amendment requiring majority approval by both houses for all trade pacts was rejected 44 to 34 and another proposal to require senate approval by majority was defeated 46 to 34. Senator McCarran then led an unsuccessful bid to write a prohibition on tariff reductions for any commodity that would allow shipments below the American cost of production, with votes 2 to 36. The program’s fate was clarified but the page note indicates continuation.
