House Wrecks Economy Bill in Capitol Clash
Washington April 28 A rebellious House wrecked the Democrat Economy Bill and refused to cut salaries of hundreds of thousands of government workers earning less than 2500 a year. By 173 to 148 the House raised the exemption to 2500 from 1000 and by 185 to 97 approved the salary reduction section. Ohio backed the 2500 exemption. Supporters and opponents are named. The 12 percent cut with 1000 exempt was the bill’s core and would save about 67.3 million of 200 million total. An added vote on Saturday half holidays looms amid strong opposition. Consolidation of War and Navy Departments faces slim chance. Sharp dispute also surrounds a proposed 48 million cut in veterans benefits.
