Senate consideration is planned for early next week, with no session held today. The bill omits Roosevelt commission proposals for trade bargaining in return for market entry. A bid to raise the tax on distilled spirits to four dollars a gallon failed, while a lower tax of 1.50 dollars was defeated.
