American Urges Ruthless Curb Of Wehrmacht Plan

The committee of smaller United Nations had earlier submitted proposals for controlling and liquidating Germany’s economy.

Senate Approves Waterways Plan Despite Seaway Rejection
The Senate approved two water use programs and a $1.0 billion flood control authorization, while rejecting the St Lawrence seaway project. The bills, tied to postwar jobs, authorize flood control, navigation, reclamation, and hydroelectric works nationwide with no current appropriations. The Missouri river valley plan aims at initial $400 million for development by the Army Engineers and Reclamation Office, and an administrative TVA-like authority may be proposed for the next Congress.
