House Split On Full Employment Legislation Grows Deep
Washington faces a three-way split as the House opens on Truman’s full employment proposal. A rerun substitute from the House executive expenditures committee favors a high level of employment with an economic council to study unemployment. A group of 114 sponsors of the White House bill argues for federal responsibility to assure jobs for all willing and able to work. A minority opposes both, while sponsors aim to push the Senate jobs-for-all bill, critiquing the committee version for omitting a machinery to reach the goal. The Senate version would back private industry and public works to ensure employment, within debt and obligation limits. The committee plan would require a presidential economic report to Congress with guidance to stimulate employment and a joint study by a Senate House committee.
