House Passes Subversives Bill

WASHINGTON, P - Disre- garding the chance of Presiden- tial veto, the House today passed subversives control bill calling for peacetime registration of com munists and wartime internment of potential spies and saboteurs.
 Agreeing to Senate-House compromise on conflicting yer sions of the bill, the House sent it back to the Senate for expected speedy concurrence.
 By completing Congressional action at once, the Senate could send the bill to the White House in time for President Truman to act on it before Congress begins a hoped-for adjournment or recess this weekend.
 Should President Truman de- eide to veto it, today's top-heavy vote made 1t almost certain that the House would override it by the necessary tWo- thirds vote.
 The bill is one of three measures standing between congress and a vacation.
