Democrats Strike For Reconstruction Committee
Washington, Oct 15. Democratic leaders push a resolution for a committee on reorganization while contrasting it with Senator Weeks’s bipartisan committee on reconstruction. The Owen plan would have a Democratic majority subservient to the White House, tainting postwar policy with partisan aims. Proponents argue Weeks’s proposal offers a fair, nonpartisan path to prepare for peace.
