Senate and House Near Breakthrough on Price Control Bill
A Senate committee witness received a time extension by telephone, then disappeared. The witness was later said to be under subpoena by the House and could not testify before senators. The Pearl Harbor committee probed Wyman's ties to Hans Wilhelm Rohl, a German who became a naturalized American amid the war buildup, and Rohl held partial ownership in Hawaii Constructors, a defense contractor. House Banking Chair Spence said the compromise bill is the best possible, predicting the president will sign. The conferees plan to meet again to settle differences over meat and grain price ceilings, with floor votes expected. In Detroit, a 22,000-member foremen union threatened a strike if price controls are not restored by August 1, potentially shutting more than 500 plants.
