Senate Bounds Wage Board Powers in Defense Act Debate
The Senate voted 42 to 41 to limit the Wage Stabilization Board to economic issues and place. The plan would set up a seven member National Emergency Price and Wage Board under the Defense Production Act. The President could refer disputes and the board would report within 113 days. Seizure powers could be used if parties rejected findings, with just compensation. A separate Joint Resolution seeks a constitutional amendment to bar federal seizure of private property.
