U.S. RECIPROCAL TRADE ACT MODIFIED
(10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, June 16. The House of Representatives completed Congressional action yesterday on a bill to continue the reciprocal trade programme in a modified form for another year. The measure was sent to the white House after the House of Representatives accepted by a voice vote, and without a debate, revisions which the Senate had made in the original House Bill. The “Administration had vigorously objected to restrictions which would be placed on the trade agreements programme by the legislation . There is no indication whether President Truman dislikes the Repub-lican-sponsored bill enough to veto it. As finally approved by Congress, the Reciprocal Trade Act would be continued until June 30, 1949. The Administration had pressed for a three-year extension of the old act which expired on June 6. The Senate voted a one-year extension yesterday.
