Democrats Snipe At GOP Over Trade Pact Vote
Democratic senators Kefauver and Humphrey criticized Republicans for stalling on the Presidents trade plan after the Senate approved a one year extension of the Reciprocal Trade Act by 71 to 3. The House will consider two minor amendments before final action. The extension renews the act begun in 1935 and allows tariff cuts in exchange for concessions from other nations. President Eisenhower had pushed for a three year extension with broader tariff trimming authority, but Republican opposition led to the stopgap measure. Senate Finance Chair Millikin said more study time was needed to decide a long range program.
