Measure Doomed as It Stands in Taft Hartley Debate
The Senate committee clashed over whether the government can obtain court injunctive powers to block national emergency strikes if Taft Hartley direct provisions are repealed. Attorney General Clark asserted broad access to courts in appropriate circumstances, while Republicans challenged the claim amid tense testimony by Tobin and Donnell urging an injunctive mechanism or a formal writ clause.

Navy to cut forces to meet 1950 budget plan
Navy plans a general reduction in activity and employment at shipyards to enter fiscal 1950 with required force levels. To use 1949 funds, reductions must start before June 30, while the proposed budget minimizes overall strength but adds several new ships. Active fleet adjustments include eight attack carriers and 170 destroyer-type vessels, with 27,000-ton carrier Oriskany among new entries and several ships slated for conversion or maintenance status at various stations.
