Expect Solons
To Probe Prices
• WASHINGTON, March 11 --
The prospect of a thorough con-
gressional check-up for the admin-
istration’s whole stabilization pro-
gram arose tonight behind legisla-
tion to continue the life of price
controls.
Phases of the program have been
before Congress in different occa-
sions, but never has the entire em-
ergency set-up been brought into
one over-all study by the Congress
which authorized it.
The Senate banking committee
will open hearings Wednesday on a
bill to extend for one year the price
control act which expires June 30,
and before they’re through com-
mittee members will go into the
operations of:
The office of Price administra-
tion, the War Labor board, salary
stabilization powers of the treas-
ury, the director of stabilization and
all emergency agencies set up eith-
er by Congress or the administra-
tion to keep a clamp on the war-
time cost of living.
Much of the home front program
operates under the price control
act and Senator Taft (R-Ohio) — a
frequent OPA critic — told a report-
er today it will be necessary for
| Congress to investigate all the op- |
erations before it can re-enact the
authorizing legislation.
The functions of the agencies in
some instances “overlap in a very
confused legal way," he said. Taft
and other senators indicated an at-
tempt may be made to fix specifi-
cally by law the duties of stabi-
lization bureaus. *
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles will be the first witness be-
fore the Senate banking commit-
tee Wednesday, he will be followed
by the full list of stabilization chiefs
before the open investigation winds
up April 7.

If oiling is part of the upkeep of your appliances why not
do it now or have it done now?
