Ike Suffers Setback on Tariff Bill
In a surprise vote the House rejected a GOP backed procedure to limit amendments to the Presidents tariff bill, 207-178. The measure would extend tariff cutting authority and allow annual 5 percent rate cuts, with potential larger cuts, while opponents branded the move a gag rule. President Eisenhower reportedly assured that tariff powers would not harm American industries, and the basic program was seen as likely to pass with several amendments still in play.
