Senate Due 10 Vote
Today on National
Civil Defense Bill
Amendments Will Be
Considered Before Action
Is Taken on Measure
By Crosby S. Moves

The Senate prepared to vote on
the national civil defense bill in
what seemed likely to be one of
its last actions on a major piece
Of legislation at this session.
The measure, brought up after
approval of the $19 billion appro-
priation bill yesterday, was car
ried over as unfinished business to
let Republican Senators prepare
such amendments as they might
wish to offer.
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio, who originally suggested
that the bill go over until January
indicated yesterday he would not
oppose vote today. A similar bill
was passed by the House Wednes-
day, and the measure is expected
to go Immediately to conference
following Senate action.
Amendments Proposed.
Among the amendments to be
considered before vote on the
bill is a proposal of Senator Nc
Mahon. Democrat, of Connecticut
requiring the civil defense admin
jstrator to consult with the Secre-
tary of Defense and the joint
chiefs in determining which cities
shall be classified as critical target
areas.
A second. offered by Senator
Ives. Republican, of New York,
would provide that the agency,
when acquiring property by other
means than condemnation. shall
pay a fair price for it. If the
owner did not agree on the COM
pensation. he would be paid rs
per cent of the total and the re-
mainder would be fixed by the
courts.
The amendment also provides
for giving the former owner first
chance to buy his property from
the agency when it Is no longer
needed.
