As the hearings on extension of price control proceed, helpful advice as to methods of controlling inflation without throttling production are coming | frem various sources. From the long-range viewpoint the importance of fiscal reforms as a factor in bringing inflationary pressures under control is being empha- zed. Ralph E. Flanders, President of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank, and Chairman of the Research | Committee for CED, agrees with Chairman Eccles of !the Federal Reserve Board that price control should | be extended for another year. And he, too, stresses the |need for balancing the Federal budget. He believes | that that should be done during the next fiscal year d that a budget surplus should be obtained if I NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash an | 1smlr.

The protesting Congress- men included: Hook of Michigan, Gore of Tennessee, Biemiller of Wisconsin, Holafield and Douglas of California, Savage of Washing- ton, Sadowski of Michigan, and others. Conyressman Hook bluntly chary- ed that the OPA order violated the President’s wage-price formula of February 14, which bases price re- lief on production profits for the next year. “What can I say to my farmer constituents, who have been de- manding higher prices for what they raise, if further auto price increases are allowed?” demanded DIPLOMATIC CHAFF Henry Wallace wiil take a very strong position against Winston Churchill and against this country's spearheading the curernt interna- tional crisis.
