POWER TO PRESIDENT

The first proposal would author

tcrest of national defense, if he
should desire TO do so.
Such a howl of opposition met

WOULD LIMIT SCOPE

Thus. the compromise measure
would limit the drafting powers
of the President specifically TO
plant facilities, materials, and
other facilities. such as power
deemed necessary to speeding W
the national defense program.
In denying that the President
would abuse the powers Of the
original draft-property bill, Pat
terson told the committee that II
was designed principally TO force
"recalcitrant" industrialists into
cooperation in the defense pro.
gram.
Committee members, however
said that they were opposed tC
vest such general powers in the
hands of the President for fear
that they would be abused by the
person or persons delegated tc
carry out the authority.
Most Of the opposition TO the
modified bill Is based on the
grounds that II would authorize
some government bureau to dis
terminate against the small manu-
Ifacturer. by confiscating his prop
erty and turning II over TO {
larger manufacturer for operation
