Showdown on
Profits Near

Washington, Mar. 21-lNS- On
two fronts Congress headed today
toward a showdown fight over the
question of war profits.
At the request Of the House Nav
al Affairs Committee. the Army
and Navy were to submit plans for
drastically limiting returns on theE
contracts.
At the same time, the House
Ways and Means Committee, which
is considering the S7,6lO,000,OOO
new tax bill, faced increasing de-
mands that all possible "loopholes
will be plugged so that virtually all
excess corporate profits will be
drained off in taxes.
Request by the naval group for
Army-Navy data on the matter
came after representatives of the
two departments declared that they
favored profit limitations but op-
posed a bill which woul1 place on
them a flat ceiling of six per cent
OF the cost OF contract.
Undersecretary OF the Navy
James V. Forrestal and Undersec-
rotary OF War Robert P. Patterson
both termed this plan unworkable
and impracticsble. They suggest

Plumbing, Heating
Materials to
be Frozen

Washington. Mar. 21-INS- All
private and non defense residen-
tial and industrial construction
will be eliminated under a series
OF orders scheduled to be issued
by the War Production Board with
in a week or 10 days, 1t was learn
ed today.
w. W. Timmis, chief Of the WPB
plumbing and heating branch, dis
closed that the orders already have
been prepared and are in the pro-
cess of obtaining final clearance.
The plumbing and heating
branch, he said. has prepared or
ders to freeze" current stocks
and prevent the use Of manufac-
ture of plumbing and heating equip
ment except for defense housing
and defense plant construction.
Provision will be made. however,
for essential repairs.
The orders, Timmis said, are
aimed at conservation Of critical
metals and conversion of part OF
the 81 100000 plumbing and
heating industry to production Of
war materials.
At the same time, it was report
ed that a new construction division
will be set up within the WPB.
The new division, It was said. will
be headed by w. V. Kahler. pres
ent chief OF the construction branch
OF the production division. and
will embrace all construction sc-
tivities within the WPB.
The new unit repeatedly will ad-
minister the approximation pro-
gram and will direct future build
ing, including defense construc-
ton. through priority ratings.
Stocks of building supplies in non
defense areas, it was said, will be
whitfield down TO the bare amount
sufficient for repair and mainte-
nance and the excess drawn off
into defense areas.
1t was pointed out that elimin-
alton OF private and non-essential
construction will be required by
the tremendous expansion OF de-
tense building this year, to say
nothing OF the need for conserving
materials and converting industry.
All construction during 1871,
both public and private, totaled APP
proximately s14,00000000O while
defense housing and defense plant
construction this year is expected
to aggregate $13.00O,000,000
