The Senate backed a wide expansion of Social Security by voice vote and sent it to President Truman after a House vote of 374 to 1.

Domestic workers may face new tax reporting requirements as coverage widens.
President George D. Stoddard of the University of Illinois and Rep. Ora Dillavou have ended a public exchange over remarks linking the university to radical ideas. Dillavou’s accusation of Reds drew criticism as partisan and dangerous to the budget, but both men stop short of recanting. The incident could press lawmakers to economize in the 1951 53 U. S. budget while leaving the university with 18 000 students facing scrutiny.
