Bill 10 Shift Control
OF uses 10 States
Is Sent 10 Senate
House Rejects Trumon's
Proposal, 263 to l13;
June 30 Is DeudIine
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSoclatesi Press.
A decisive defeat in the House
jolted President Truman's hopes
today for continued Federal con-
troll of the United States EN-
ployment Service-a top item or
his program.
The House rejected the Presi.
dents proposal by a vote of 263 tC
113 late yesterday and directed that
the USES be returned to the States
not later than June 80.
The legislation went to the Senate
which has gone on record in pre-
vious unsuccessful measures as
favoring restoration of the agency
to the States.
The promising outlook for the re-
turn legislation set Capitol Hill
specializing on the likelihood Of an
other veto when and if the measure
reaches the White House.
Coalition Passes Substitute.
Mr.. Truman refused in December
to sign legislation providing for the
transfer of USES to the States
within 100 days. He asked, instead
that the switch be delayed until
June 30, 1947. He said earlier ac-
tion would damage the reconversion
program, particularly re-employ-
ment of veterans.
The House Labor Committee ap.
proved his proposal, but a coalition
of House Republicans and Southern
Democrats rejected the committee
bill yesterday and instead passed q
substitute by Representative Dirk
sen, Republican, of Illinois setting
the deadline year earlier.
Mr.. Dirksen told newsmen that
even If Mr.. Truman vetoes the new
bill he believes he has enough back
ing to insure passage over a veto
A two-thirds vote is required for
such action.
First Vote on Major Bill.
The USES bill was the first ma jor
item in the Presidents program for
this session of Congress to reach a
vote IN either chamber. A filibusterI
snarled Senate has up for consider
alton the Fair Employment Practice
commission measure, another OF
Mr.. Truman's prime proposals, but
Its prospects of passage are dubious
Those supporting the early end of
Federal control of USES argued that
there would be greater efficiency
and economy under State operation
A series of votes preceded the final
roll call tally. On one of these the
House refused to accept a compro-
mise offered by administration
leaders through Representative
Eberharter, Democrat, of Pennsyl-
vania calling for an end to Federal
authority by next December 81.

Open Hearing Caller
For Tomorrow on

Aliens Appointment
As RFC Director to Be
Considered Tuesday

The Senate Naval Affairs
Committee will meet in open
session at 1920 am. tomorrow
to consider the nomination of
Edwin w. Pauley, California oil
magnet. to be Undersecretary of
the Navy.
At the same time, the Senate
Banking Committee called a meet
ing for next Tuesday to discuss the
nomination of George E. Allen, for
mer District Commissioner, to be a
director of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corp.
Without indicating what questions
they will raise, some Republicans on
the Naval Affairs Committee said
they expected full hearings to be
held on the Pauley nomination.
Senator Tobey of New Hampshire
ranking Republican on the commit
tee. said he expects the hearings will
last several days, but that he per-
sonally had not reached a final
decision" on the appointment. Sen
ator Willis, Republican, of Indiana
said he thought the committee would
consider the nomination thor
oughly."
Mr.. Pauley resigned last year as
treasurer of the Democratic National
Committee when he was made a
member of the Allied Reparations
Commission.
Chairman Walsh of the Naval
Affairs Committee said Mr.. Pauley
would be present tomorrow, but he
does not know of any other wit
nesSes.

week will consider a number OF
other appointments along with the

The Government today await
ed word from the steel industry
which will tell whether the 10
day strike is to be settled this
week or prolonged and possibly
necessitate Federal seizure OF
the mills.
Benjamin F. Fairless, president oi
United States Steel Corp, was back
IN his New York Office after two
days of steel price talks with officials
here. 1t is reported that he will
confer with industry leaders and re-
Iport back as to whether price in
creases promised by the Government
are sufficient to enable settlement
of the CIO United Steel Workers
wage demands, which now call for
an increase of 1914 cents an hour.
Federal officials said Mr.. Fairless
intermediary for the industry, had
been given the Governments "Iast
word" on price relief. Industry re-
lection of the terms would confront
the Government with decision on
