of low-cost basic consumer items instead of devoting most of their output to higher-priced lines under far-reaching new policy laid down yesterday by Economic Stabilization
"| Director Fred M. Vinson.
The immediate effect of Vinson's policy is expected to be the return of low-priced women's dreses, children's and infants’ clothing and and women's underwear which have virtually disappeared from the market during the past months. Other types of civilian goods will be affected as materials and manpower become available. Vinson instructed the war production board and the office of price administration to act jointly to improve the output of essential utilitarain goods “for the greatest number of consumers.” The WPB was given responsibility for initiating plans and programs to assure adequate production and the {OPA was given the power to boost price ceilings when the production agency says it is necessary to carry out its plans. Under this policy, ‘OPA can require manufacturers with “excepttonally high” profits to produce ‘needed consumer goods and sell them at cost. Where producers’ current profits are no more than double what they were during a base period from 1936 to 1939, OPA lean increase the price of the item

a concentration of opposition to its directives against work discrimina~tions because of color or race, © The committee.yesterday received a direct refusal from 16 railroads and terminal companies, operating in solthern states, to heed the committee’s orders, which they declared violated the collective bargaining procedures set up by the rallway labor act, and had no adequate authority back of them. The committee charged discrimination chiefly in the matter of promotions, : Today, the committee entered a fresh controversy when it ordered the big Boilermakers’ union of the Americation Federation of Labor to cease discriminations against Ne-
Would Test Authority
The congressional inquiry, it was learned, has been suggested by some of the unions in the controversy. It would be based on the question of how much- authority the committee has, and where it got it. Committee spokesmen said there had been no test of its authority because there has been no deflance in any important case. If necessary, it was said, non-compliance cases would be sent to the White House, for handling under the President's war powers. In- non-compliance cases from the war labor board the President has a formula of seizing the facilities of the companies, but he has never proceeded against labor unions, which are involved in all important cases of the fair employment practices committee. The railroad case, which has been in the making for 18 months, involves seven railway unions and 22 railroad companies. The unions, including the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, have ignored the committee from the beginning. Shipyards Involved The defying railroads—including the Southern, Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard, Chesapeake & Ohio, Norfolk & Western and Illinois Central —declared that their employment relations “are governed by collective bargaining agreements reached under the controlling procedures of’

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13 (U, P.. ~The securities and exchange commission today approved the plan of Public Service Co. of Indiana, Inc, to purchase the entire capital stock of Brookville( Ind.) Electric Co, for $160,000 cash. Public Service, a subsidiary of Hugh M. Morris, trustee of the estate of Midland United Co. will purchase the stock, consisting of 300 shares of $50 par value common stock, and 50 shares of $100 par value preferred stock, from Engineers, Inc. Brookville will dissolve by transferring all its properties and rights to Public Service who in turn’ will assume all the outstanding debts of Brookville and will surrender all of Brookville’s ‘ outstanding stock for cancellation. ‘ The commission's approval of the plan was granted subject to the condition that Public Service credit an amount, equal to the difference between the price paid for the stocks and their underlying book value, to a “reserve for possible adjustment of utility plant” or a de-

With great respect, the undersigned railroads submit that your committee was and is wholly without constitutional and legal jurisdiction and power.” The - boilermakers’ case involves, in addition to the union, five West Coast shipbuilding companies which were directed to reinstate all Negro workers discharged because of their refusal to pay dues, under the closed-shop plan, to the auxiliary bollermaker unions that were set up for them. The auxiliaries have been labeled “Jim Crow unions” by their critics. The companies also were ordered to cease discharging or refusing to hire Negroes solely because they had failed to obtain clearance from the unions. The committee said it had found “the auxiliaries are created only for Negro workers and are placed directly under control of the white (regular) lodge for the area. Auxiliary members have no vote or voice in conduct of the union's affairs and must accept as their business agent the business agent of the supervising lodge in whose election the auxiliaries have no part.”

Newsreels of the Tarawa landings, he said, indicated that the boats had been taken into shore slowly and many had been halted by surrounding reefs forcing landing parties to wade distances through neck-high water and murderous machine-gun fire, “We simulate reefs like the newsreels showed in our own test courses,” Higgins stated, “and we've never knocked the bottom out of a boat yet. : “Even if a boat had been stove in,” he added, “the men would still be that much closer to shore and would have had much less fire to wade through.”
