Roosevelt asks Congress to guarantee veterans benefits
President Roosevelt urged Congress to provide mustering out pay, unemployment compensation, and credit toward old age pensions for returning veterans. The plan envisions monthly payments, federal funding, and job placement support for up to nine months, with registration for unemployment protection and federal handling of benefits across all ranks. The proposal follows earlier education and job programs and aims to ease the wartime to peacetime transition.

Subsidy Plan Continues After House Veto Battle
The House upheld the President's veto of a subsidy ban tied to a Commodity Credit Corporation extension. McCormack warned the current bill risks inflation and harm to fixed income consumers. Monroney and Patman argued the policy would curb production and push inflationary risk. Coalition tactics blocked an amendment by Herter to add a food stamp plan for the elderly and dependents.

Morrison frees Mosley as protests erupt in London
British Home Secretary Herbert Morrison announced the release from detention of Sir Oswald Mosley, head of the outlawed British Union of Fascists, citing medical risk if confinement continued. He said Mosley must remain at a specified residence with Lady Mosley and barred from contacting former Fascists or promoting political activity. Police faced a massive rally outside Parliament as demonstrators urged Mosley’s jail and Morrison’s removal. The crowd, estimated at 20 000 workers, included hundreds of men and women, and notable MPs joined the protests en route to Caxton Hall for a solidarity meeting.
