Bill Framed 10 Ease
Shock OF Cancellation
Of War Contracts
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Legislation to cushion the effects
OF sudden cancellation of billions of
dollars in war contracts is proposed
by Chairman Murray of the Senate
Small Business Committee.
Senator Murray announced the
drafting of bill for consideration
next fall calling for advance pay
ments to contractors for costs in
Cured where orders are terminated
either because of shifting military
needs or sudden cessation of hos
tilities.
He asserted that from so to Is
billion dollars Of contracts would be
terminated after the war, and
shifting military requirements will
undoubtedly call for a great volume
OF contract terminations during the
course of the war"
The legislation would call for ad-
vance payments of at least IS per
cent of the amount certified by con-
tractors or subcontractors within 80
days after certification 1t also
would provide:
l. authority 1Or procurement
agencies to make direct loans, or
provide loan guarantees through
private banks, against terminated
contracts.
2. The right of a contractor or
subcontractor to sue the Govern
ment if he does not receive the min
lmum amount within the stipulated
period
3. Establishment of uniform con-
tract termination policies by the
chairman of the War Production
Board.
Senator Murray said the War De-
partment alone has already ter
minated 1854 contracts, 2,300 Of
which are still unsettled.

of the hypnotizing melody, the un-

flowing life as Argentinita and her

of motion through the changeless
music is thrilling in its beauty. The
artists were greeted with a storm
of applause at its conclusion and
bouquets of flowers were presented
to Argentina and her sister at
the last recall.
