Senate approves Truman salary boost and expenses
The Senate voted 68 to 9 to raise President Truman's pay to 100000 dollars and grant a 90000 dollar tax free expense account, with a 30000 dollar salary for Rayburn and 10000 tax free expenses for Barkley and the vice president. Critics cited high taxes and living costs for government officials. The bill then heads to the House for action before Truman's term begins January 20.
