An outbreak of war would bring

Of the National Security Resources
Board.
The proposed National War

Truman's desk, not yet approved by
him or by the seven cabinet mem

nowhere near action by Congress.
A board spokesman said draft
may be made public about January
15-perhaps in special message
by Mr.. Truman to Congress. The
resources board staff expects by then
to have detailed operating plans
ready for each Of the 20 or so broad
economic powers in the proposed
law.
"Very rigid" controls over man
power would be included, it was
said. An excess profits tax, priori-
ties, plant seizure powers, ban
against boarding and full rationing
authority are planned.
These standby powers would be
vested in the President. He could
invoke them at once If the country
were attacked, by declaring a state
of hostilities.

of a cold war getting hotter-it
would be up to Congress to declare

An agency similar to the Office OF

would be created as the supreme

would be separate agencies to man

and industrial mobilization.
