House Democrats Attack Fake GOP Economy in Budget
House Democrats accuse the Republican budget plan of a fake economy while criticizing an $882,716,730 cut in the treasury budget. Rep Albert Gore says cuts target anticipated tax refunds and could delay or reduce refunds until authorities adjust the treasury budget.

LaGuardia Pushes Labor Union Merger Plan in Congress
LaGuardia urged Congress to form a joint labor industry committee to study labor relations and unify unions into a single body under a revised Wagner Act. He warned against haste and set Oct 1947 as a reporting deadline, while also backing broader merger discussions. The House labor panel opened a probe into Communist and racketeering influence in Hollywood. Budget talks between parties aim to resolve a wide gap before formal conference. Sally Rand denies being broke and says she has $60,000 in cash available despite fan-dancer reports.

Senate panel approves sugar controls extension to 1948
The Senate Banking Committee voted 10 to 3 to extend sugar controls to March 31, 1948 and shift administration from the OPA to the Agriculture Department. It rejected Sen. McCarthy’s plan to end rationing next March while keeping price ceilings only if needed. The secretary would remove controls when sugar supplies justify action. A conference approved a deficiency bill ordering OPA shutdown by July 1, with reduced OPA funds risking an April 30 close.
