House Narrowly Approves Social Security Fixes and Postmaster Savings
In a tight vote, the House adopted a conference report on expanded social security and kept the Knowland amendment to preserve state control over unemployment insurance. A separate roll call ordered the Postmaster General to restore cuts including double daily mail delivery, saving about 70 million annually, a move opposed in the Senate and likely vetoed by the President. The CIO AFL rift surfaced with a preelection blacklist, while a cotton acreage bill advances in the Senate to credit Texas farmers for war crops and prevent losses tied to the California gadget. Local notes include visits and travel by W. W. House, Robby Ferguson, and the Kiser and Povnor reunion in Mason.
