President Veto Hinted On Anti Communist Bill Move
Washington Sept 13. A bill to curb Communist activity heads to a senate house conference as President Truman likely vetoes it. The measure passed 70 to 7 in the senate after combining two opposing bills. It calls for internment of dangerous Reds, registration of Communist groups, barring Reds from government jobs and passports, tougher sabotage and espionage laws, new powers to deport suspected subversives, and outlawing conspiracies toward a totalitarian dictatorship. Senator Kilgore proposed internment as a substitute for McCarran's broader bill. that substitute was defeated 50 to 23. Senate Democratic Leader Lucas then secured a modified version of Kilgore's plan onto the McCarran bill. The move was completed by voice vote after rejecting a pair of procedural steps.
