War Profits Compromise Sought by Senate Finance Committee
The Senate Finance Committee, led by Chairman George, moves to bridge differences over future war contract renegotiations urged by President Roosevelt. They aim for a compromise acceptable to Administration, while curbing expansive powers to revise contracts, as work on a $2.275 billion tax bill proceeds. Opponents fear weakened renegotiation and exemptions for standard commercial items. Senate leaders note some members want a fixed renegotiation date.
