President Truman mildly criti-

reaus as he and other admins
tration leaders looked hopefully
to the Senate to restore at least
part of the slashed appropria-
tions for the Labor Department

A bipartisan drive in the Senate
to upset action of the House in
cutting the appropriations was ex-
pected to be led by Senator Morse
Republican, of Oregon. He has ex.
pressed himself as not only in favor
of building up the NLRB as a means
of combating industrial strife, but
has come to the defense of Edgar L

ton chief, who would be ousted from
his job by the House slash.
Mr. Truman was asked at his
news conference what he thought
Of the House action in denying funds
to pay Mr.. Warren and about 1OC
aides. The President replied that
he had never approved of that sort
of maneuver. He remarked, how.
ever, that the Senate still must act

did not want to comment further
on the legislation until it had
reached him.
Determined to Make Cut.
Unless the Senate alters the House
action, Mr.. Warren and his top as
sistants will be jobless even before

that terminal leave payments for
those discharged must be made out

dition to denying funds to pay Mr.
