CAPEHART ACCUSES OPA OF ‘BUNGLING’

. Times Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—Confusion in OPA pricing policies is one of the basic causes of the present epidemic of strikes, Senator Homer E Capehart (R. Ind.) declared in addressing the senate. He cited a measure he and Sen-

ator Millard E. Tydings (D. Md) co-authored . last summer which would have established a senate OPA study committee. Had it been

passed the confusion and resulting] pow

chaos might have been eliminated, Senator Capehart said.

putting ceiling prices on the 1946 crop,” Senator Capehart said. “We would have the facts to fight with had my resolution to study OPA been adopted. It still is not too late, provided Senator Robert F. Wagner (D, N, Y.) will give us hearings before his banking and currency committee. He has been sitting on the bill and prevented any action. “It is the confusion of OPA saying it will raise wages and not prices one day and raising prices the next and doihg this or that without any definite policy that is causing the strikes and chaos in American industry. If we go meatless, OPA will be basically to blame. “They have tried to carry out a wartime policy - during - peacetime and it Just does not work out. However we cannot remedy the situation without the facts. These should be obtained by a senate study.”
