Connally denounces Point Four delay in Senate fight
Sen. Tom Connally of Texas denounces a Republican bid to delay Truman's Point Four program for a year as a method of killing it. He says the senate will likely reject delaying tactics though they may prove troublesome as debate on the omnibus 3.366 billion dollar bill proceeds. The bill includes about 45 million to start the Point Four program. Senators Millikin and Saltonstall proposed delaying the program until a bipartisan commission reports next year.
