New Plan Proposes Board To Oversee Atomic Energy
Conservatives push a plan to create a new board led by Secretary of State Marshall to govern all atomic production with war and navy secretaries and two presidential appointees on the board. The move links nuclear control to national security amid international tension. The House passes a modified Knutson tax cut proposal offering 20 to 30 percent relief for lower incomes, benefiting over 24 million people. Speaker Martin backs the measure, arguing it eases taxation while supporting debt reduction and job creation.
