S. INFLATION
Washington, Dec. 15. The Democrats today defeated the Repubilcan Party's attempt to push its anti-inflation legis- lation through the House of Representatives without amendment as a substitute for Pre- sident Truman's 10-point anti-inflation pro- granime The vote for the bill was 202 against 188 votes, with not a single Democrat voting in favour, but a two-thirds majority was required for passage under the procedure which would have barred all amendments. The defeat of the Republi- cans' attempt at "steam roller Incica" increase doubts whe they the present special session of Congress-ending this wook -will enact legislation at 'all to cope with domestic Inflation The anti-inflation legislation of the Republicans was a "take It or
