Congress Moves to Limit War Plant Seizures
Washington May 3 Congress launched moves to curb seizures of private property as investigations into the Montgomery Ward & Company actions gain pace. A Senate judiciary subcommittee led by Senator McCarran will hear witnesses including Attorney General Biddle and Ward chairman Sewell Avery. In the House a special seven member committee may be created to run a concurrent inquiry as administration allies anticipate broad support. The debate centers on restricting seizures to industries clearly linked to the war program and protecting private enterprise against government action.
