Senate Leaders Rush
Adjournment Action
House Member Suggests Measure
To Protect Homes And Insurance
WASHINGTON, July 6. — (AP) — Senate leaders are
trimming their lawmaking plans to bare bones in a drive to
wind up this session of Congress by August 1. /
Majority Leader Lucas (gD.-Ill.)-, with backing of the
Democratic policy committee, set the pattern yesterday by
cutting his list of required legislation to little more than
taxes and appropriations.
Chairman Taft (R.-Ohio) said the Senate GOP poliey
makers would not upset these plans.
uation threaiened to stand off the
session-end pressure of an election
year.
The probable list of legislative
casualties was a long one includ
ing President Truman’s repeated
demands for action on his civil
rights program.
House-passed bills to grant Ha
waii and Alaska statehood appear
ed like to die in the Senate rush.
So did the Communist control
bill that Republican senators have
been trying to get up for a Senate
vote.
Lucas listed another test vote
on the controversial Fair Employ
ment Practices bill among three
measures to be considered. But the
way it was listed indicated no hope
for victory.
Opponents of FEPC, including
southern Democrats, already have
defeated one attempt to limit sen
ate debate and bring up the meas
ure for an expected lengthy fili
buster.
Lucas said he would go through
these motions again next Monday
with a formal petition. That would
force a vote Wednesday. Obvious~
ly if he won that vote the Senate
would be debating FEPC for
weeks.
The main Senate business today
was a vote on President Truman’s
proposal to shift the big govern
ment lending agency, the Recon
struction Finance Corporation, to
the Commerce Department. Un
less the Senate or House votes this
transfer before July 9 it becomes
effective.
The House, weeks ahead of the
Senate on its lawmaking tasks,
was enjoying another 10-day va
cation with only token session.

New “Bill Of Rights”
Taxes And Appropriations Given
Priority Before Augusta Deadline
WASHINGTON, July 6.— (AP)—A new “bill of rights”
for men drafted into the armed forces was suggested today
by Rep. Dwight L. Rogers (D.-Fla.).
While there have been no inductions for 18 months, the
draft law which was extended last week for another year
would allow the President to order inductions at once in
the event the war situation becomes worse.
If_such inductions are ordered,
Rogers said, he will sponsor leg
islation too: ’
1. Insure that no inducted men
lose their regular life insurance
through premium lapse.
2. Provide that the government
make rent payments when neces
sary to prevent families of induct
ted men from being evicted for
non-payment of rent.
3. Guarantee that inducted men
shall not lose homes they are buy
ing through failure to meet mort
gage payments.
“The legislation I have in mind,”
Rogers told newsmen, “would pro
vide that the government take
over payment of rents and mort
gages and life insurances premi
ums if the man inducted requests
it. The government would make
those payments direct to the land
lord, the mortgage holder or the
insurance company during the
time a man is in service and for
six months after he gets out, in
order to give him a chance to get
back on his feet.” =
The payments made by the gov
ernment would be in the form of
a loan to the inducted man and
would be repayable, without in
tqrest, after discharge. The time of
repayment would be based on
length of service.
“] believeit would be reasonable
to give a man five years repay
ment time for each year in ser
vice,” Rogers said. “That would
spread out the repayment period
so as not to make the obligation
burdensome. If a man served two
years, he would have ten years in
which to repay the government
advances.”
The only cost to the govern
ment, Rogers said, would be the
interest it would have to pay on
money it puts up to meet the obli
gations of men in service.

Included are Indochina, neigh

On Bases; Red Fuel Believed Low
By The Associated Press i
A tank-led force of 40,000 Communist troops stabbed 60
miles south of captured Seoul today on the heels of with
drawing American and South Korean forces. Even so, Gen
eral MacArthur advised Washington the Americans’ sit
uation was not considered serious. i :
American jets and bombers, in the heaviest air action of
the war, hammered at the advancing Reds, destroying
eight of their tanks and 45 trucks.
In the face of the steady Com
munist push against the American
and south Korean ground forces,
reassuring word came from both
President Truman and Gen. Mac-
Arthur.
Mr. Truman told a news con
ference there are no present plans
to call the National Guard or
armed forces reserves to duty. The
President, in response to a re
porter’s question, said of course he
is hopeful that everything will
work out all right in Korea.
An army spokesman in Wash
ington said Gen. MacArthur had
advised the Pentaéon the situation
of the retreating Gl's in Korea “is
not considered serious in any
way.” The spokesman denied that
an American infantry outpost had
been “wiped out” by the Red ad
vance. He said the outpost had
withdrawn behind strong defen
sive positions with “very moder
ate” losses and under approved
tactical procedure.
The north Korea tank force
captured Pyonßtaek, 36 miles
‘south so Seoul. Then it overran
Songhwan, another five miles to
lt_“he so:ixtlsx, and Chonan, seven miles
eyond Songhwan.
“It was a bad one this time,”
said an American officer at an ad
vanced outpost below Chonan, de
scribing the Red drive as a small
scale blitzkrieg. The Americans
have withdrawn from a key com
mand post arter suffering what an
‘American officer said were nomi
nal to heavy casualties.
A spokesman ot U. S. headquar
ters in Korea said 20 to 35 north
Korean tanks and 19 to 25 Rus
sian-built Yak fighter planes have
been destroyed by American forces
in Korea. But the Communists
pressed on apparently unchecked,
and the spokesman confirmed that
the Americans had retreated from
their forward positions. The
spokesman said 160 to 170 Red
tanks are believed south of the
'3Bth parallel.
. Gen. MacArthur’s headquarters
‘said rocket firing F-0 Jets destroy~
‘ed eight tanks and five trucks of
‘the Communist forces pushing
south from Suwon. In addition a
flight of B-26 bombers destroyed
40 trucks.
The spokesman at American
headquarters in Korea said U. S.
troops had been rolled back eight
to 10 miles.
