Woodrum said Secretary Knox and
other navy department heads would be
heard first. He predicted the big bill,
raising the current defense outlay to
about $15,000,000,000. would be ready
for house debate in two weeks.
Within a few days, the treasury de-
partment will present its tentative
plan for an excess profits tax to help
pay the huge bill for the nation's
armament. Already in the legislative
mill were the Burke-Wadsworth com-
pulsory military training bill and a
proposal to permit the president to
mobilize the national guard in con-
tinental emergencies.
