Trouble Ahead For "Fair Deal"

WASHINGTON. May 5.--(UP) Tho administration's dofoat on tho latior bill nppoarrd today to signal trouble ahead for other features of President Truman's “fair deal” program. House Republicans and Southern Democrats pointed to the Taft-Hartley repeal debacle as evidence that when they gang up oni Mr. Truman and his legislature lieutenants they stand a gfibj chance of carrying the day. ^^pj^iortunities for them to test their strength again will come in the House soon. Tin- next real sqttabblo may he on another labor bill a measure to increase thy present ‘tO-cent minimum wage. A bill to boost the minimum to 75' cents has been approved by the House I^abor Committee and is awaiting floor action. It was tentatively scheduled to come up in |the next week or two, but action may be postponed now while administration leaders try to reorganize their ranks. The committee-approved bill also would broaden coverage of thp present wage-l.our law. Many Republicans and Southern Democrats don't like that. They would prefer instead to write come new restrictions into the present law. They likewise consider a jump to’75 cents too precipitious. They have indicated they will try to cut that to 60 or 65 cents. On the other major issues, the story is pretty much the same. .Mr. Truman's call for a $4,000,000,000 Increase in. taxes is generally conceded to have little, if; any, chance of enactment. Most Republicans and many Southern Democrats stand togethed on that issue. They don't want an increase. The President’s call for a bijoad revamping of the social security act, with greater benefits arid wider coverage, has been given an exhaustive hearing. But the concensus is that the House is unlikely to go nearly as far as Mr. Truman proposed. ;Compulsory health insurance is out the window, for this session nt least. House hearings or. health insurance will get under way shortly, but Democrats who will conduct them said there is

FLAKO PIE CRUST MIX JUST ADO WATER-ROLL and BAKE So easy to use—just add water, roll and bake. So sure in results —because the ingredients are precision-mixed. So delicious— because it contains only finest quality flour, baking powder, shortening and salt.

no likelihood of any kind of a big health insurance measure this year. The administration may be able to push through the House two major bills- the OOP-sup-ported anti-poll tax legislation and the Southern-supported long-range housing measure. There appears almost no chance that the administration's new farm program will be approved before the House quits for the summer. TRICE OFFICIAL Accompanying the communique was a letter signed by the three permanent western representative on the UN Security Council which requested Die to inform that agency that an agreement had been reached with Russia on lifting the block-

ade.

The three western powers submitted the Berlin dispatch to th-’ Security Council on Sept. 26 1948. feud develops

Over the years the dispute has rti v.uined unsettled, as mayors and water board membership changed. Last month when the city asked that water service be resumed to the park, the water board presented the $.14,000 bill. The city made a futile effort to collect the back rent But mayor Hileman decided it was time to end the dispute. He handed pink slips to the three Democrats and two Republicans on the board. Board members hinted thej would take the matter into the courts to attempt to hold their jobs. FOR SALE: Terms.

Legion Board Files Objection INDIANAPOLIS, May 5 — UP)—The American Legion National Executive Board unanImously objected to federal emiloyment methods proposed by the Hoover Commission today. The board adopted a resolution charging that World War II veterans could lose federal jobs if the commissions reports on ‘‘personnel management” end “the task force on federal personnel” were turned into law. The -Hoover proposals invited “the return of the spoils system and all its evils to federal positions,’ the resolution said. The reports would repeal the portions of the veterans prefer'•nce act of 1944 which gave veterans and their widows “definite fixed preference in serving their government,” the resolution said.
