Report Two More i Tank Men FreedCctlilo Signs 30 Pet.Cpl. Stewart and Pvt Richter Released; 26 of Unit Now SaleSenate Passes Toned Down Measure* 71*10; Vague* Is ChargeWashington ~~ UF — Broadly re* vised to the pleasure of its original critics, the so-called full employment bill traveled today from the senate to a yes-and-no reception in ihe house.There 114 members stood organized as co - indorsers , to shove through the measure which tlje senate approved in its new form on a 71 to 10 vote last night.But, after already holding hearings a week, Chairman Manasco (D-Ala) of the house committee on executive expenditures said this is a vague bill.*' Furthermore, questioning by committee members of witnesses who liked the idea has been largely hostile.Manasco said he expects to continue hearings for several more weeks.The heart of the bill:(1) Declares (hat all Americans able to work and seeking to work are entitled to an opportunity for useful, remunerative, regular and full-time employment, including agriculture* industry, self-employment and the professions,”(2) Directs an annual survey of job prospects. When this shows that private enterprise would not supply enough jobs, the government would move-rin wsy* to be approved by congress — to supply jobs.Administration leaders in the senate showed no great happiness at the final shape of Ihe measure.However, they took the view that, while President Truman asked enactment of a full employment” measure, he had not detailed what he wanted. Thus they reasoned the president had suffered no such “let down” as he said ihe^senate glrve him on unemployment compensation.But Majority Lender Itorktcy lt;Ky) did call the bill watered down” and another supporter, Senator Downey lt;D-Calif),called it a weakened measure,” A foe. Senator McClellan lt;D-Ark «aid changes the senate effected made it better than it was when originally introduced.” *The administration had defeated two major amendments in the banking committee, which won out in the rough and tumble of yesterday's senate debate.Offered by Senators Taft (R-Otaio) and Radciiffe (D-Md), theyprovide:(1) Federal spending under the employment program shall be consistent with the government’s needs, obligations and other essential considerations of national policy.(2) Plans for federal spending to create jobs must be accompanied by a plan for taxes to raise the money.Taft triumphantly hailed the first as a victory over “the Henry Wallace school of thought.*' which he described as one of unlimited federal spending to make up employment shortages.He and others of like mind also said the new lan'guagf made clear that Ihe government wasn't pulling jobs ahead of every othergovernment responsibility.On the second point., Senalor George (D-Ga) shouted to the senate:“1 don’t see how anyone can oppose this amendment unless he embraces the theory of deficit spending. If that is the program, it does not matter what law you pass. You are not going to have full employment. You are going to have national bankruptcyForty-three Democrats, 27 Republicans and one progressive voted for the hill on final passage. Against it were Democrats Byrd (Va), Gerry (Rl).
