Senate Plans Backed In House Profit Fight
Washington April 4 AP The House crushed an attempt to attach drastic Senate tax provisions to the McSwain bill for eliminating war profits by a 258 to 71 vote. The Senate, meanwhile, pressed munitions testimony alleging company favoritism and naval contracts steering. The McSwain plan would freeze wartime prices, empower the president to commandeer materials and mobilize industry, and set up a control board with penalties for noncooperation. The Senate tax plan would cap profits at 1 percent of investment with a $10,000 annual limit, drafting corporate officers if needed. A former congressman named G W Edmonds was cited with a letter to Bath Iron Works. Continued on page 2.
