Democrats Agree To Big Reductions In Budget Plan
Washington January 27 AP Senate Democrats decided to sidetrack Senator Tydings plan to balance the budget entirely by appropriation cuts but they agreed to work for large reductions leaving final balancing to a special session of the next Congress. Republicans blocked the withdrawal of Tydings resolution to start the process by sending the biggest appropriation measure back to committee. The House leaders planned to push LaGuardia McKeown bankruptcy reform and speed one year extension of Glass Steagall collateral. A renewed push for tariff protection against depreciated foreign currencies and a new wet bloc attempt to block any appropriation for prohibition were noted along with the first deficiency bill vetoed by Hoover and farm relief debates.
