Russia May Stage Another U N Walkout If China Issue Loses
Lake Success Aug 3 Russia facing another diplomatic setback over seating red China in the United Nations sparked talk of a new walkout after Malik’s defeat on a motion about nationalist China’s council seat. Britain France Ecuador Cuba Norway and nationalist China backed delaying Korea ahead of China. The U S urged separate handling of Korea and China issues as the council debated agenda order amid threats of a broader walkout. In Washington Congress tentatively voted to auto apply wage and price controls if the cost of living index rises five per cent from June 15, with further roll call votes pending. The measure mirrors a Fulbright style proposal to mandate controls upon a rising BLS index and to strip standby presidential authority. The BLS said July prices likely rise two to three percent, driven by higher meat costs, with mid-July checks showing a broad price uptick.

Washington Senate Approves Large Fiscal Bill Modest Additions
Washington August 3 42 The senate pushed toward final passage on a 34 755 000 000 bill funding most government agencies for the year ending June 30 Next the body set three hours of debate aside for two amendments proposing an additional 8 000 000 for health and shipping. Leading to a five minute speaking limit on amendments the move followed a wave of speeches that halted a proposed across the board non defense cut and trimmed a 10 000 000 senate office building item while adding 10 400 000 for the Marshall plan and boosting the point four program to 26 000 000 as President Truman asked. The measure carried roughly 67 000 000 more in cash and contract authority than the 84 6869 000 000 recommended by Senate appropriations committees not including the 100 000 000 Spanish loan voted earlier. The across the board cut backed by Bridges and Byrd drew broad GOP and Democratic support and targeted an estimated 56 000 000 on the measure.
