GOP Economy Drive Faces Tough Test in House Today
The Republican effort to trim federal spending faces a critical vote in the House as the body weighs a roughly $7 million cut from an overall appropriation of about $29.5 billion. President Truman had asked for $30.8 billion, and opposition party leaders warn that the House’s voting pattern over the past month will likely doom the reduction. The appropriations committee bill, first reported in March at $29.045 billion, rose by about $451 million after tentative approval, with $335 million of the increase earmarked for national defense.
