Senate fights tighter curb on war profits in April hearings
Washington April 4 The Senate munitions committee pressed a drive for stricter war profit curbs than the House plan. Testimony linked a friend of James Roosevelt to naval shipbuilding influence and a former congressman to Bath Iron Works business. The panel questioned Edmonds company ties and McGrath sought Bath job favors while Howe, Roosevelt's associate, was ill. The House debated McSwain’s bill, opponents called it a farce, but the chamber moved quickly against amendments. The Senate plan taxes profits to 3 percent and salaries to 10,000, with officer drafts for noncooperation.
