f WASHINGTON, Sept. 4

has virtually completed his new anti-inflation program * which, barring last minute changes, is expected to call for appointment of an over-all economic czar to direct it. _Authoritative sources said only minor details: remain to be filled in before Mr. Roosevelt presents the program to

congress and to the nation on Appointment of an. economic czar to control farm prices, wages, wholesale and retail prices, salaries and other income would fulfill recent speculation that the president was giving such a plan thorough consideration in an effort to put “teeth” into the anti-inflation program and also to relieve himself -.of many domestic problems so that he could devote more time to the conduct of the war. The sources who revealed the present form of the program emphasized that between now and Monday there might be further changes—even major ones. They pointed out that organized laboy, for example, has been adamantly opposed to appointment of an over-all economic czar and could be expected to bring further pressure

Mr, Roosevelt outlined his program to labor and farm leaders at the White House yesterday. He did not, however, reveal to them the name of the man he is considering to direct vit. Governor Herbert Lehman of New York and Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas have been mentioned in the past as possibilities,

Four Blocs Represented In addition to the economié czar, the president’s program was reported to include: : 1. Creation of a four-party policy making board with representatives of government, industry,’ agriculture and labor who would advise the czar, 2. Administration of the czar’s decisions through existing government boards, agencies and depaftments. Mr. Roosevelt was said to be prepared to place the broad provisions of this program into effect without immediate congressional action under his broad emergency powers. Last week he had several conferences with Attorney General Francis Biddle and other legal advisers on that problem,

Personnel Causes Speculation The new policy making board’s government representatives are expected to include a fiscal official, eifher Treasury Secretary Henry rgenthau Jr. or Federal Reserve Board Chairman Marriner Eccles, and possibly War Production Board Chairman Donald Nelson, ‘Price Administrator Leon Henderson and Agriculture Secretary Claude Wickard. Although informed sources said the ‘final decision on the policy board's personnel has not been determined, industry representatives probably would include James Witherow, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, and Eric Johnson, president of the U. 8S. Chamber of Commerce. Outlines Broad Powers Representatives = of organized labor may be President William Green of the A. F. of L. and Presi-

dent Philip Murray of the C. I. O.|L

Both" were among those -who conferred with the president, yesterday. Before Mr. Roosevelt met Messrs. Murray and Green, a farm group called which included Mr. Wickard, . Edward A. O'Neal, president of the

American Farm Bureau federation;| gy

Albert Goss, master of the National Grange; H. E. Babcock, president of the National Council of Farmer Co-Operatives, and James G. Patton, president of the National Farmers union. . As outlined by the president in those conferences, the plan would delegate to the economic czar pow-

poses such a director would We shar-

czar would be accountable only to Mr. Roosevelt: He would consult with “the policy board,” but would have the power to make decisions and give the orders to the administrative agencies. “His powers would reach into every fleld of economic -and financial activity of the nation,” one source said. “Just how detailed the exercise of that power might he is a question not yet answered.” In general, the new plan would not eliminate any of the vast agencies already set up. It would just supersede them insofar as final authority is concerned. For example, the administration of price control would remain with the office of price administration. But the new czar would have the power to order OPA to change, add or eliminate price ceilings, ration new goods or fix rents in new areas. The war labor board would continue to handle labor disputes affecting war production, put under policies established by the czar. Control, however, would be extended to all general pay increases, whether voluntary or not. There is no comtrol now over voluntary raises. Mr. Roosevelt was said to have told the farm leaders that control of farm prices is imperative to prevent a continued rise in the cost of living. The existing price act prohibits establishment of ceilings on the price of any farm product until it is 110 per cent of parity. The average farm price in August was 107 per cent of parity.

INDIANA-GOLUMBIA ROUTE IS CHANGED

Indianapolis Railways today announced a new downtown route, effective next Tuesday, for the Indiana and Columbia ’trackless trolley lines, operated jointly as a crosstown service. The two lines will run on Ohio st., instead of Maryland st. in the downtown area. Westbound Columbia cars - will operate southwest on Massachusetts to Ohio, west on Ohio to Indiana and northwest on Indiana over the regular route. Eastbound Indiana cars will go southeast on Indiana to Capitol, Ohio, east on Ohio to Massachusetts and then ortheast over the regular route. Approved by the city works board, the changes were made in response to petitions by patrons and also as a tire wear and traffic reduction measure. Officials said epatroms would be saved several minutes riding time.
