HaIIeck Asks Marshall
About Cut in Wool Tariff
BY the Associated Press

House Majority Leader Halleck
has asked Secretary of State Mar
shall for a yes-or-no answer on
whether the United States intends
to propose or agree" to a reduc-
ton in the American tariff on wool
at the International Trade Con-
ference in Geneva.
He made public letter to Gen.
Marshall yesterday in which he
said ''it is vital to the security of
the United States that the fast
vanishing domestic wool industry be
protected and encouraged" and that
tariff reduction would increase the
drain upon the Federal Treasury"
His letter followed President Tru-
mans recent action in vetoing a
measure for resumption of Gov
ernment wool support prices which
would have given the Chief Execu-
tive authority to boost tariffs or
fix import quotas if foreign wool
was depressing domestic prices.
Rather than attempting to over
ride the veto, the Senate subse-
quently passed a simple wool sup
port extension measure without the
controversial tariff quota clause. A
similar measure has been approved
by the House Agriculture Commit
tee.

Voice Of America
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Congress has competed action on a
1851 ,275, 900 appropriation bill wrap
ping up l948 funds for three Gov
ernment departments, including an
allotment for curtailed operation of
the Voice of America broadcasts to
Russia and other nations.
AS passed without debate by the
House and Senate yesterday, the
measure financing the State, Justice
and Commerce Departments provid-
ed $12,400,000 for the administra-
TONS foreign information program.
1t earmarked $6,387 $50 of this for
continuing the Voice of America
broadcasts. Eliminated from the
bills final version was another So
100000 for booster stations to step
up the power of transmissions
beamed at Russian listeners.
Compromise on Funds.
Originally, the State Department
had sought approximately $32 2,000,-
OOO lOl 1CS ofCloCoo ll11Ol AldClOil anu
cultural relations program during
the fiscal year, which began July l.
The House cut it out on the grounds
that the program-first started as a
wartime operation-never has been
formally authorized by legislation.
The compromise fund was in
serted by the Senate.
Since then, the House has passed
a measure authorizing the admins
tration to operate an Office of in
formation and educational exchange
under the supervision of an out
side, bipartisan 11-member board
Little Chance of Passage.
There seems little chance that
this measure will win Senate ap-
proval in the final drive for con-
gressional adjournment-at least in
time to obtain additional funds for
it's operation from the House APP
preparations Committee.
The State-Justice-C Commerce ap-
preparations bill, as it reached the
Presidents desk, is approximately
STAT 100000 below the Presidents
budget estimates. 1t includes 1884,
100000 for State, 100000 for

and $17,0O0,00O for the Federal
