MEA Waahfogtbn
W'ASHINGTON, O. &—(NEA)—Easiest way to try to explain
present administration difficulties over how much if any to let
pricas go uo in order to settle labor degfends for wage increases is to
>.,y that it'int flush of personalities. Price Administrator Chester W.
Bowles, for instance, against Reconversion Director
John W Snyder. In the Bowles corner would be
Commerce Secretary Henry Wallace and Treasury
Secretary Fted Vinson, Snyder's seconds would be
Agriculture Secretary Clinton. W. Anderson and
Civilian Production Administrator John D. Small.
This argument is bigger, though, than a battle
of personalities. It's a clash of philosophies and
economic theories.
First get one thing straight. You cannot get
anyone in the administrative end of the govern-
ment to come out flatly for removal of all price
i nnfrols. A few congressmen and the paid lobby-
ists of the real estate, dry goods, auto dealers and
manufacturers and'some of the farm groups would like to see price
control abolished immediately But there is no popular support for it.
rFRE big light now going on^ in Washington is over ^ie raising of
* price ceilings and the timing.
The Bowles side of the argument is that price controls should be
kept on just as long as goods are in short supply, but no longer. When
supply becomes greater than demand and prices start going below the
established ceilings, then price controls may be safely lifted one at a
time.
As the authority to fix price ceilings expires June 30, Bowles is
' going before Congress to argue for continuation. It will probably
be two months—about the end of March—before Congress will decide.
. The other side of this argument starts oft with the statement that
the easiest and best way to lick scarcity and high prices is by in-
creasing production. The second part of the argument is that mere
production can best be obtained by raising,prices—by allowing manu-
facturers and dealers to make a little more money. The third mart
is that once production is started and goods get in full supply, then
prices will automatically drop. j
Finally, it is argued that only by raising prices a little can business
I get enough money to pay the higher wages now being demanded by
' labor, and therefore the only way to settle strikes is through lifting
the price ceilings.
fWfE thing generally lost sight of in this argument is that the Tru-
^ man administration is already supposed to have a policy for deal-
ing with this situation. It is the wage-price policy stated by President
Truman on Aug. 18, amplified by an executive order of Oct. 30 and;
still further expounded by a set of regulations issued by Stabilization!
Administrator JOhn C. Collet Dec. 6. Briefly, this policy is that wages
may be increased in any industry just so long as the prices on prod-
ucts or services of that industry are not increased above ceilings.
What is going on now is a clarification of this policy. President
Truman must stick to it or abandon it. - He is probably in for trouble
either wnv.

ances at the Polo Grounds.
This is.. unusual because Coo-
per's power is to 'right and left-
renter, where balls are caught in
the New York National League
park ea.sier than elsewhere. That
is due to the fact that the foul
lines in the shadow of Coogan's
Bluff do not have to be protected
to the extent that they have to
be in other orchards. If the bnll
is smacked over the high v*lls
at the end of inviting short foul
lines, it is in the stands, anyway,
and there is nothing the outfielder
can do about it, and flychasers
know how to play balls ricochet-
ing off the barriers. That leaves
them free to lay in the alleys of
hitters like Cooper.
~DtLL TERRY in 1930 was the
last National Leaguer to bat
.400, yet the Polo Grounds hardly
was tailor-made for the Giants'
first baseman and manager. Mem-
phis Bill belted the ball on a
line, and when he shot one down
the foul line away from home the
sphere had to be fielded.
Outfielders couldn't park them-
selves in right and left-center,
and. let the tout lines take care of
themselves. The result was that
Terry over stretches of years bat-
ted more than .500 at Pittsburgh's
Forbes Field and above .400 in
what is now Cincinnati's Crosley
Field. !
