Herzog and other members in their conflict with Denham.

Congress Clears Decks For Pre-Election Recess
Congress moved toward a long pre election recess with major bills largely completed. The week saw action on defense funding and tax increases while subversive control measures spanned the agenda. The Senate approved the Communist control bill and the emergency spending package, with a $4.508 billion tax hike, and a White House backed move to appoint Gen George C Marshall as defense secretary.

Price and wage controls and rationing were signed into law, with further appropriations work deferred to page two A.
