The report was signed by 14 of the 27 members of the committee. Seve.i signed a dissenting view on ths "conclusions and statements regarding labor." Another member. Representative Joseph B. Shannon Mo filed a separate minority report demanding that all of the report dealing with labor be eliminated. The committee recommended: For industry "That some method of profit limitation should be adopted to eliminate profiteering on defense contracts to prevent excessive and unconscionable profits.

Such measures are owed to the public, which bears the enormous tax burden of defense costs." For Labor Unions "That suitable legislation requiring all labor unions to register with a suitable Government agency and to furnish pertinent information concerning their officers, members and financial eondition at periodic intervals."

Previously, the high priority group could go directly to a tire dealer with prooo of their defense rating and obtain supplies. The administrator added that another amendment allows owners of trucks and, in some cases, passenger cars to purchase six-ply and eight-ply tires. This was expressly forbidden in the first orders. "A third amendment," he said, "restricts the sale of obsolete tires to passenger cars only. The applicant need not be within the general eligibility classification but he must show that he requires the tire and must turn in an old tire in trade."
