Senator ODaniel asserted the ma
tional administration had trans
ferred part of the Governments
taxing power ito a gang of labor
leader racketeers by supporting the

dent who set up the legal authority
for the racket" the Texas Sem
ator declared.
The group, which registered about
rs delegates from % States. planned
to adopt a platform today. Chair

War Contracts Bill
Outlook Blielhens

The outlook was bright today for
enactment of a war contract termi-
nation bill before Congress recesSes.
Conferees will meet this afternoon
or tomorrow on the amended ver-
sion OF the Senate bill, which passed
the House yesterday, 326 to 81.
The purpose Of the measure is to
expedite settlement of contracts
when factories are released from
war production, to speed up their
reconversion to other job-creating
work.
This measure represents only part
of the postwar legislative program
but other bills designed to follow
up contract termination will be
taken up later in the summer.
A last-minute effort in the House
to recommit the contract-termina-
ton bill for the purpose Of giving
the controller generals Office more
power over contract settlements,
failed, 189 to 20.

By the Associated Press,

A House Merchant Marine Sub
committee which for more than a
year has been studying the prob
lem Of plate fractures on welded
ships reported today that no def
mite solution of this problem has
been found"
The subcommittee headed by
Representative Jackson. Democrat,
CT Washington, in its report flied
with the full committee, said that
while steps are being taken by all
concerned to attempt to remedy the
existing difficulties. plate fractures
are still occurring"
The report emphasized, however
that while the failures resulting
from plate fractures have been nu-
merous, and in many cases serious
their number constitutes but a small
percentage of the total output OF
welded ships.
Loss of life has been limited to
II persons who are unaccounted for
since entering lifeboat.
1T should be emphasized" the re-
port added, that while there is some
evidence of defective material hav-
Ing been used in ship construction
all witnesses were of the opinion
that these fractures have not beer
the result Of defective steel or other
