Senate Rejects U S Canada Seaway Bill Amid Truman Plea
The Senate voted 43 to 40 to send the St. Lawrence seaway and power project bill back to the foreign relations committee, killing chances for passage this session. President Truman had warned the move would be a major economic mistake. Canada had threatened to proceed on its side if the U S did not participate, with construction expected to begin next spring. The plan would link the Great Lakes to the Atlantic and include a 2 200 000 horsepower hydroelectric plant.

County Rent Hearing Set in Pima County
A public hearing to decontrol rents in Pima County will be held at 8 p.m. July 21 in the American Legion auditorium by the board of supervisors. Frank Stockton of the Protective Association protested the timing, but the full board says the date ensures all members are present. The city council had already ordered decontrol inside city limits after a prior hearing. The supervisors oversee two thirds of metropolitan Tucson outside the city. The session also covered Amphitheater annexation of Laguna school district land to address river crossing for students, with protests over tax differences. Annexed area includes portions of townships 13, range 13, north of the Rillito river. Tidmarsh Engineering Co. won a $2,682 bid to update jail plumbing.
