Walsh Sees Prompt
Senate Approval Of
Curb on War Broker!
Naval Affairs Choirmon
To Call Up Bill for
Action Next Week
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Overwhelming Senate approval of
legislation to prevent "hy-by-night"
war contract agents from collecting
excessive fees was predicted today
by Chairman Walsh of the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee.
Under a bill sponsored jointly by
Senator Walsh and Chairman Vim
son of the House Naval Affairs
Committee, and already passed by
the House, manufacturers reprei
sentatives and commission agents
would find Federal agencies en-
powered to renegotiate any fees in
excess of SIS, 900 a year.
Would Be Subcontracts.
The measure, which Senator
Walsh said would be called up for
Senate action next week, would ac-
complish this by defining the agents
contracts on arrangements with
their principals as "subcontracts''-
amending existing statutes which
provide for renegotiation of any war
contract involving 100000 or more.
Excess profits are recovered by the
Government.
Senator Walsh, who said the bill
specifically exempted bona f1de off,
GERS, partners or full-time employees
who represent their companies in
soliciting Government business, cited
the hypothetical case of an agent
who might represent three COM
panies obtaining contracts totaling
$5,000,000. The agent might have
arrangements calling for a per
cent commission, allowing him a
total of $25O,0O0
Called before renegotiation
board, he could prove legitimate
Office, travel and other expenses for
the year of $4,000, leaving a profit,
before taxes, Of $3.50, 900.
Could Force Refund.
The board could decide, Senator
Walsh continued, that the reasonable
net value of his services was not
more than $4,000.
He could therefore be called upon
to refund $180,000 to the Govern
ment, and pay taxes upon the $5O,-
900 which he was permitted to re-
tain as profit" the Senator added.
Senator Walsh said the bill was
not designed to eliminate represen-
tation by manufacturers agents
many of whom perform services es-
sential to small manufacturers, but
to prevent their aggregate compen-
sation soaring to shocking and un-
considerable amounts"
Senator Bridges, Republican, OF
New Hampshire, issued a statement
meanwhile, charging that "only a
small percentage" of more than
$4,000, 100000 in excess profits recap
tured from manufacturers through
renegotiation has gone to the
Treasury as bona f1de savings to
the taxpayer"
Wants Real" Savings.
A Nationwide survey he con-
Quoted among 5000 manufacturers
holding war contracts showed that
a majority favor repeal OF the re-
negotiation law in the belief that
the excess profits tax would take
care of "recapturing" undue profits
Senator Bridges said.
IF the price renegotiation law Is
to continue, all funds should go di-
rectly back to the Treasury and
should not remain with contractin
agencies for responding" he said.
while American industry is glad
to forego excessive profits from war.
time contracts under the practice o1
price renegotiations, it wants to be
satisfied the alleged savings are rea,
and not imaginary" his statement
said.
