that only an agreement by unions
to waive overtime pay for a 48-hour

swerve them from efforts to force

Texas paved the way for such a
showdown by inviting those of
different mind to argue their case
If he is successful in bringing before
the Senate his bin to permit the
Government to take over strike
bound war plants, freezing working
conditions and labor relations in
such plants.
Senator Connally predicted q ma

consider his measure when the ques-
ton comes up next Monday.

want a showdown, this Is the time
to get it." he said. IF we get the
bill up, then we can thresh out the

Senator Lee, Democrat, Of Okla

he would welcome settlement Of the
issue through voluntary agreement
between labor and management. He
said, 1however, that nothing short of
such an accomplishment would
satisfy him and others of like views.

Administration leaders have been
reported seeking such an agreement
and Senator Maloney, Democrat, of
Connecticut predicted that an un-
derstanding might be reached this

Meanwhile, the House Judiciary
Committee studied piece Of labor
