BRUCE 1st meeting of Pacific Council will be held in Honolulu in August. SNYDER Treasury appropriation got thru OK. LOVETT Defense appropriation was cut badly yesterday. However the Public Works phase was the target of the big cut. Can go back for supplementals if Defense Program gets in a jam. Cut was from 71 billion to 52 billion. Steel strike is crippling the Defense Program. Even with emergency pro- duction the requirements are not being met. MCGRANNERY Appropriation for Justice came thru pretty well only cut was in Border Patrol which will make it tough to control wet backs coming into Texas from Mexico. PMG House cut P. O. appropriation by about 28 millions. Ferguson of Michigan asked for cut of 45 million in Senate. If this latter cut goes thru it will cut postal service and deliveries.
