In mid-December two-fisted Joe Curran, head of the unruly Mari- time Union, together with John Green, head of the CIO’s shipyard workers, told Murray he should qualify his support shall Plan by stipulating that American seamen should carry Marshall Plan goods in American ships at American pay scales. They pointed out that a large part of the steel we are sending to Europe is going into ships while our own shipyards are idle, and that more than 1400 merchant ships have been turned over to European na- tions during the past year while there is unemployment among the American seamen. Indignant, Murray agreed.

The Democrats, he said, | voted to oppose the bill in a body( their strategy, he predicted, would be to move for recommittal, then fight for easing the reductions in each tax bracket. Hal Holmes of Washington re- ported that “Muley Bob” Dough- ten of North Carolina, though a Democrat, was in favor of serap- ping ‘the President’s plan for '$40 exemption-reductions. Daniel Reed of New York spoke for the Ways and Means Commit- tee. The tax bill, he said, was the result of meticulous study and research. Crawford butted in and wanted to know whether there would be encugh money to go around for both the tax reductions and the Marshall Plan. Reed replied in the affirmative, but said the Marshall Plan would be scaled down anyway. “I don’t want to be pledged to tax reduction if it means wreck- ing the Marshall Plan,” broke in Minnesota’s George MacKinnon.
