Senate Ready To Give Favor To Trade Pacts Washington, May 29. (IP) Con lidence that the Senate will vote to continue the reciprocal trade agreements law without change, possibly by Tuesday night, was voiced today by Senator George (D Ga). Before adjourning over the Me morial Day weekend, the Senate agreed to vote at 2.30 p. m. Tues day on the controversial Danaher amendment, adopted by the Finance Committee over Chairman George's objections.

The amend ment would empower Congress to end the trade agreements by joint resolution six months after the war ends. George and Republican Leader McNary both were ready for a Tuesday night session if there is any possibility of getting a final vote on the bill. While admitting the vote would be close, George predicted all amendments would fail. He contends that adoption of the proposal made by Senator Danaher (R Conn) would be equivalent to serving notice on friendly nations that the United States is considering a change in its trade policies. That theory was attacked and aeienaea yesterday during six hours of listless oratory in the sparsely tenanted chamber.

The law, in effect for the past nine years, authorizes the Presi dent, without Congressional ap proval, to enter into trade agreements with other nations and to raise or lower tariff rates as much as 50 per cent.
