While the ‘motor boat was chugging back to shore, Truman and his old Senatorial friends, Gov.' Mon Wallgren and Senator ‘Warren Magnuson of Washington, played poker. The stakes were low, but the thrifty Truman was trying hard: to come out ahead. It was agreed that, no matter who wa ahead, the game would stop the minute the boat hit shore. So the President kept up a line. of banter to the Norwegian skipper. “Slow her down, Christiansen, he said, “I'm behind. I need a little ‘extra time to catch up. Or again, it was: “Speed her up, Christiansen, I'm ahead now. Let’s get to shore Et‘ll»x‘(' the Governor catches up.” Finally, the motor boat touched shore with the President of the United States a few cents ahehd.| Skipper , Christiansen was just as pleased as Truman. * % * OPA CRACKDOWNS | Just before V-J Day, the Justice Department announced an import- ant' drive to crack down on black marketeers and violators of OPA cellings. Some people are now wondering whether the depart- ment’s laudable move will fall by the wayside now that the war is| over, Thése -OPA prosecutions will come largely under the new Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Criminal Division, Theron Lamar Caudle Mr: Caudle is a charming, like- able - gentleman from Wadesboro, N.'C, who was U. S. Attorney for Western North Carolina. Based on previbus happenings in his district it would apy that Mr. Caudle is not energetic in pressing for proseeution of OPA violations Last November, the Cox Lumber Company in Caudle’s hom own of Wadesboro was prosecuted by the OPA for violating price regulations The suit was for $450,000, and the OPA brought criminal charges However, the Cox Lumber Com- pany retained very distinguished psel, Clyde Hoey, former gov- erpor of North Carolina, now U. S Senator and a good friend of Mr Capdle. Mr. Hoey at that time was nptjactually serving as U. S. Sen- ator. He had been nominated which is equivalent to election, but he had not taken the oath of office., Otherwise he would have violated Second Class Matter.

The guarantee of such abundance is seen in the rather breath-taking {speed with which WPB production controls are being discarded.

But the “go” | signal to competing manufacturers while the industrial raw materials they need are still scarce is a hazardous |experiment. What is going to happen to prices? The | relaxation of wage controls is also a handicap in the way of maintenance of OPA price ceilings. Japan state that country’s total {inflation. In other words, with controls abolished, the pressure of unsatisfied demands at both the pro- duction and consumer end might play havoc with a controlled price system.

Leon Henderson, former OPA price administrator, pointed out in an article published recently in The Post, tRat if the inflation fight should be lost now, billions of dollars of savings would virtually disappear. “But the biggest threat,” he added, “is that inflation may become uncon- | trollable and temporary unemployment might be turn- ed into real depressior That is the greatest single danger looming ahead.
