Reorganization Plan Faces Tight Senate Vote Over Housing Plan
Washington July 13 Administration supporters faced a nip and tuck battle to uphold Truman plans for reorganizing agencies. Senators Taft and Wiley sought Republican opposition at a noon meeting as focus centered on consolidating housing programs under a single national agency. Under the 1949 Reorganization Act, a presidential plan becomes law unless both chambers disapprove within 60 days. The House already opposed all three plans, with Senate action pending before midnight Monday. Wiley claimed OPA revival delays stalled the reorganization, a charge denied by Majority Leader Barkley.
