Veto Believed
Almost Certain
WASHINGTON, June 14 (U, P), —President Truman, back at his desk after a three-day visit to Canada, today took up the knotty problem of what to do with the Re-
When he got off the train last night upon his return from Canada, Mr, Truman laughed off a reporter who asked him: “When is the veto message going
Monday Is Deadline
The deadline on the tax bill is|
Monday midnight. . The President will have more time: to think about the Taft-Hartley union-control bill since the deadline on that measure is not: until Friday midnight. Opinion among both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill was that President Truman would veto the tax bill and that the veto would be sustained—possibly in the house and certainly in the senate, Predictions as to what Mr. Truman would do about the labor bill were less positive. Some Democratic sources close to the White House sald they thought a veto was the more probable. But they conceded congress was virtually certain to override it, thus making the bill a law.
Foreign Information Funds Promised
Rep. Karl E. Mundt (R. 8. D) said he was confident the senate would act to provide funds for the state department’s foreign information program as soon as the house approves his bill to authorize the program. Mr. Mundt hoped for the final house okay on Monday. A series of house attempts to kill or cripple the bill were defeated yesterday.

Carroll told the committee that “pressure” by the American Federation of Musicians (A. F. of L) was too great for him to continue business. Hartley wanted to know if it. involved union reprisals for Carroll's support of strong legislative curbs on labor.

Interior Supply Bill Increase Predicted
Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D. Wyo.), predicted the senate would back up its appropriations committée and Pr interior department supply carrying about $54,000000 more than voted by the houses. The house action had brought loud protests from western states whose reclamation projects suffered deep cuts. O'Mahoney said the senate “won't dare object” to the proposed increase. Even with the boost, the senate bill is about $80,000,000 Jess than requested by the administration.

proposed to convert the giant plant into a food processing and distribution center. As an afternative proposal, the company offered $15 million for the plant on a term basis. WAA officials rate the Consolidated offer as the best of the halfdozen they received—except for that of Tucker Corp. They offer several reasons for rejecting it in favor of Tucker's. These are: ONE: The grocery offer was regarded as “ridiculously low” for a plant which cost $70 million, exclusive of equipment. One official said a sale for $12 million would have been “just a steal.” He noted that the Tucker lease—if it runs to maturity—would yield $20 million in 10 years. TWO: Sale of the bare building and land would force WAA to “cannibalize” the plant—that is, remove equipment which cost $100 million and find buyers for it. WAA says this would have involved “tremen-
Corp. proposes to buy or rent about half of the plant equipment. THREE: WAA says the Tucker offer conformed more closely to pro~ visions of the disposal law which gives preference to new industries promising mass employment. Officials say Oonsolidated’'s estimates of employment ranged all the way from 1000 to “possibly” 20,000. FOUR: The armed services wanted the plant and at least part of its equipment maintained in standby status.
