Will Defeat Tax Bureau Reorganization
Washington March 3 Sen Mundt predicted Senate opponents would muster 49 votes to kill Truman’s plan to reorganize the Internal Revenue Bureau. He called the President’s letter a brazen effort to divert attention from graft in the Administration. Some senators believed 51 votes could be mustered against the plan if all 31 members are present, though absences reduce this. The law requires a majority of full membership to reject the proposal. The President’s second letter drew milder reaction. he said the Justice Department lacks data to satisfy a House subcommittee and ordered agencies to deny such requests.
