Congress Tackles Reconversion and Surplus Bills

The House moved to recess by Friday night and tackled postwar reconversion and surplus property bills tied up by Senate-House differences. Leaders expect objections to end-of-term measures on unemployment relief for federal workers and travel costs for returning Federal employees. Senate actions included calls to study world freedom resolutions and debate on continuing postwar taxes, with other proposals on food stamp distribution and reclamation material releases. A separate measure to dispose of surplus war property and a plan to repurpose surplus food for low income families were discussed, with potential votes after committee revisions.
