PAGE EIGAT ° INFLATION FLUTTERING IN CAPITAL WASHINGTON, Dac. 5—® Warnings of inflation are fluttering again in the capital, but most of the economic lookouts discount any immediate peril. They see, fairly steady, prosperous sailing through- cut 1950 President Truman is not expected to revive his demands of a year ago for drastic “standby” anti- inflation powers. This is despite the rise in credit to new peaks, the firming of prices, and the fall im- | provement in business and em- ployment. Government economists and some | | private experts report the revival of an “inflationary potential.” They base the report mainly or heavy in-the-red spending by the | government and on the new round of wage-and-pension increases. Yet few of them expect a major price whirl in the next 12 months. FORECASTS The “disinflation” is not over for some important industries. Many economists believe the long-range hazard is deflation. A consensus of the might boil down to this: 1950 will be another year of high income and high production, on a Jevel of prosperity not too unlike 1949 and not far below record- smashing 1948. Inflation warnings have been uttered by two bank presidents and other witnesses before Senator Douglas' (D-IlI) economic subcom- mittee. These have stirred specula- tion whether Mr. Truman Wwill again seek controls over prices, wages, commodity trading and ma- terials allocation AWAIT MESSAGE The decision, if it is not already | made, will come in the next month | ac the President prepares his an- nual economic message to the new | session of Congress. Persons in close touch with White | House planning say a new bid for controls is unlikely and, even if! one comes, would be turned down by Congress. This view is voiced by Senator Flanders of Vermont, a Republican mianufacturer and a member of the Senate-Hous¢ Economic Committee | who usually votes with the Demo- forecasts Pray for Me!
