President 0fdersNav,
To Seize 5 Machine
Shops in California
Acts to End Strike
By Skilled Workers
At San Francisco
By the Associated Press.


President Roosevelt directed
Secretary Of the Navy Forrestal
today to take over nominal con-
troll Of five machine shops in San
Francisco, where an AFL ma
chinists' lodge has defied War
Labor Board orders for several
months.
The union leadership had refused
to lift ban on overtime and Sun
day work. WLB officials have termed
this a limited strike" because the
work week was limited by the union
to 48 hours.
The union ban covered 104 shops.
WLB Chairman William H. Davis
told Mr.. Roosevelt in a letter. how
ever, that the five companies ord
cred taken over employ the greatest
number of machinists and have been
affected most by the refusal of
Lodge 68 to withdraw the overtime
ban. The members of the board are
hopeful that the seizure of those
five plants will result in the removal
of the ban
Government seizure automatically
places in operation the criminal
provision of the War Labor Disputes
Act. This will permit the Govern
ment to prosecute criminally any
individual believed to be encourag-
ing the interruption of war produc-

The Executive order directed that
the Secretary of the Navy shall
permit the management of the
plants and facilities taken under the
provisions of this order to continue
with their managerial functions to
the maximum degree possible, con-
Slstent with the aims of this order ;
The plants ordered seized include

any individual to work a longer

Declares Federal Aid
Only Means Of Avertine
Worse Conditions Here
BY DON S. WARREN.

Strongly urging approval of
the plan for construction of a
great Washington hospital CEN
ter, to be built with Federal
funds, but operated privately on
a self-sustaining basis, Chair
man Charles D. Drayton of the
Hospital Presidents Association
today declared the hospital Sit
uation inevitably must grow
worse rather than better unless
Federal aid is provided"
Mr.. Drayton recalled before the
Tydings Senate subcommittee today
that as a result of efforts to meet
the emergency situation two years
ago, private hospitals sought Lam
ham Act funds for expansion.
Meanwhile, under pressure from
Federal hospital consultants, they
had to install additional beds in al
ready crowded quarters to take care
of patients.
To emphasize the present over
crowded plight of the institutions.
Mr.. Drayton revealed today that
these additional beds later had to be
removed under orders from the
United States Children's Bureau
and the District Fire Department.

the board of Childrens Hospital

Lack of far-sighted scientific
planning, obsolescence, the tremen-
dous growth in population in the
metropolitan area and the financial
inability of private hospitals to keep
pace with the population demands
were cited by Mr.. Drayton as rea-
sons for the present lack of ade-
quate facilities. He described them
as not only inadequate, but in the
main obsolete"

Speeds Up
Reconversion Work
In Move for Recess
Hopes to Get Bill Out
Of Way in Time for
Vacation Before Election

By the Associated Press.
Four congressional Committees
hammered away today at a
three-point reconversion pro-
gram, hopeful of getting it out
of the way in time to permit a
pre- election recess starting about
September /.
Should bills dealing with surplus
property, unemployment and de-
mobilization machinery be disposed
OF within the next two weeks, lead
ers said, there would be no reason
why Congress could not take a Sec
ond vacation. The legislators con-
Cluded a five-week recess August /.
Fail to Reach Agreement.
The Rules Committee failed to
reach an agreement on the surplus
property measure at its morning
session and met again this after
noon, with indications it would ap-
prove procedure allowing debate to
start tomorrow and permitting
amendents to be offered freely from
the floor
Representative Halleck, Republi-
can, of Indiana, a Rules Committee
member, complained that the legis-
lation as drafted might permit
spectators to buy up Surpluses at
cut-rate prices to the detriment of
established distribution channels.
Mr.. Hallack also suggested that the
Advisory Board to consult with the
surplus property administrator
should include representatives of
business.
Chairman Patman of the House
Small Business Committee said he
would seek to amend the bill on the
floor to provide for distribution of
surpluses not by single adminis-
traitor but by board represent
ing the Government, taxpayers and
large and small business.
Two Days of Debate Proposed.
The Expenditures Committee,
headed by Representative Manasco,
Democrat, of Alabama, has ap-
proved bill following the prin-
ciples recommended by the Post
war Committee. Mr.. Manasco said
he would asked the Rules Com
mittee to order two days of general
debate. tomorrow and Wednesday
followed by passage expected Thurs
day. Except for relatively minor
details, the legislation has the back
ing both Of House Democrats and
Republicans.
A Postwar Economic Planning
Subcommittee headed by Repre-
sentative Cooper, Democrat, of Ten
nessee turned to the full committee
today with bill setting up an office
to supervise the demobilization pro-
gram. Mr.. Cooper said the pro-
posal agreed on by his group fol-
lows generally the lines of a de-
mobilization section written by the
Senate into the unemployment
compensation bill of Senator George,
Democrat, of Georgia, which it
passed last week.
Still to be decided by the House
leadership was whether to divorce
the demobilization section from the
George bill and consider it as a
separate measure.
Despite House determination to
give priority to its own surplus
property measure, a Senate Military
Affairs Subcommittee went ahead
with hearings on a similar bill. The
House bill is not expected to reach
the Senate before Friday.
