ate alone. the second, If passed,
will go to the House. Neither
would go to the President for sig
nature, and, therefore. would not
have the force of law.
The Senate resolution will be
taken up first, and most observers
believe it will pass by substantial
majority. Administration leaders
assured the Republicans yesterday
the second resolution will be taken
up Immediately after the first,
but President Truman's support
ers are reserVing the right to
oppose the second one.
Wherry Standing Firm.
The second resolution, calling
for House concurrence, may
bring together the two extremes
in the Senate-those who want
the President to have a free hand
in sending troops to Europe and
those who oppose sending any
ground forces.
Senate Republican Floor Leader
] Wherry of Nebraska said he will
not vote for any resolution ap-
proving the sending of any troops
to Europe. He and a few other
Republicans, therefore, may find
themselves lined up with Chair
man Connally in opposing the
second House-Senate resolution.
Present indications are that
most of the Republicans will favor
action by both houses. Although
Chairman Taft of the Republican
Policy Committee has not dis
closed how he will vote since the
two resolutions were reported, he
rut himself on record several
weeks ago as believing Congress
as whole should lay down the
policy.
Sharp Division on Issue.
The big fight in the Senate will
be over the meaning of the phrase
congressional approval in both
resolutions. The controversial
section declares that, in the in
terest of unity and constitutional
processes, congressional approval"
should be obtained for the policy
of assigning troops to Europe.
Senators are divided sharply,
however, over whether this means
the President would have to wait
for passage of law, or merely
consult congressional leaders be-
fore sending additional forces.

1t gained the floor for what

Fulbright gained the floor for what
he intended as brief, extempo-
raneous reply to some statements
in the previous days speech by
Senator Bricker advocating aboli-
ton of RFC.
In the House, meanwhile, Rep
resentative Meader, Republican,
of Michigan, former legal counsel
of the Senate subcommittee in
troduced a bill whereby a reor-
ganization proposal by the Presi-
dent could be rejected by simple
majority of those voting on it in
either branch of Congress. The
present requirement is for a ma
jority of the total membership of
House or Senate.
The House also received bill
from Representative Gamble, Re-
publican, of New York to liqui-
date RFC as soon as possible. The
measure, described as representing
the official stand of the House
Republican Policy Committee,
would transfer the RFC rubber,
tin and abaca programs to the
Commerce Department and direct
the Treasury Department to liqui-
date RFC.
Today, the House Appropriations
Committee reported out several
departmental supply measures
with note that action has been
deferred on a SIT million outlay
for RFC.
That was indicated earlier this
week in a House debate. The
committee explained today that it
had deferred action of RIGS ap-
preparation for the coming fiscal
year until Congress has acted on
the Presidents proposed reorgan-
ization of the agency.
