While some mild expression OF
White House dissatisfaction with
the measure setting up a three-man
property disposal board may be in
the offing, the Presidents views on
the George Bill were expected to be
definite and blunt.
Provisions for unemployment

the George bill by TIL Senate. The

visions and in the drive to enact
