Final Agreement Near on Deficiency Bill on Capitol Hill
Congressional conferees nearly reached final accord on the 2 470 000 dollar deficiency bill funding next year’s vital programs, with two items Florida canal project and 34 000 000 public works fund still to be voted on by the House. Officials said final agreement should be reached Wednesday, barring those items. The administration canceled a 340 860 000 contract with Jones & Laughlin Steel after labor board findings of unfair practices. The Senate tax plan faced House resistance as conferees pressed to reconcile corporation taxes amid a pending cover proposal. Morgenthau reported income tax receipts for the first 13 days of June rose about 18 percent from a year ago. The House approved the anti price discrimination bill and sent 14 new items to the Senate for final action.
