Showdown Seen Near On Bill for Union Financial Reports Vinson Measure to Be Considered by House Committee Next Week The issue over public control of union labor business actlvities was moving today toward a congres- sional showdown as a result of ap- proval of a control bill by a sub- commiitee of the House Judiciaryl Committee. The full .mdiclnryi Committee will consider the measure next week. A The bill, sponsored by Chairman | Vinson of the House Naval Affairs | Committee, would require labor or- ganizations and trade groups to report to the Secretary of Com- merce details of their financial af- fairs and statements of their pur- poses. The same requirement would be applied to business and trade as- | sociations, but the principal oppo- sition has come from labor unions. Mr. Vinson's committee will hold hearings Monday on the Smith-Vin- son bill, which Jimits war profits, suspends the 40-hour week and for- bids the closed shop during the war. The favorable report on the regis- tration bill was written by Repre- sentative Hobbs, Democrat, of Ala- | bama, chairman of Judiciary Sub- | committee No. 3, Chairman Sum- | ners of the full committee is ex- | pected to return Monday from a | ‘Texas vacation. The bill has been the subject of vigorous discussion ever since its introduction. Its far reach would in- | clude control of industrial associa- tions, business leagues, business as- sociations. chambers of commerce and boards of trade.

Part of the amazing success of the A. V. G. apparently is due to the hard work and careful attention to duty of every man on the team back of the planes. A day in the life of the average A. V.

The average A. V. G. man is a 6-footer, slim, sports a mustache, g has dark hair and is sunburned. The A. V.
