War Department urges speedy bill on defense strikes
The War Department asked Congress to temporarily sidetrack the property seizure bill to speed passage of a measure granting the President explicit statutory authority to seize plants essential to defense. Patterson told the House Military Committee that amendments by Connally and Vinson would empower the government to take over facilities where defense production is impeded or threatened, while preferring not to delay existing proposals. The White House cited constitutional powers and a recent emergency in supporting the move. Byrnes indicated little opposition to the Connally amendment.
