The Easter recess ends a six week, 24 sittings proceeding, with sessions not guaranteed to resume, as officials fear scapegoating of France’s defeat and march toward broader accusations.

Decision Drastic III Report By Associated Press

Officials debated a broad program to freeze prices wages and profits with input from Treasury Secretary Morgenthau and a faction led by Leon Henderson and Marriner Eccles.

Knox's Labor Legislation Ideas Are Probed by House Panel
April 4 Washington Associated Press Secretary Knox’s labor views are sought by the House naval committee chaired by Vinson. A revised labor bill limits profits on large war contracts to six percent of cost or $6,000, aims to aid small contractors, and would apply to all war contracts while excluding civilian services. The plan shifts profit review to the Treasury and bans double overtime pay, offering time and a half after 48 hours, plus a freeze on the closed shop pending contract reviews.
