Effects Of Decontrol On Industry Vary By SAM DAWSON NEW: YORK (#—Decontrol head- aches ‘trouble some industries and leave others untouched. And the | same goes for consumers. Consumers in some areas are Tuesday, February 17, 1953 | paying more for gasoline today. | In other areas oilmen are more worried about price weakness and surpluses which may lower fuel | oil prices shortly. The auto industry—seeking more steel and other metals—may still | have to wait its turn a while long- er.. Washington says that all pri-| ority tickets for the second quar- | ter must be honored first, wheth- er they’ve been presented: to the steel mills yet or not. And since it takes nearly two | months for steel orders to be turned into delivered metal, few steel users will be getting any more than at present before April —and not much more probably befdre June. When all cars are freed of price | controls—expected soon—few. price changes. are predicted in the in- | dustry. Competition will take care of that. Many consumer meant nothing either in prices or production—only a blessed sur- cease from keeping’ records and filling out forms. Food, clothing and __ furniture prices, in most instances, were well “below. price ceilings before decpntrol. And the consumer has seen little or no change. In the steel industry, companies | are now talking mostly in terms of raising prices on only a few products which are far out of line with others. Metal consumer. prod- ucts would be little affected price- wise, steel spokesmen believe. Crude oil-prices. have gone up| on the West Coast, where there is a shortage, and:in some sections | of Pennsylvania, where a special erude mainly used for lubricants is produced. Gasoline and heating oil prices industries find ; that the decontrol measures have | mounting because of the mild win- ter. A price break seems more likely than a hike. And some of them say that gaso- line production, which is due to | pick up shortly in preparation for |the summer. driving season, may rise too fast, since refining facili- |ties are increased over last year. The battle over crude ail prices | will be one of higher costs on one side and ample available supplies |on the other.

Leaders Today WASHINGTON i — Adlai E. Stevenson, in a listening mood, goes to the White House today for a conference with President Eisen- hower and lunch with a score of members of Congress. The 1952 Democratic presidential nominee, moving through a round of capital conferences with his party’s members, was open to a possible presidential suggestion that he report back his findings in a world tour on which he will embark March 2. Five Dollars ettles Status , Jf Korean Help By JIM BECKER TOKYO — American soldiers say that for five United States dol- lars they can keep their Korean servants out of the Republic of Korea military draft. At least that’s the going rate in the Central Korean city of Chun- chon, say the Americans, who ask that their identity be kept secret. Many American units have, or | have had, headquarters in the| Chunchon area, which is glutted | with war refugees. Recently the ROK draft officials in the battered city -have begun questioning the status of ‘house boys” who travel with U. S. units. A $5 bill silences these queries, the soldiers say. Estimates of these ‘houe boys run a high as 1,900 per American division. Many have been with the divisions for more than two years. At first they were drifters in the wake of moving units in the days of fluid warfare, then they found work obtaining fuel for stoves and running errands for headquarters troops. Even battalion headquarters, only a few hundred yards from the front lines, have house boys. Some of them have been placed on division payrolls. Many are paid by their GI employers. When one soldier goes home on rotation, his re- ee takes over the house fone of the boys are quite young, some old, but the majority appear to be of draft age. They wear American uniforms. One American soldier said he |refused to pay when an ROK of- | ficial questioned the status of his house boy. Soon the boy disappear- ed. A few days later the American received a plea from the boy to send $5 for the official. He sent it. A few days later, the boy was back at work, sweeping the sol- dier’s tent. SUGGESTS CHINA IN U. N. MONTREAL ® —.U. S.. Sen. Ralph E, Flanders, Vermont Re- publican, said last night that Com- munist China should be admitted to the United Nations “if she will come out from behind the curtain.” “All the precedents in diplomacy say that no matter how much we dislike her form of government, we shouldn’t refuse China admis- sion to the society of nations be- cause she is Communist,” he de- clared in an address to the Society of Friends (Quakers) here, | NAMED BY PRESIDENT. — Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce, play- wright and former Connecticut congresswoman, was named by President Eisenhower as his choice for U.S, Ambassador to | Italy.
