WAR ‘HANGOVER’
Labor, Bipartisan Senate Group Seek to Cushion Expected Slump.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 (U. P).
' | —Proposals to prepare now for the
economic “hangover” expected to follow America’s rearmament spree received organized labor and bipartisan Senate support today. Several Republican and Democratic Senators believed that plans should be made for the economic collapse which they fear is unavoidable unless some cushion is provided to break the shock when
and British-aid programs ends. These Senators want to set up a representative commission to study likely economic problems that will confront the nation when the war
‘ends, and to formulate ‘‘a compre-
hensive program for the full utilization of America’s resources of men and machines in maintaining and improving the economic wellbeing of all the people.”
F. D. R. Recognizes Need
President Roosevelt has recognized the need for such planning. In his budget message to Congress Wednesday, he reduced usual expenditures for public works and river and harbors improvement work, ‘explaining, “it is very wise for us to establish a reservoir of post-defense projects to help absorb the labor that later will be released by defense industry.” The first formal proposal for a planning commission came - from Senator Robert F. Wagner (D. N. Y.), who suggested a committee of 12—six appointed by the President, three Senators and three Representatives—to be called the “postemergency economic advisory commission.” Wagner Offers Bill
Rep. Jerry Voorhis (D. Cal) is preparing a measure to create a national council of unemployment and post-war . economic adjustments consisting of representatives of capital, labor, farmers, consumers, unemployed and other groups. Without discussing details of Senator Wagner’s proposal, embodied in a joint resolution introduced in the Senate yesterday, C. I. O. President Philip Murray said he believed such planning to be necessary and important, but he urged that provision be made for “proper labor representation.” Senator Robert A. Taft (R. 0.) said the nation may, face “the biggest depression we've ever had” after the war ends unless proper plans are made to absorb labor released from defense industry.

PROBES COMPLAINTS AGAINST PETITIONS
NEW YORK, Jan. 10 (U. P). — District Attorney Charles P. Sullivan of Queens County today investigated complaints by six persons that their names had been signed without authorization to a telegram
|sent to President Roosevelt by
Verne Marshall, chairman of the No
s. | Foreign War Committee, urging Mr. -|Roosevelt not to “lend or give away
the defenses of the nation.” Mr. Sullivan invited the complain-
“to determine if a crime has been committed,” He said his prelimininary information indicated there
:|might be basis for -a forgery charge.
Mr. Marshall, here for a radio de-
h hate on. war policy last night with
Dean Acheson of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, said he was just as anxious as his “sinister opposition” to determine whether any unauthorized names had been signed to the petition.
