Truman vetoes wool price support bill amid world affairs concerns
President Truman vetoed the wool price support bill, saying tariff provisions would harm leadership in world affairs. He warned enacting the measure over his veto would be a tragic mistake. Congress appeared likely to sustain the veto as Senate 48 38 and House 191 166 votes showed. The president objected to barriers to wool imports while supporting domestic price support through next year and CCC wool sales at market prices.

Polls Favor New 4 Billion Tax Cut Bill On Capitol Hill
Reports circulate that informal polls show a two thirds majority in both House and Senate for enacting the rejuvenated 4 billion tax slash bill. Speculation centers on a Senate filibuster to block the measure and move tax cuts to January 1. House Speaker Martin says he lacks clear evidence that enough Democrats will join Republicans to override a presidential veto. Senator Taft maintains the tax measure is dead for this session.
