Committee Expected
To Urge Revamping
|!0f Reneeotiation Act

Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee will
meet with his committee in execu-
tive session today to discuss the re-
nogation law on which public hear
ings have been concluded.
The committee appears definitely
inclined toward retention of the law
for recapt,lre Of excessive profits
In war contracts, despite numerous
petitions for its repeal.
Both Mr.. Doughton and Repre-
sentative Knutson, Republican. of
Minnesota expressed the view that
Congress would keep the law, after
considering some important modifi-
| cations.
The United States Chamber of
Commerce. the National Association
of Manufacturers and other repre-
sentatives of industry proposed to
the committee that the statute be
suspended or repealed, and that any
undue profits in war contracts be
recovered by the Government
through the tax law on excess
profits.
Some members said 1t appeared
ma jority OF the committee would
favor amendments providing for
court appeals from decisions of re-
negotiation boards, raising the limit
Of contracts subject to renegotiation
from $780, 900 to $500, 900 year, ex-
empting standard commercial prod
ucts and having one board instead
of six pass on renegotiation cases.
In addition. these members be-
lieved the committee might recon-
mend some plan for compensating
contractors who, in good faith, lose
money through war contracts.
Mr.. Knutson expressed the view
that renegotiation should take place
after payment Of taxes by the con-
tractors.
