RAW NS

By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Staff Coirespondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 1—John Van Ginhoven, a little guy with larngitis, croaked his story into a senatorial microphone. . Chairman . James Mead of the war investigating committee tossed him a cough drop, but it didn’t seem to help. John's voice grew weaker. Everybody in the caucus room strained to hear him, including Jacob Goldberg, a New York auctioneer whose face became scarlet and stayed that color the rest of the afternoon. “I'll simply introduce John, a $5600-a-year engineer government's Defense Plant Corp., and let him tell his tale here in his own words. He'd gone to Cleveland, O., to look over a supply of surplus building materials that the DPC was getting ready to sell, and there he met Goldberg and a Mr. Moss. ' From now on, John does the talking.

“I WENT upstairs in the Hotel Clevelander to see Jake Goldberg and this Mr. Moss. On the dresser were two bottles, one of liquor. The other might have been gin“gerale. (Chairman Mead asked if there was any ice) “There also was a pitcher of ice. Yes, I ‘had something to drink. I had gingerale. We had a very pleasant conversation. Goldberg said our men were doing a marvelous job. Then he told how he had been a liquidator for years; ‘how, when nobody else could sell bugles after the last war, he had advertised them in Boy Scout

“magazines and sold them all.

“SANDWICHES were brought up, and coffee. Goldberg sent a suit of clothes down to be pressed, and we got to talking about families and children. Goldberg said the war soon would be over, and there would be big money for- engineers like me. I said I hoped so, because I wanted to

Norge President Cites Case, Of Stove Concerns. Hit By Bowles.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1 (U. P). Howard E. Blood, president of the Norge division of Borg-Warner Co ce of price administration as a “highly skilled propaganda machine” whose facilities for publicity on the radio and in the press caused businessmen “to feel helpless and stand mute.” Speaking... at —a- meeting - of the American Management association finance conference here, Blood pleaded the cause of the businessman “who is called an inflationist and a profiteer whenever he dares raise his voice in protest against OPA’s publicly announced profit squeezing intentions.” Conceding that the OPA rendered businessmen a service by. preventing runaway price inflation, he went on to explain that problems of reconversion and postwar employment in manufacturing and distribution will be on the shoulders of businessmen who cannot provide for employment if profit ratios are squeezed to the extent threatened by the OPA.”

‘Don’t Consult’ “When any industry looks ahead to the days of reconversion and, in

dismay, contemplates the effects of such a profit pinching policy on its ability to do its part in re-employ-ment and in getting the producing and distributing machine going at the tremendously increased rate necessary to provide all the needed jobs and then finds' the powerful price control bureau deaf to the economic facts what can industry “OPA is supposed to work out some of these problems in consultation with industry. Do they do it? No.” Blood described the predicament of .a few small stove manufacturers

to pay wartime wages and increased material prices. and simultaneously sell their goods under OPA policies.’ He told how these men banded together and decided the public and congress should know something. of their plight.

Defends Economists

“When Mr. Bowles (Chester Bowles, OPA director) heard what these people were going to do, he spoke on the radio. He said: ‘Recently a pressure group scheme was brought to my attention which illustrates vividly some of our problems in holding the line against inflationary price increases. These minority groups of inflationists and profifeers used: every possible method to influence public and congressional opinion to get higher prices

Charging that Bowles had no basis for his charges, Blood urged | that “some sense enter into this | question of post-war prices of durable consumer goods and other goods and. other goods similarly mishandled by the OPA" He suggested that price ceilings be held on scarce goods at a point which would absorb the unavoidable increases in cost and prevent the inflation of profit margins and still} not eliminate or substantially reduce profit margins. “Under such a general policy, business could go! ahead with that confidence which must be created if we are to see the bold and swift reconversion we all want,” he said. 3 Blood also urged that “the government should not bé permitted to] extend discriminatory or socialistic} favors to any particular types of business and that hte co-operatives be made to stand on the same come petitive basis as other forms of manufacturing and distribution.” ! “For co-ops to get a large part of | their capital from-excessively long| government loans at practically no| interest puts government capital] into competition with private busi! ness.
