Hoover Victory as House Passes Tariff Bill Provisions
The House approved controversial administrative provisions in the tariff bill by 161 to 231, defeating a Senate expert debenture amendment that would have broadened Hoover’s powers. A 154 to 232 vote rejected the motion to accept Senate amendments repealing flexible present-law provisions. The President backs Executive power to adjust duties on tariff commission advice, and both chambers sent the measure to conference awaiting Senate compromise.
