Trade Act One Year
Sent 10 White House
Senute Amendments
Accepted by House
In Final Passage
BY the Asseeiufed Press

| Congress passed and sent to
the White House today Repub-
lican-sponsored bill extending
| the Reciprocal Trade Agree
ments Act for one year with
some changes in its provisions.
The House completed congress
sional action. passing the tariff bill
by voice vote after accepting
amendments tackled on by the Sen
ate in adopting the measure yester-
day. -
In approving a one-year extern
sion and changing provisions of the
act, the Republican, dominated
Congress again disregarded recon-
mendations of President Truman.
The administration had asked for
a three-year extension Of the re-
ciprocal trade measure without
changes. Unless Mr.. Truman should
veto the GOP-sponsored bill. it will
revive the Trade Agreements Act
which expired last Saturday mid
night.
New Authority to ETC.
Urging renewal of the act on "as
is" basis, Secretary of State Marshall
had told Congress any other action
would cripple Americas global eco
nomic leadership.
The Republican-backed bill gives
new authority to the Federal Tariff
Commission to recommend peril
points" beyond which the commits
sio1 feels the President should not
60 in making agreements. The
commission would have to make
such reports within four months
after it is called on to do so.
The President could disregard
these recommendations but would
have to tell Congress why he did
so within 80 days.
A provision in the original House
bill giving Congress veto power"
over agreements when the Presi-
dent overrode Tariff Commission
recommendation was stricken from
the bill by the Senate. The House
accepted that action.
Democrats fought to the last in an
effort to get an extension of the
bill without changes.
Senate Republicans rammed their
bill through late yesterday, 10 to 18.
But the % Democrats who went
along with COP members did so
only after the Senate had batted
down three motions by Senator
Barkley of Kentucky. the minority
leader, to continue to act without
change.
On practically party line votes. the
Republicans defeated a three-year
extension attempt, .48 to Al, two
years, A to 42, and one year 46
to 43.
On final passage. Senator Cooper
of Kentucky was the only Republican
to line up with II Democrats who
voted against the GOP-backed bill.
The vote came after Senator VAN

Russia Agrees
To i. ). Idea Of
Danube Talks
Note Urges Shipping
Be Discussed at Site
Other Than Belgrade
By Gornett D. Horner

Russia has agreed to an Amer
lean proposal for convening an
international conference July 80
to consider free navigation rules
for the Danube River, the State
Department disclosed today.
A note received from the Soviet
Embassy yesterday concurred in the
proposal, but suggested that the
conference be held in some city
other than Belgrade, Yugoslavia,
where the United States suggested
it be held.
The Russians also agreed to an
American suggestion that Austria
be invited to send representatives tc
the conference in a consultative
capacity, but rejected full partici-
patton for Austria.
Held Up by Details.
This represents the first major
action toward settlement of pending
problems between Russia and the
western powers since the recent ex-
change between American Ambas-
sador Walter Beden Smith and So
Wet Minister Molotov.
At that time Mr.. Molotov seized
on remark by Gen. Smith that the
door is always open for discussion
and settlement of differences in
way that raised hopes for full-dress
discussions that were quickly dashed
by the State Department. Ameri-
can officials emphasized that prob
lens causing world tension could be
setted through existing machinery
whenever the Russians were ready
to act.
The Big Four-the United States.
Great Britain, Russia and France
agreed in December, 1916, to call
conference to work out a new con-
vention regarding navigation of the
Danube within six months of the
coming into force of the Balkan
peace treaties.
These treaties became effective
last September Is. but calling of the
conference had been delayed by dis
agreement over details such as Aus
trlan participation.
Belgrade First Urged by Reds.
The last American proposal was
sent on May Is to the Russian,
British and French governments.
1t suggested that the conference be
called for July 80 in Belgrade-a
site previously suggested by the
Russians.
The Russian reply disclosed by
the State Department today said,
however, that the Yugoslav govern

In Senate With Slim
Chance for Passage
FuIbrieht to Offer Repeal
Measure as Amendment
To Lone-Ronee Farm Bill

The Oleomargarine tax repeal
battle broke out on the Senate
floor today, but the chances for
passage of the House-approved
bill before Congress quits still
are slim.
Margarine hackers won a 5-to-
26 vote to consider the bill during a
call OF the Senate calendar. But
under Senate rules consideration
had to be completed by ! pm.
Senator Wiley, Republican, OF Wis

peal, blocked any action by a half
hour f1libuster lasting until pm.
However, Senator Fullbright,
Democrat, OF Arkansas, chief mar
garine hacker in the Senate, an
nounced that he intends to offer
the tax repeal measure as an
amendment to the long-range farm
bill, due to be taken up later today.
Encouraged by Roll Call.
The senator was encouraged by
the roll call which showed a clear
majority of the Senate as favoring
consideration of tax repeal, if not
approval OF it. Margaring hackers
always have claimed they could win

Senator Fulbright. however, point

House and Senate would likely be
Overwhelmingly anti-margarine.
Thus, despite approval of both
House and Senate they could throw
out the amendment. This would be
subject to vote of both houses,
however.

bill came to the Senate floor, indi-

Speedy Passage Predicted.
Backers and foes of the measure
predicted speedy passage. AND
Senator Aiken, Republican, OF Ver-
mont, floor manager OF the measure,
said he thinks the chances are good
the House will accept 1t.
The House last Saturday passed
an 18-month extension Of the pres
ent price support law. House farm
leaders indicated opposition to tax
ing up the long-range proposal this
late in the session. They hope to
avoid a party y-line fight now on a
topic bound to provide a major
election campaign issue.
