Move in Senate to curb powers sought by FDR
Washington June 4 surveyed a strong move in the Senate to place a congressional check on powers to requisition private property for defense. Two anonymous senators said administration leaders were weighing a temporary measure requiring congressional action by resolution for such seizures. The White House says the aim is to allow rapid action against defense strikes and to prevent labor stalemates like the Milwaukee Allis-Chalmers dispute from delaying defense contracts. The House introduced a War Department bill by May of Kentucky to authorize temporary seizures. Senator Byrd questioned if the president alone should set prices for seized plants. Senator Reynolds said the military committee would decide Friday on hearings.
