Washington, Apr. 4-AP-Sena.
tor Thomas (D-Okla) today claimed

considered recommendation for a
SlS.300, 600 900 wartime appropria-
ton measure which passed the
House carrying a rider limiting war
contract profits to a flat per cent
Thomas said his proposal was ap-
proved in principle by an Appro
priations Subcommittee and or
dered combined with a profit limit
provison by Senators O'Mahoney
(D-Wyo) and Overton (DLa), also
offered as a substitute for the flat
6 per cent limit voted by the House
The sliding scale provision would
allow a profit up to 10 per cent on
war contracts of 100000 and less.
and the profit ceiling would de-
crease on larger amounts until con
tracts above S50,000,000 would carry
a profit limit Of per cent on that
amount with per cent on all above
$4,000, 900.
Chairman Mcclellan (D-Tenn) OF

ings on the new appropriation and
profits dispute told reporters that
the latter quest on was undecided
