Wilson Defends U.S. defense program on mobilization
Mobilization chief Charles E. Wilson says the defense program is fair to labor and not biased toward big business. Labor leaders push for a deputy in his office and react to talks with Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston who plans a decision on a wage ceiling. Johnston will gather data and decide if the 10 percent ceiling up from Jan 15 1950 stands or changes.

Hear Admiral on Seaway
Vice Admiral Edward L. Cochrane testifies before Congress urging quick approval of the St. Lawrence seaway and power project. Supporters call it vital for a deep water shipping route to Labrador iron ore. Interior Secretary Chapman notes Mesabi ore would last 10 to 14 years and Canada may build the route alone without U S approval. Under the 1941 agreement both nations would share roughly half of the estimated energy output.
