Legislation drastically limiting
Government competition with
private business may be enacted
in the House during the present
session, it was indicated today.
Signaling the sentiment Of its
members, the House crushed a
proposal sponsored by Mrs. Roose-
velt, that the Government conduct
a relief factory at Reedsville, w.
Va.
Today the expenditures COM
mittee opened hearings on a bill
by Representative Shannon OO
of Missouri, which would provide
new system of cost accounting
and cost reports for all executive
departments.
Would Air Expenditures
Mr.. Shannon's purpose is to
disclose the huge expenditures
which result from Federal manu-
featuring, construction and repair
activities.
Last year he headed a special
congressional committee, which
investigated Government compe-
tition with private industry. The
committee, sitting in. 10 cities
examined more than 600 witnesses
representing 200 industries.
He expressed the opinion that
passage of his bill would drive
the opening wedge into the pres
ent system under which many
Federal executive departments, in
dependent establishments, bureaus
and agencies may furnish their re
quired products by manufacturing
them.
Cost Issue Up
Under the proposed system OF
cost accounting Mr.. Shannon
hopes to turn the searchlght OF
publicity on the amount of money
taxpayers pour into the Treasury
to keep these Government indus.
tries in operation. He said:
ut is the contention Of many
members of this House that it
would cost far less If these Gov
drnment divisions would call
upon private industry to supply
the products and equipment
they need"
