House Approval Seen
For Substitute Plan
To Draft Industry
Government Would
Rent Plants Instead
Of Toking Over Properties

Predicting it would receive House
approval, Representative Smith,
Democrat, of Connecticut an
nounced today that he had prepared
a draft industry" amendment for
the pending CONSUMPTION bill to sub
stitute for the much debated Rus
sell-Overton provision which the
Senate included when it passed the
Burke Wadsworth legislation.
The substitute, he said, closely
followed the language of the exist
ing National Defense Act, which is
operative only In wartime or when
war is imminent.
Title Left for Owners.
It's main difference from the Sen
ate-approved provision, he explained,
was that 1t would leave title to the
drafted" industries in the hands
Of the owners, instead OF having
the Government acquire the prop
critics by condemnation proceedings
Government Not Hamstrung.
Representative Smith said the
amendment he had prepared would
enable the Government to act Just
as swiftly against factory owners
with whom terms could not be
reached on vital defense orders. The
Government, however, would merely
take over temporary operations of
the plants and pay the owners rent.
He said this was more desirable
than the Senate plan, which might
leave the Government saddled with
a host of factories for which it
would have no use after the emer-
gency passed.
While asserting 1t was more
drastic than the Senate provision
in that it would make refusal of
defense contracts felony punish

sentative Smith said his amendment
limited the power to manufactur.
ing concerns whereas the Senate
language included facilities" which
Representative Smith said might be
construed to mean newspapers or
radio stations.
Committee Action Due.
He said his amendment would be
submitted to the House Military
Committee tomorrow and, If ap-
proved, will go before the House
later in the week where he pre-
dicted it would be speedily adopted.

centered on the industrial draft is
