There was q twofold explana-

down; and 81 price tags and

Senate Economy Bloc
Faces New Test Today
On Labor Fund Cut
by the Assoeioied Press

The Senate got set today for q
fresh round Of debate On Presi-
dent Truman's spending program
Economy advocates faced a
major test on a move by Senator
Green. Democrat, of Rhode Island
He asked the Senate TO reconsider
the April 20 action which sent the
| $4,000, 900, 900 Labor Federal Sc
curity money bill back to the Ap-
propriations Committee with in
structions to trim 1t 5 per cent.
Majority Leader Lucas said the
appropriation for the Agriculture
Department was next in line for
action, probably to be followed 10y
the Army departments civil func-
tions money bill.
Both Bills to Stir Debate.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee approved $723, 3,083 ,249
for Agriculture, an increase Of
$21 ,961,170 over the House ap-
preparation, but S3,S23,659 under
the. budget estimate. For the
Army Departments civil func-
tions, it approved $751 .440. 600
$158,148 ,420 over the amount ap-
proved by the House, and $21 ,107,-
$50 less than the budget estimate.
Both bills contain items dear
10 the hearts of Senators-farm
programs, food control and rivers
and harbors projects.
But both were certain to gen.
crate new steam behind the
economy bloc's move to cut all
appropriations at least per cent.
Chairman Taft of the Senate
Republicans Policy Committee
and other high Republicans have
said that unless spending cuts
are made, the country will face a
choice of either increased taxes
or deficit spending. Some Demo-
Gratis have joined in that forecast.
Taft Says Truman Is Blocked.
It was eight Democratic votes
which swung the balance in favor
of Senator Taft's move to send
the Labor Federal Security appro-
priation back to committee for a
cut. The committee delayed ac-
tion, however, pending the out
come of today's vote on the mo-
tion by Senator Green.
Senator Taft said in a speech
at Columbus, Ohio, last night that
Republicans have blocked every
phase of the Truman program ex-
cept spending-"and we'll check
that"
Theoretically, the Senate had
before it as its first item of busi-
ness a bill to extend the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements Act until 1851.
But Senator Lucas said it would
be set aside for the money
measures.
