Veterans Hospital Funds Restored Against Truman Veto
A house appropriations subcommittee voted to restore 237 million dollars in contract authority for the veterans hospital construction program despite President Truman’s objections. The move would not guarantee immediate spending but signals congressional readiness to fund the program, even as the president’s budget would have cut 24 new hospitals and 14 additions totaling about 16 thousand beds. The same session reported a March unemployment rise of 479 thousand from February, with total employment at 57.647 million and 3.167 million unemployed, while farm employment reached 7.393 million and nonfarm jobs rose slightly. Oleo margarine tax repeal debate was set to clash Rep. Poage’s plan versus current pending legislation.
