Truman veto blocks Kerr gas bill in sharp national clash
President Truman vetoed the Kerr natural gas bill aimed at exempting most gas producers from federal regulation. The measure, supported by some Republicans and opposed by others, would have shifted regulatory power to the Federal Power Commission. Opponents called it a grab that would cost up to 500 million dollars annually. backers argued regulation would protect consumers. The bill faced slim chances of passage over the veto, with observers noting insufficient support in both houses.
