Congress trims military spending and delays civil rights hearing
Congress approved a military purchases bill totaling 15.3 billion dollars, cutting 44.4 million from the administration request and denying 408 million in proposed procurements. Atty Gen Kennedy postponed testimony on civil rights. The House declined an overseas trip for four Education and Labor Committee members, leaving two delegates and two alternates to Geneva with expenses paid by the State Department. The Senate also approved a payroll tax rate cut from .4 to .25 percent for 1963 extended unemployment benefits, returning the measure to the House.
