Confine Bill to
Strike Issue
ORIGINAL PROPOSAL
FOUND TOO BROAD
New Measure Would Allow
Taking Over Strike

(By International News Service)
Washington. June Sins Ad-
ninistration Senators today began
rewriting the War Departments
draft property bill as the House
Military Affairs Committee sum-
moned Secretary of War Stimson
to explain the purpose Of the far
reaching measure.
Rejecting the War Departments
proposal. which was so broad that
the President could commander
property OF any kind if related to
national defense, administration
senators propose to confine the
bill chiefly TO breaking strikes.
Sen. Byrnes CD S. c., ace New
Deal strategist. is said TO be work
ing w.th other senators in evolv-
ing combination bill from the
War Department measure and the
proposal OF Sen. Connally CD Tex.
The chief object. it was said, is
to give the President broad author
ity to take over strike bound in
dustries.
Rep. May CD Ky, chairman OF
the House Military Affairs Com
mittee. who openly criticized the
War Department draft property
plan, moved swiftly TO open hear
ings after President Roosevelt s
dramatic action in the strike at
the North American aviation com
panys lnglewood. Cal, plant.
We will find out from Secretary
Stimson and Undersecretary OF
War Patterson just why these
broad powers are wanted" said
May. I'VE will open hearings to-
morrow and hope to have Mr.. Slim
son as the first witness.
Just why the powers are need
ed II the President can take over
the North American Company is
something we'd like 10 have ex-
planned"
Influential leaders on the House
Committee, it was learned. warned
Undersecretary Patterson that they
will consider the bill only il prom
ised that its broad powers will be
used TO halt strikes.
While the President has emer-
gency powers to take over plants
in case of military necessity, some
congressional lawyers said. he can
not take over plants indirectly re-
lated to defense.
