tracking, or substantial alteration of
many of Mr.. Truman's recommenda-

The lawmakers passed his Full
Employment bill in modified form
but the House sidetracked the emer-
gency increase in unemployment
compensation and the increased
minimum wage bills after the Senate
had passed them.
Both houses put through veteran S
housing legislation, but the House

approved long range housing pro-

remaining.
Quorum Appears Doubtful
In fact, it appeared doubtful last
night the House would be able to
muster quorum this week, in which
case any controversial measure could
be blocked between now and Friday
by any member raising the point of
no quorum.
Other administration measures
which fell by the wayside include
Army Navy merger and a universal
military training program.
Among the measures that won
final approval were a modified ex-
tension of Selective service, with
18-year- -olds exempt; power to re-
organize Federal agencies, domestic
control of atomic energy, the Hobbs
antiracketeering bill, the long de-
bated plan to streamlihe Congress
itself, starting next year, and, finally
the one-year extension of a watered-
down OPA.
Sometime before Friday, Senate
leaders are expected to make one
more attempt to get through the
House-approved ban on poll taxes,
but with virtually no hope of over
coming Southern opposition.

| Reds Seen Preparing
For New Reparations
Plan in Germany
lx the Akxaciatad krsss


BERLIN, Oct. 26.-Russia's action
in removing factories and workers
from Germany to the Soviet Union
was interpreted in Allied quarters
tonight rs preparedness for any new
preparations plan that may come
out of the Foreign Ministers meet
ing on Germany next month.
German groups began making
protests to the Allied Control Coun-
Gil as q new wave of removals was
reported to Allied authorities.
The reported plan Of the Russians
to take from 10000 to $1,000 en-
gineers and technicians' to Soviet
presumably is tied to the factory
removal program since the skilled
manpower would be needed to oper-
ate the industries.
Have Right to Take Plants.
Under the Potsdsm agreement,
the Russians have legal right to
take any factory from their zone
as long as 1t does not interfere with
the agreed level for German indus
try. American officials said also
there is no four-power law forbid
ding the removal of workers.
However, American representa-
tiyes are investigating whethey
worker removals have Sheeti forced

they will seek adoption of O regnlaz
ton against coercion. ~ .
When the war ended. the Rus
slams went. in heavily for disman-
Ting German factories and taking
them to Russia. Last spring they
announced discontinuance of that
policy, presumably because they
found 1t uneconomic. Instead, they
announced, the factories would be
operated in Germany and that Rus
sia would take reparations from
their production.
Secretary Of State Byrnes decried
this policy in his Stuttgart speech.
The American contention was that
German industry could not be cut
down to q minor level If production
we're continued for repsraions.
Protest Sent to Council.
The German Workers Council,
representing about 10000 workers of
the big Zeiss optical works in Jena
sent . protest to the Allied Control
Council. complaining that removal
of that plant would bankrupt a
century-old social foundation which
supports welfare organizations in
the city and would produce wide
spread economic dislocation in Jena.
At Hamburg the German Zonal
Advisory Council of the British zone
adopted = formal resolution asking
that the deportation of workers be
stopped. =
British news agencies said two
more plants, at Bleicherode and
