Goodwin cautions manpower will cap war production while outlining three moves to shift labor toward defense roles and protect essential plants while advising on draft impacts.

House Blocks Excess Profits Tax Bid in Split Action
In Washington the House blocked adding a 6 million dollar excess profits tax to the general tax bill as procedural rules halted the move. Speaker Rayburn ruled a conference committee could not insert new subject matter into the bill while reconciling differences. A separate measure to oppose adjournment until a vote on the tax was adopted, while backers pressed for a quick action vote. Congress may recess until after the election to pursue a big profits levy for corporate income beginning mid-1950. The tax backers won a 225 to 106 vote allowing reception of proposals on the excess profits tax.
