Washington, June 15—This past fective usefulness,
week in congress has seen both sen
ate and house marching two ways,
the senate talking about economy and
(actually shaving about a billion dol-
> lars off the defense bill, with the
house, in seeming contradiction,'
whooping through a veterans’ bonus;
bill which will cost nobody-knows-
how-many billions and also a new
post-office pork-barrel bill which,
appropriated $46,000,000 to buy sites
and prepare structures for every
[Congressional district in the country
The senate passed a similar bill back
on March 18 and presumably more
funds will be forthcoming later for
any actual construction work.
Whether the soldier bonus bill
which includes all veterans of both
World War I and II will aow get on
the senate calendar at this late date
is conjectural.
Insofar as the peace and other
foreigR program measures are con
cerned, the first thing on the calen
dar is passage of the extension of
the reciprocal trade agrements
which expire on June 30. In the last
congress, it will bo remembered, with
the backing of both Governor Dewey
of New York and Governor Warren
of California, the 80th congress re
-fused the usual three-year extensioa
and made the agreements good only
until the June date this year.
This year, however the agreements
.have been blue-printed as an indi
spensable part of the Marshall plan.
This question of tariffs has been un
der constant atack since 1934 when,
under the pressure of the then sec
retary of state Cordell Hull and
