Veto Of Tax Cut
Now Seems Certain
WASHINGTON June 14 <tr.Pi' _
President Truman back at his desk
after a three-day visit to Canada,
today took up the knotty problem
of what to do with the Republican-
sponsored labor and tax reduction
bills.
The tax bill, designed to cut
personal income levies by from
10.5 to 30 per cent, seemed almost
certain to get a veto. But all Mr.
Truman would say was that he
would act on it Monday.
* When he got off the train last
nighft upon his return from Canada
Mr- TVuman laughed off a reporter
who asked him—'When Is the veto
message going to Congress.'
The deadline on the tax bill is
Monday midnight. The President
will have more time to think about
the Taft-Hartley union-cor.tro' bill
since 'he deadline on that measure
is not unftil Friday midnight.
Opinion among both Republicans
pnd Democrats on Capitol Hill was
that President Truman would veto
the "tax bill and that the veto
would be sustained—possib'y in
the House and certainly in the
Senate.
\ Predictions as to what Mr. Tru-
. man would do about the labor bill
I were less positive. Some Demo-
cratic sources close to the White
House said they thought a veto
was the more probable. But they
conceded Congress was virtually
certain to override It thus making
the bill a law.

Unions Go Ahead
With Strike Plan
WASHINGTON June 14 <U.R>
The government awaited union-
industry replies today to its plan
for averting a nationwide walkout
at midnight tomorrow by 200.000
maritime workers.
One independent and five CIO
unions went ahead with strike
preparations while their leaders
debated a government request for
extension of their present con-
tracts until new agreements are
reached. The current pacts ex-
pire tomorrow midnight.
Edgar L< Warren, chief of the
U. SS. Conciliation Service, said
there was a 'fair prospetft' of
nvoiding a work stoppage. But
CIO president Philip Murray was
less optimistic and advised 4he
unions they wou'd have full CIO
support in their efforts to secure
a 'satisfactory agreement.'

GOP Demands Part
In Spending Plan
WASHINGTON, June 14 <U.R> _
Secretary of state George t> Mar.
shall today faced a Republican de
mand for a larger voice in I he
formulation of American Foreign
policy—specifically in planning the
projected mul'ti-bil'km dollar US.
program for rehabilitation Europe.
The demand by Senate president
Arthur H- Vandenburj, Republi-
can, Mich., was for immediate
creation of a special bi-partisan
advisory council 'at the highest
attainable level* to help create
a. "iota' balance sheet' of how
much a war-sick world needs anil
how much the United Stales can
afford to pay.
Reaction of other members of
Congress fo Vandenourg's proposal
was mixed. Some Republican Sen-
ators said privately they were
dubious about any further U. S.
spending abroad. Sen Roliert A
Taft, Republican, Ohio, chairman
of the GOP policy committee, re-
vealed that he would have a
statement of his own soon on the
subject of foreign spending.
