Work-Profit
Admin stration Op-
posed to Profits Re-
strictions Indicated in
Congress.

Washington, April 10. - (AP)-
Amid strong signs of administration
opposition to any profits restrictions
at this time, the House naval COM
went to work today on pro-
jected legislation which tentatively
called not only for a limit on war
profits, but also for suspension Of
the 4G-hour week and curbs on la
Dor union activity for the duration.
While the administration attitude
was expected to influence the COM
mittee deliberations to some extent,
informed source said it was being
made pointedly plain at this time
primarily because Senate and House
conferences will make their initial
efforts in a few days to settle dll-
ferences between the two chambers
on a pending $4,000 ,000, 900 war
supplies Dill.
When the House passed this meas
ure it imposed a 6 per cent top ON
war profits. whereas the Senate
made profit limitation discretionary
and vested control with the Secre-
tary OF War, the secretary OF Navy
and chairman of the maritime COM
mission. From the first. key admll4-
stratiOn officials have indicated
their belief that the profits control
problem could be dealt with by taxa
lion.
Hence neither House non Senate
control versions were sad to be sat
isfactory to the administration, and
was understood that heavy pres
sure was being eXerted to have the
~,onferees strike both provisions from
he legislative drafts, c%ancellins all
profits co...rol clauses.

as being hazardous to pedestrians
became operative March "a.
Superintendent Berg said, how

ample time for motorists TO become
acquainted with new laws and regu-
