Test Is Due In House Today On Manpower Bills
The House faces a clash between the work-or-jail bill and the Senate substitute. The Senate measure imposes fines and imprisonment for violation of employment ceilings, while the House bill would compel 18 to 45 year olds to take war jobs or stay in current ones under severe penalties. Labor elements urge adoption of the Senate bill as a compromise. Senate appropriations totalling 43.145 billion for independent offices and 12.0 billion for War Department civil functions are set for votes. Senator McKellar plans to seek a rider to cut TVA’s receiving fund, forcing federal funding requests to Congress.
