5timson Urges Ending
Of Tariffs on Goods
Useful for Defense
Treasury Would Be Given
VirtuuI Control Over
Duties, Opponents Soy
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of War Stimson, it was
learned today, has urged Congress
! to enact legislation permitting the
Treasury to eliminate import duties
on any article certified by any de-
partment or agency to be useful for
national defense.
The proposal has drawn charges
from opponents that 1t would give
the administration a free hand to
eliminate tariffs at will. The meas
ure provides that duties may be
wiped out on goods imported "by
or on behalf of" Government de-
partments or agencies. Some legis-
lators have contended this language
is broad enough to give the Treas
ury virtual control over the tariff
structure.
Administration officials, on the
other hand, have argued that the
measure is designed only to permit
importations by various Government
ageCies-such as defense corpora
tions under the Reconstruction
Finance Corp.-without the payment
of duties.
Sends Letter to Reynolds.
Mr.. Stimson supported the legis-
lation in a letter to Chairman Rey-
nolds of the Senate Military Affairs
Committee. Made public today, the
communication said:
AT least in theory, the United
States Government would not suffer
financially by paying duty to itself
on articles owned and imported for
its own use, but such an arrange
ment is somewhat anomalous and
would involve unnecessary admins
trative expense and delay.
The import duty on articles and
materials suitable for defense pur-
poses is high, and if such payments
must be made the quantities of de-
fenSe articles and materials which
may be obtained from available ap-
propriationS will necessarily be sub
Stantially reduced. without any cor
responding advantge to the Govern
ment."
McCarran Opposes Bill.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, Of
Nevada told reporters he was EN-
phatically opposed" TO the bill and
added:
Perhaps Secretary Stimson doesn't
know that to protect our American
laborers and to maintain our living
standards in this country we must
prevent outright competition with
the slave labor abroad. The only
thing that stands between our living
standards and those of peon labor
in other countries is the tariff
system"

Aroused Congress
Studies Action 10
Prevent Strikes
Draft Act Amendment
To Permit Seizure of
Closed Plants Urged
By GOULD LINCOLN.

Aroused over strikes In national
defense plants, Congress is pre-
pairing to take remedial action as
speedily as possible. Several steps
we're under consideration in both
houses last night.
First. Democratic and Republican
leaders in the Senate have discussed
placing a provision in the bill
amending the Selective Service Act,
due to come before that body Tues
day, which would give the President
authority to take over and operate
plants which have been tied up by
strikes. This is regarded as a
speedy way in which to deal in a
legislative manner with the strike
situation.
Chairman Reynolds of the Sem
ate Military Affairs Committee.
who has given notice he will call
up the draft act amendment, limit
ing CONSUMPTION to men not yet %
years of age, said he would not
object to any amendment to the bill
designed to expedite the national
defense program.
Vinson Bill to Be Called Up.
Second, Chairman Vinson of the
House Naval Affairs Committee said
Representative Smith, Democrat, of
Virginia would on Monday, June
16. move to take up the special
rule for consideration of the Vinson
bill providing for a cooling of"
period before any strike may be
called in a plant engaged on ma
tional defense orders. This bill has
been favorably reported to the
House by the Naval Affairs Com
mittee and is on the calendar. The
special rule for its consideration
has been on the Speakers table,
ready to be called up.
Third, the House will take up
again tomorrow the S9,826, 500 ;422
Army appropriation bill, to which
there is pending an amendment
offered by Representative Starnes,
Democrat, of Alabama, which would
prohibit the payment of any of this
money to any worker who had
struck for a period in excess of 10
days in a national defense plant.
The expectation is that the amend
ment will be defeated, although the
support of this drastic provision
against strikers is symptomatic of
the frame of mind of large num-
Der of members of Congress. They
have heard from back home" that
the people are aroused to an un-
usual pitch over strikes in national
defense plants and the people are
demanding that Congress do
something about it.
In some quarters the plan to add
a provision to the draft amendment
