Baruch urges government control of war munitions
Bernard Baruch, head of the World War Industries Board, tells the Senate munitions committee that peacetime manufacture of war implements should be government licensed or done by the government. He faces prodding from Nye and Byrnes as they defend his wartime record and discuss cost controls and government orders for firms like Colt Manufacturing. Baruch cites the need to prevent profits from war and to fix cost standards.

The North Carolina House debated higher public school appropriations as the Senate passed a bill restricting county party chairs from running for public office in counties they oversee. Amendments proposed raising the funding to 22 million yearly, with revenue estimates around 33 million annually, while a 64 million biennial budget drew debate over a projected deficit. The measure seeks to prevent county chairs from influencing elections in counties they advise.
