Brighter prospects for tariff bill as Senate supports measure
Washington May 20 The administration appears to hold enough Senate votes to pass the tariff bill within two weeks and send it to the White House. A Democratic independent Republican coalition failed to force a debenture plan for farm relief and repeal of the flexible clause. Four Democrats who switched sides plus Vice President Curtis aided the administration. Debenture likely to be removed and the flexible clause compromised as most provisions already show compromise. The coalition vows to resist but may struggle to block the bill without a filibuster.
