Tass Illness Object Os Senate Concern Still Putting In Normal Wojk Day WASHINGTON UP — Senate Republican leader Robert A. Taft has been slowed down by a painful hip gilment but he still puts in what most lawmakers would regard as a normal work day. Where be used to dash around the capital with his coattails flying. he now makes his way slowly with the help of crutches to keep his weight off the ailing left hip. i Taft has long been credited by both friend and foe with exceptional industry and far above average ability as a legislative craftsman. Now, at the age of 63, he is forced to cut down the activity he normally assumed until his return from a Cincinnati, hospital three weeks ago. At the urging of his physicians, he named Sen. William F. Knowland R-Calif. as bis deputy to handle the party floor leadership, which requires, almost constant attendance when the senate is in, session. The Ohio senator's health has been the subject of much senate speculation and discussion in recent weeks. He appears somewhat wan and has lost weight. But ip conversation, he’talks as energetically as he always did and displays his same avid interest in the whole broad field of congressional activity. His schedule Is shortened two or three times a week when he goes to Walter Reed army hospital here for the X-ray and cortisone treatments which have been prescribed for his still unnamed hip ailment. Although obviously pained by the hip, he sometimes neglects or forgets to use his crutches when moving around the senate. Freed of the hour to hour chores of the floor leadership, Taft still receives a full schedule of callers and attends committee sessions and leadership meetings about as he did before his illness. He is/ playing an active role in current moves to bring GOP congressional. leaders and administration spokesmen into agreement on legislation to amend the Taft-Hart-ley Act. Taft has spent much less time on the senate floor, however, and has taken no part in debate.

Senate Votes Down Extension Measure Shows Precorious Republican Hold ‘ WASHINGTON, UP —Chairman Jesse P. Wolcott, R-Mich., of the house banking committee indicated a willingness today to compromise on the defense production act extension bill which the senate has rejected. 1 “We are not going to let it expire,” he told a reporter after Monday’s senate Rejection of the bill by a vote of 47 to 42 was a victory for senate Democrats who gave their first big demonstration of how precarious is the control held by the Republicans in the narrowly 1 - divided senate. The surviving provisions of the defense production act, carrying power for the administration tb allocate scarce materials, now are due to expire June 30. Both house and senate agreed to a one-year extension of these provisions with little controversy. But the house voted to replace the small defense plants administration, created in another section of the law, with a new, permanent agency to make loans to small business. •_ A joint conference committee was appointed to iron out house arid senate differences. Senate Democrats objected that the new agency should be created by separate legislation which would be subject to committee consideration and debate and amendment on the senate floor.
