WASHINGTON. Dec. 1 (UP) Michael V. DiSalle said today the decision on when to scrap wage-price controls should be left up to the Incoming Republican administration. The former price stabilizer made the statement in an intcrview as he undertook an extraordinary two-week assignment as “special consultant” to the I ruman administration on the economic controls program. DiSalle, who resigned as price chief last summer to run unsuccessfully for the senate in his native Ohio, conceded that he might recommend that the Democrats start winding up the controls program before they leave office Jan. 20. Hut he indicated that lie will oppose proposals that President Truman lift all controls by executive order now. "I think it would be rather unfair not to leave the decision up to the next administration,” he
said.
He added that the 83rd Congress also "ought to be given the chance" to hold hearings on legislation to continue wageprice controls beyond their present April 30 expiration date. The "decontrol-now'" proponents argue that so many items ulicady have been exempted from price controls. Either by congressional action or because they are selling far below ceilings, that there is little point in maintaining the program any longer. Only about one-third of the items in tlie average family's budget aie now under ceilings. It also has been suggested that abolishing wage controls would get the administration off the spot of having to choose between a nationwide coal strike or granting John L. Lewis' miners .- bigger pay hike than the wage labilization board is willing to appi ove. DiSalle was unable to shed much light on exactly what he will do as a controls consultant. He said, however, that he did not think lie would have to deal with any "specific" price problems. Economic Stabilizer Rodgei L. I'ainain asked DiSalle to return to Washington for the temporary a. signment, and it has been gen- ( , ally believed that Putnam mainly wanted DiSalle’s support for his own position in favor of
