Agreement Permits President to Let Recommended Imposts Lapse by Inaction DROPS COMPULSORY CLAUSE G. O. P. Leaders Certain Meas- ure Is Safe Against Further Points of Order Washington, May 29.--()}—The conferees on the tariff bill today agreed upon a new flexible provision which would broaden considerably the powers of the president and re- strict the authority of the tariff com- mission. The new proposal would authorize the tariff commission to recommend | increases or decreases in rates up to |50 per cent and the president could approve them or let them lapse by inaction. The executive would not be required to disapprove a commission finding. if he saw fit, as was required under the original plan. The 60-day period given him to act also was stricken out. The conferences also eliminated that section which would have per- mitted a commission rate to become effective if the president neither ap- ed nor disapproved it within 60 lays. Follows Existing Law The new plan follows closely the existing flexible tariff policy with a few minor additions taken from the house bill. Republican leaders were certain it has been made safe against further points of order and planned to report it to the senate today. Debate on the proposition, as well as the tariff in general, is expected to start in the senate Monday. The flexible plan was returned to conference Tuesday. The only restriction now to be plac- ed on the president which is not in existing law is that he shall not change the commission's findings in proclaiming a rate change. At present, the president may pro- claim a different duty from that rec- ommended by the committee but he must stay within the 50-per-cent lim- itation. Restriction Is Removed Another section eliminated by the conferees today to avoid another point of order would have required the President to appoint the chairman of the tariff commission on a rotation basis with no one man serving as chairman more than once during a term, The present law on this point, per- mitting the same chairman to be re- appointed every year, was substituted. The differences in cost of produc- tion between domestic and foreign articles is retained in the new provi- sion as the basic factor to be equaliz- ed by the commission in determining flexible rate changes. A rate proclaimed by the president would take effect within 30 days of his affirmative action. The original Proposal would have made it effective in 10 days. Declaring President Hoover was “hungry for more power,” Senator | Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi, at- tacked the new provision. Coming directly from the confer- ence room, he told the senate it “demolished” the work of the senate in restoring the flexible rate chang- ing power to congress and represent- ed a victory for the house.
