Senate Defeats Bid to Force Truman Savings in Huge Bill
In Washington on August 29 the Senate rejected a rider to force President Truman to save 2 to 4 billion dollars from military appropriations. The tally showed 48 to 29 to suspend rules, short of the two thirds required. Vice President Barkley upheld the two thirds rule in a 41 to 36 vote. The bill moves to the House after the chamber trimmed the air forces funding by about 1.118 billion in the 15.9 billion package.
