. Mr. Truman Speeds Decontrol We have a new government agency an Office of Temporary Controls. That seems to be its official title ; at least it appropriately designates the next-to-the-last stop on. the line for four major organizations that helped pull us through the war but have lost most of their powers in the reconversion period squabbles. That was particularly true of the Offce of Price Administration, which never really came back after a quarrel between Congress and the White House last summer left it briefly in a state of suspended animation. Yet, in the passing of OPA, three controls remain that on the basis of necessity or popular demand may outlast even the new catch-all agency. These controls involve rice, sugar and rents. T nTT "t j? i; n it

xxiuu wie uhj gu aisu me lenicuiujig luucuons oi me Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion, the. Civilian Production Administration and the Office of Economic Stabilization.. The Wage Stabilization Board is on its way to a separate exit, with some of its duties transferred to the .Labor Department. The Office of Government Reports reappears, but the Office of Contract Settlement loses its identity by absorption in the Treasury Department. Authority over housing activities, if any, is divided. These are highlights in a wholesale revamping of the yar emergency set-up that probably will be widely commended. Such eliminations and mergers by no means exhaust the possib'lities if streamlining of our sprawling administrative structure is the major objective. Periodic overhauling even in normal times is in the public interest.. Efficiency if net material economy thus can be promoted. Speculation may arise whether President Truman has followed advice about beating the Republicans to such changes. Since Nov. 5 it has appeared certain that the new GOTcontrolled Congress would try to make a record for govern

mental hcusecleaning. If the Republicans are displeased by j

anticipation ct their strategy, they are not m a position to do much about it, since they have long clamored for decontrol. However, the passing of 'OPA and other emergency agencies serves also as a reminder of the mess, the nation has imde of reconversion. For this both Congress and the administration are responsible. Inflation has been stimulated by precipitous surrendering of some controls; that in turn has aggravated industrial strife. In our haste to get back to "normalcy" we may be stumbling into an economic recession. We have done little to a!!ev;ate the acute housing shortage, although large amounts of scarce materials have been made . available for race tracks and other non-essential construction. It is to Mr. Truman's credit that he signifies no intention of abandoning rent controls. But that threat to the

wage earners dwindling purchasing power may be revived when Congress, meets. Already there is pressure to transfer I this function to the states, where such statutes as now

iiiu. v. icia iiiaji j,cucicl I eg lliftLlUlS. In general, we may reflect that in speeding decontrol, bnth Congress and administration officials lost sight of one vital pledge. Decontrol was supposed to. have been orderly.
