“PRICE CONTROL

APPEAL BY WAR

* Production Clamp in Case of Conflict.

By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, May 28-The Stettinius War Resources Board report, which the President suppressed, recommended appointment of two virtual dictators to control Of course they were not called “dictators.” These civilian chiefs would operate during miiitary emergency. They would be independent not only of the Army and Navy, but also of the regular Government departments and Cabinet officers. They would Bé subject-only to. the President. Their respective boards youd be advisory and without

powe The Stettinius proposal for an industrial production chief was somewhat similar to the official industrial mobilization plan, as revised last year by the Secretary of Navy and Assistant Secretary of War.

Prices Got Out of Hand

But the Stettinius report put equal emphasis on price control. In the last war prices got out of hand and the cost-of-living became a major problem. Increased production with price stability and labor-consumer protection is .the goal. The Roosevelt method, as so far applied to the so-called . pre-war emergency, is basically the opposite of the Stettinius {Board recommendations and of the official industrial mobilization plan. Both of the

‘latter would set up emergency con-

trol outside the regular governmental machinery. But. the President’s method is merely to add powerless advisers to the .existing

| Federal agencies, which retain con-

trol. In either case, of course, ultimate power would reside in the President. But by his present method he can keep closer control of the step-by-step process through a secretary, such as Mr. Morgenthau as coordinator, than he could by turning the job over to a strong man outside his Cabinet circle.

Opposed Board Report

It is true that the New Deal palace guard opposed the Stettinius Board and its report. But the companion story, that Assistant Secretary of War Johnson, rather than the President, was “to blame” for the Board is not true apparently. The President himself co-operated with the Board, whose report he has now disregarded and suppressed. This has angered many members of Congress, particularly the Vandenberg group, who say that the report should have been made public. or given to the military committees of the House and Senate. They argue. that: the recommendations of such distinguished expegts at least are worth consideration if not complete acceptance. In addition to Edward R. Stettinius Jr, U. 8S. Steel chairman, the Board included: President. Karl Compton of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, President Walter T. Gifford of American Telephone and Telegraph, Chairman Robert © E. Wood of Sears Roebuck, President Harold G. Moulton of Brookings Institution, John L. Pratt of General Motors and John M. Hancock of Lehman Brds., bankers.

" Discreet on Legal Authority

The Board, it 1s understood, was very- discreet regarding the two large controversial issues of military policy and legal authority. Nothing in its operation or recommended plan involved civilian interference with the generals and admirals

: In purely military matters.

-. The idea was that the military chiefs would decide the materials needed, and the proposed civilian production chief would get it for them promptly, while the civilian chief would see that this did not wreck national stability. Likewise, the Stettidius report is said to have evaded the question whether the President now has power to carry out its recommendations.

’ J Free' Test Is pe ’ ° . A'Fine' Affair ROCHESTER, Ind, May 28 (U. P.).—~When Michael Birner, 32, of Logansport, was taken to the Fulton County Jail “on suspicion of drunken driving, he was willing to take any tests police could suggest—so long as they didn’t cost any money, Officers asked whether he would sibmit to a drunkometer test. ‘Does it cost anything?” Birner asked. Told that it didn’t, he

agreed to submit. The test showed a reading of

' 2.25, well over the 1.5 approved

by the State Legislature and the Supreme Cpurt as justifying conviction for drunkenness. Birner was fined $25 and costs in CircuitgCourt and his driver's license wa$ suspended*for a year.

U.S. OFFICE TO STAY HERE; LUDLOW SAYS ||

Times Special WASHINGTON, May 28. — Rep. Louis Ludlow. (D. "Ind.) reported today that he has been assured by Treasury officials that the Indiana Procurement division headquarters will not be consolidated with Chicago, leaving only a skeleton staff in Indianapolis. A Treasury plan calling for such consolidation would have reduced the Indianapolis staff from 48 to five, Rep. Ludlow said. The move has been vigorously opposed by the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. “I was told that the matter will be dropped for the present and if revived in the future I have been promised a hearing before Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, » Rep. Ludlow explained. “Such ga hearing surely would convince the Treasury chief of the necessity of retaining the full staff in Indianapolis, but I do not think the matter ever will be revived.”
