—War Profiteering, No. 4 BARUCH PLAN LIKELY TO BE BOARDS CHOICE Price-Freezing Proposal Is Favored by Most of Commissioners. By RUTH FINNEY Timet Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec, 3.—ls the war policies commission makes any recommendation when it reports to congress next month, for regulation supplementing the national defense act, the Bernard Baruch plan, submitted to the commission last spring, probably will form the basis of It. The principal feature of this plan calls for setting aside the law of supply and demand, and freezing the whole price structure as it existed at some day shortly before war was declared. Baruch recommended legislation which would empower the President to thus freeze prices, and would make it unlawful to buy or sell, or to contract for anything at a different price. He would give the President power, also, to adjust prices up or down during the war, as he saw fit. He recommended also a statute giving the President wide powers to commandeer any supplies or manufacturing facilities. Would Be Constant Warning “The very existence of such a law would be constant warning that never again in America will any man make as much profit in war as he can make in peace,’’ Baruch said. For control of wartime industrial activities, Baruch would establish much the same organization that operated during the World war. He himself was chairman of the war industries board. At least one member of the commission will oppose the plan, however. Representative Ross A. Collins in a recent speech declared: “If munition makers really understood Baruch’s plan, it would be a financial incentive for them to drag us into another war because they would have the practical assurance that labor costs would remain the same and prices of products they purchase would remain the same, while they in turn would receive the same 'prices they received on .the designated day, all of which would give them unheard of war profits. Warns of Larger Profits “The plan contemplates the same organization that existed during the latter part of the war,” said Collins. “The report of congressional committees that investigated war profits declared that in every purchasing branch of the government many of the men that made the purchases actually were connected with the industries from which they bought. “If this statement is true, then these men would recommend the freezing of prices they wanted unfrozen . . . and it is evident to my mind that the scheme would in the end mean larger profits than were made in the last war.” Meanwhile, the war department has its own thoroughly prepared plan for industrial, as well as military, control in event of war. The national defense act of 1920 provided for appointment of an assistant war secretary, whose duty it is to arrange in detail for procurement of army munitions and supplies and to develop broad plans for mobilization of industry to meet the country’s needs in war. Baruch, Hurley Agree At the commission hearings Frederick H. Payne, assistant secretary, presented a seventy-nine-page plan, calling for establishment of an industrial priority list, commandeering, and for price control. To effect this latter the plan proposes: “To stabilize prices so as to prevent rapid fluctuations which encourage speculation. “To discourage hoarding. “To synchronize price changes

WHITESIDE WILL BE HERE ON FRIDAY ‘Surf’ Will Bring Franc Hale and William Desmond in Two Important Roles to English’s for Two Days. WALKER WHITESIDE has surrounded himself with a cast of players in “Surf” who are well known. Miss Franc Hale, who created the character of Eileen Kell in America, has been the star’s leading lady for five years, and has appeared with him in “The Hindu,” “The Arabian,” “Sakura,” “The Chinese Bungalow,” ‘The Royal Box” and ‘Typhoon.” William Desmond, stage and screen star, enacts the role of Captain Kell in “Surf,” and Barrie O'Daniels will appear as Kingsley, the absconding castaway, whose boat is wrecked on the rocks which form the foundation of the lighthouse, in which the story of the play is un-

folded. Other characters in “Surf” are Rangei, a native Maori servant, and the government inspector, who 1s impersonated by Lee C. Millar, who is also Whiteside’s general stage director. Walker Whiteside has elected to create the character of Harry Cass, the rough and ready seaman, who domineers over the other occupants of the lighthouse. With an Irish brogue, and a way with women, Harry Cass is a dashing figure of a man—a. man’s man despite his wicked words and his unmoral actions. Walker Whiteside and his- company will appear at English’s Friday night and Saturday matinee and night. nan Indianapolis theaters today offer: Charlie Davis at the Indiana, Larry Rich at the Lyric, “Rich Man’s Folly” at the Ohio, “Touchdown” at the Circle, “The Champ” at the Palace, “Over the Hill” at the Apollo, and Rafael Sabatini at English’s. n tt n Neighborhood houses tonight offer: “Skyline” at the Dream, “The Cisco Kid” at the Irving, “Daddy Long Legs” at the Roosevelt, “Holy Terror” at the Stratford, “Young as You reel” at the Hamilton, “Dirigible” at the Emerson, “Son of India” at the Mecca, “Party Hus-, band” at the Orpheum, “Sidewalks of New York” at the Belmont, “Wicked” at the Fountain Square, “Rebound" at the Granada, “The Last Flight” at the Tacoma, “Get Rich Quick Wallingford” at the Garfield, “Road to Singapore” at the Rivoli, and “Sidewalks of New York” at the Tuxedo.

CITY ENGINEER URGES BOILER INSPECTIONS Warning Is Issued After Probe of Explosion Fatal to Custodian. Warning that all boilers of doubtful safety should be inspected immediately was issued today by George R. Popp Jr., city combustion engineer, today after probing an explosion that killed a custodian and injured a woman critically early Wednesday. After inspecting wreckage at the Avalon apartments, 244 East street, Popp advanced two possible theories for the accident that killed John Tiller, Negro, 55, of 1004 Garfield place, custodian. “The blast would not have happened, I believe, if that boiler had had a safety valve operating properly. It also is possible that the boiler was empty of water, due to a defective water feed,” Popp said. Examination of the debris was difficult because the force of the blast had wrecked the boiler room so completely. and to prevent unequal effects and unfair advantages. Discussing these respective plans, War Secretary Patrick Hurley and Baruch agreed that the central industrial agency, in time of war, should not be under the military arm of the government. Baruch suggested, however, that those who are going to do the work should be “atmosphered,” brought into contact with the military every year or so. The war policies commission report must be sent to congress not later than Dec. 7. THE END.
