THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON, D.
Senate Joins House
In 7 Weeks Truce
On Labor Legislation
Leaders Expect Cool OFF
Period to Give Opinion
Time to CrystoIIize
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A tacit truce on demands for war
time labor legislation until after
Easter Is giving congressional lead
ers their first breathing spell in
many weeks.
With House members assured that
no important legislation would be
considered there for two weeks, Sen
ate leaders we're reported today to
have agreed that the sizzling labor
profits argument would be shelved
for the same period.
Meanwhile, leaders expected this
cooling-o1 period to give public
opinion as expressed in mail and
other communications a chance to
crystalline. Senators were said to be
planning series Of three day re-
cesses with no legislative action ex-
cept routine appropriation measures
for the next fiscal year.
The Senate Appropriation Com
mittee planned early action on the
huge new $l8,301 ,961, ,345 omnibus
war appropriation approved by the
House Saturday night.
Supply Measures Pile Up.
1t also had to act on the annual
farm bill and several other supply
measures that piled up while SEN
ators devoted three weeks to the
debate over the right of Senator
LANCER, Republican. of North Da-
kota to retain his seat, decided in
his favor Friday.
Although no major legislative &C
ton was scheduled committees at
both ends of the Capitol planned
busy week.
The special Senate committee in
vestigating national defense called
ofI1cials of the Standard Oil Co. of
New Jersey to answer charges by
Assistant Attorney General Thur
man Arnold regarding patents for
synthetic rubber and gasoline ex-
changed with German industrial
leaders. The oil executives were
asked to testify tomorrow.
Senator Connally, Democrat, of
Texas served notice that he would
make another attempt to get Senate
action on his anti-strike bill calling
for Government seizure of plants
and freezing all labor conditions
where disputes threaten war pro-
duction.
Leaders Hope for Delay.
Administration leaders in both the
Senate and House, however, hoped to
avoid any action on this or the bill
from Chairman Vinson Of the House
Naval Affairs Committee dealing
with labor and profits under war
contracts, until the truce period
passed.
1t appeared probable, however,
that the Senate's hand might be
forced by the minute amend
ment which Representative Case,
Republican, South Dakota inserted
in the $18,301 ,961 ,345 war appro-
priation bill. This provision, ap-
proved by a vote of 10 to without
debate, called for a limit of per
cent on all war profits.
The Case proviso was broadly
drawn, which led to considerable
uncertainty among House members
over the mechanics of its operation,
If approved. Chairman Cannon of
the Appropriations Committee, for
example, commented that while the
objective is splendid, the amendment
is absolutely unavoidable" and would
have to be recast by the Senate.

Towers Tells House
BY the Associated Press.

The Navy Department is steadily

In manufacturing plants between
the New York and Baltimore met
ropolitan areas, Rear Admiral John
H. Towers informed Congress in
testimony released today.
AZ instances, he cited these devel-
opments:
Aircraft engines are to be built
in a plant in the New York area
that formerly was occupied by an
industry manufacturing containers.
"The Trenton plant Of General
Motors Corp. is being shifted to air
craft manufacture.
The same company's plant at
Baltimore is likewise shifting to air
craft work; the same is true of the
company's very large plant in Lin
den, N. ].

gagged in making the Weston stabila-

ownership engaged in war work. The

Admiral Towers, chief Of the
Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics, dis
cussed wartime use of industrial
plants In testifying before the House
Appropriations Committee during
the hearings on the sixth supple
mental national defense appropria-
ton bill. He cited the New York
Baltimore section in reply to q ques-
ton by Representative Plumley, Re-
publican, of Vermont.
What bothers me about the situa-
ton respecting new plants and the
terribly increased expenditure of
money" Mr.. Plumley said, "is the
fact that between Philadelphia and
Wilmington, Del, strung out along
the railroad, there are plants which,
in my judgment, could be utilized by
the Army and Navy. They consist
of miles OF glass and brick, but no.
body seems to give any considera-
ton to them"
Many Rightly Abandoned.
In the New York-Baltimore sec
ton, Admiral Towers replied, there
are many industrial properties
abandoned for good reasons one or
two generations ago.
These properties, largely once
engaged in the paper, wallpaper,
paper box, textile, rubber special
ties, cordage. soft fiber, and metal
industries, are of such designs and
in such states of delapidation that
they probably can never again be
usefully occupied by industry. even
under the pressure Of war" the
admiral added.
"On the other hand, in addition
to the larger more modern units
I have mentioned as specific exam
Piles Of employment on war work,
many smaller, less modern buildings
are being utilized by host of indus
tries in expanding their capacities.
These processes are continuing and
1t is anticipated that all useful
buildings up to the limits of man
agement and labor that can be made
available will be utilized in this
