SUGGESTS CURB FOR INFLATION

julian Goldman Urges Use of Scrip in Compulsory | Savings Plan.

A compulsory savings plan to eR; 30 billion dollars off the nation’s | spending power and help the ‘government's war effort by curbing inflation, was advocated here today by Julian Goldman, chairman of | the National Committee to Keep | Prices Down. Unless inflation and its evils are| |avoided, “we shall be reduced to| |economic slavery when inflation the United States,” Mr.

last year. | Explains Use of Scrip

Under his plan to check inflation, a part of wages would be paid in| non-interest bearing scrip, which | could be obtained from the treasury for cash. “This scrip would be good for the purchase of defense bonds, savings. stamps. additional social insurance, new private insurance, new annui-| ties, etc,” Mr. Goldman explained. | There would be a board of appeals, | he said, to adjust cases in which en- | forced savings would entail below-| minimum standards of living. Mr. Goldman said that such a plan, besides helping the people, | would “make it unnecessary for our {government to go around. hat in| ‘hand, begging. pleading with people to buy a few savings bonds and| stamps. { Deplores Hoarding

“With the country spending 150 million dollars a day for emergency | purposes, it can’t possibly finance [our war effort in this manner’ Mr. Goldman, known as an econ-| | mist, lecturer and author as well | as a businessman, also warned that] hoarding was being practiced by both consumers and retailers and] manufacturers. “It would amaze vou,” he said. “to know how many retailers them-| {selves are hoarding, how many have | {rented warehouses and have ac-| ‘cumulated large stocks of goods, | creating serious shortages of mer-| chandise. because they are trying to beat price rises and protect their own interests.

Attacks Selfishness

“Given the opportunity, there are always some people who will trade on patriotism, on misery, even on death to make a dollar.” He said he knew of instances “where an item that sold for $3 retail. and when the wholesale cost of the item was only increased 12': cents, the retail selling price was] promptly jacked to $3.50. “As things are.” he warned. “we are in imminent danger of having as our national epitaph the tragic words ‘too little and too late.”

“You are indeed a soldier of production. The iron you made wi'l be turned into tanks and guns and shells and ships to knock out enemies Leep up vour great work.” “Hitler bomb hell out of Poland —me work like hell to even with iim.” Ewancsik promised.

HIT-STOP-RUN TRUCK BLAMED

Driver Hesitates, Goes on After Leaving Aged Pedestrian Hurt.

An aged man today explained to policemen how he was injured last night by a hit-stop-and-run truck. The accident occurred at 35th st. and Keystone ave, resulting in a deep scalp wound for George M. Brown, 64, of 3609 Keystone ave. The truck stopped. A Negro girl jumped out and ran to the spot where Mr. Brown lay in the street.

“Is he hurt?” yelled a man in the truck. The girl screamed “yes” and ran back to the truck. The truck driver drove away. Mr. Brown was taken to Methodist hospital.

Coy Cautious on Fighting Names

WASHINGTON, March 26. — Wayne Coy, liaison officer of the office of emergency management, declared today that it isn’t easy to find “fitting, fighting names” for government groups. Rep. John M. Vorys (R., 0.) has written to Mr. Coy suggesting that the phone exchange now called “national defense commis= sion.” through which ' all war agencies may be reached, be renamed ‘war work.” “We are giving some considera= tion to such matters,” Mr. Coy explained. “But we don't want to strike a snag. For instance, someone suggested that in order to distinguish between the war department and these civilian groups we should take the name ‘civil war agencies.” There would be too much chance for our Washington wags to exercise their wits on such a name.”
