An attempt to report out
Immediately another public
works money bill to replace
the $1.2 billion measure vetoed
by President Eisenhower was
blocked by the House Appro-
priations Committee today.
A two-hour closed session Of
the full committee ended in q
decision to refer the matter to
the subcommittee which ham
died the original bill. The sub
committee planned to meet
later today.
The full committee was
called into session BY Chair
man Cannon. Democrat Of
Missouri, as a result Of House
action yesterday upholding MIR.
Eisenhower's veto Of the first
bill. The 274-to-138 vote fell
one vote short Of the two-thirds
majority required to override
the veto.
Bill Cuts 81 Projects
Mr.. Cannon had hoped to
have the committee report out
today . revised bill eliminating
81 projects Mr.. Eisenhower
found Objectionable because
they had not been budgeted or
otherwise approved by the adj
ministration at this time. A
motion to strike out those 81
items repeatedly was defeated,
% to 10.
A motion by Representative
Thomas, Democrat of Texas. to
refer the problem to the sub
committee then was adopted.
This setback was regarded as
only q temporary delay in
bringing a new bill to the
House floor. Speaker Rayburn
told reporters, however. he had
mo idea" how soon a bill would
come out of the full committee
or what kind of a bill it would
be. Some committee members
had indicated they favor strik-
ing out even more than 81
projects, including some spon-
sored by House members who
