Bill to Pay Congress Members

Acting on the suggestion of
President Truman, two Senators
today joined in drafting a bill

of Congress from $4,000 to $20,-

The measure also would increase
the pay of the Speaker and Vice
President from $4,000 to s25.00C
each, and members of the cabinet
from 5000 to $4,000.
The bill is sequel to the recent

Senators Overton, Democrat, of

of New Hampshire who led the
fight for the expense item in the
Senate last week, lost no time in
acting on the Presidents sugges-
ton. They said their bill makes no
attempt to repeal the House ex-

with the operating expenses of the
other. Presumably, the House
would repeal the expense allowance

the grand total to more than
s65, 600 900.
All requests made by the Com

man.
The bill also was hberalized in
other respects, including adoption
of a new departure" under which
SIS, 900 is made available to the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra Asso-
citation to make possible resumption
of the full series of symphonies for
school children.
Special Meeting Scheduled.
A special meeting of the subcom-
mittee was scheduled by Chairman
O'Mahoney for next Wednesday for
a thorough consideration of the
report by committee Investigators
which recommended adoption of a
fixed formula for measuring the
size of the annual Federal payment
toward National Capital expenses.
| Meanwhile, the subcommittee left
in the bill unchanged the lump sum
$6.000,000 Federal payment which
has prevailed in the past five years
The Investigators recommended a
formula by which the Federal pay
ment would be adjusted automati-
cally each year so that the Federal
payment would be in the same ratio
as tax-exempt Federal land holdings
in the District to the Districts total
land area.
It was estimated adoption of this
formula would increase the Federal
payment next year from $4,000, 900
to $12, 2,00o, 900.
Chairman O'Mahoney indicated
the fiscal survey report may be re-
ferred to the legislative committees
of Congress dealing with the Dis
trict, in the thought that enabling
legislation would be desirable If not
necessary.
The Senate subcommittee re-
tanned in the supply bill the item of
$685., 900 written into the measure
by the House for construction of
new Receiving Home for Children,
on site near Gallaudet College.

Senators Rebuff
Administration
In Tariff Vote
Finance Committee
Rejects Cutting Power
Approved by House
By J, A. O'LEARY.

The administration suffered
it's first setback on postwar in
ternational policy today when
the Senate Finance Committee
reported out a revised reciprocal
trade bill, eliminating THE new
tariff-cutting power approved by
the House.
The opposition made the change
by the slender margin of 1919, how
ever, and Chairman George an
nounced he would carry the fight to
the Senate floor next week.
Three Democrats joined with the
solid Republican group in striking
from the bill its basic feature,
which would have allowed the
President to apply the so per cent
cut to the 1945 instead of the 1890
rates. This, in effect, limited the bill
to a straight three-year extension
of the present trade agreement law.
which expires next Tuesday.
How Committee Voted.
Voting for the change we're:
Senators Walsh of Massa chu-
setts; Gerry, Rhode Island, and
Johnson, Colorado, Democrats; and
Taft of Ohio, Thomas, Idaho; But
ler, Nebraska; Millikin, Colorado;
Brewster, Maine; Bushfield, South
Dakota. and Hawkes., New Jersey,
all Republicans
Against the change.
Senators Barkley of Kentucky,
Bailey, North Carolina; Byrd, Vir-
ginia; Guffey, Pennsylvania: Rad
cliffe, Maryland; Lucas, Illinois; Nc
Mahon, Connecticut, and George,
Georgia, Democrats, and LaFollette,
Progressive, of Wisconsin.
Chairman George explained that
if Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
Of Michigan had been present, he
would have voted for the change,
while Senator Connally. Democrat,
of Texas would have voted against
it. Both are at the San Francisco
Security Conference.
Amendments Rejected.
All other attempts to amend the
bill failed, including:
A proposal of Senator OMahoney,
Democrat. of Wyoming, to require
congressional approval of each trade
agreement before it could take ef-
feet, defeated 10 to 8.
A motion by Senator Taft to limit
the extension to two years, also re-
jected 10 to 9.
An effort by Senators Bailey and
johnson to prevent any trade agree
ment from affecting strategic mill
tary items.
To freeze import duties on wooden
goods and on cordage.
AS the trade agreement fight
moved to the Senate floor, the
Banking Committee made plans to
start hearings next week on the
Breton Woods bill for international
monetary cooperation, which passed
the House yesterday by an over
whelming majority.
