Congress Cleans Up Odds And Ends For Brief Holiday
Congress wrapped up minor items during a short Labor Day break after clearing summer session work. The House quickly passed the War Demobilization and Reconversion Bill and named conferees to negotiate with the Senate, while the related surplus property disposal bill also moved to joint committee. The measure would unwind the war effort and exclude federal retraining, migrant worker subsidies, and broad unemployment protection. A minority sought to restore these protections along with a weekly $25 unemployment supplement for a year but the plan was defeated 188 to 60. Senate support kept unemployment matters for war workers under state control, per Senator George.
