quo for 30 days during a defense
strike was approved today by the :
house naval committee. ,
The bill would authorize the
president, after the mediation
board had taken jurisdiction of
a labor dispute in a defense in
dustry to:
1. Require one or more per
sons to "refrain or cease and de
sist from calling or assisting in
:inv manner" such a strike.
2. Require the employer to:
"refrain or cease and desist from
practices" which would change
his labor relations during the period.
I'his bill, reportedly agreed to
by a vole of 11 to 8, was a sub
stitute for legislation by Chair
man Vinson (D., Ga.), to require
a 30-day cooling off period be
fore a defense strike could be
gin. Vinson said he hoped to
obtain early house action on his
new proposal.
The measure would empower
the president to requisition mili
tary or naval equipment, machine ;
tools, manufacturing equipment,
patents and plans "to promote
the national defense and to over
come shortages."
The bill provides the president
may sell any government requi
sitioned plant to private inter-1
ests whenever the war or navy
departments find that such dis-1
position would be necessary to I
continue production. Undersee-!
rotary of War Patterson estlmat-;
ed that on the basis of present j
product inn it would be 13 months
before there was an adequate
supply of machine tools. He said i
the production of bombing
planes alone would "choke" the
present output of tools. !
Courthouse Lawn to Get
Improved Landscaping
Faced with the problem of eith
er trimming or thinning out
trees on the courthouse lawn, the

mittee composed of C. E. Mover,
nurseryman: J. Roland Parker,
county agent, and Mrs. G. V.
Wlmberly, garden expert, in
working out a program of land
scaping. County Judge D. N. Busenbark
reported that overcrowding of
trees, particularly on t:ie east
side of the square, is resulting in
some damage. As members of the
court admit a lack of expert
knolwedge, they will request the
members of the committee nam
ed by the court to meet at a fu
ture date and to study conditions
and make recommendations
which the court will execute. ,
It also Is planned to nsk the
committee to plan future plant
