Attack on Fiogal Policies Debated in Senate
In Washington on June 12, a two-pronged attack on administration fiscal policy formed in the Senate. Republicans plan to broaden presidential power to reduce dollar content while extending stabilization funds as Western senators oppose the silver program. Democrats Glass and Adams urged Morgenthau to reveal administration aims on a silver price change when the domestic purchase proclamation ends June 20. Congress pushes revision and relief measures for June 30 deadlines, including a bill to extend over $500 million in excise taxes and revise levies, while the Senate Finance Committee holds hearings on broadening the social security law and expanding wartime controls. Southern members prepare similar plans after testimony from Arthur Altmeyer.
