Other oongressional developments:
Appropriations A house appropriations subcommittee was reported to have approved tentatively a 10 per cent cut in funds for operation of the navy in‘the next fiscal year. The navy’s request for $3,504,000,000 has been slashed by $350. million, a subecommittee member said. Another house appropriations subcommittee has voted a tentative 55 per cent cut in army funds, Neither is as sharp as earlier predicted.
The senate scheduled a vote to-

outlaw jurisdictional strikes, secondary boycotts and some organisational strikes. Final vote on the senate strikecontrol bill appeared likely next Tuesday or Wednesday. “An amendment adopted by the senate yesterday set up federal standards for union welfare’ funds, It limited use of such funds to act ual welfare purposes. This was intended to prevent labor leaders from using them as “war chests.” The same amendment would for- | bid checkoff of union dues by em-
