 AT WHITE HOUSE
President Wants to Hear All Reports About Plan
 of Price Fixing

washington, oct s-(UP)-Pres- ident Roosevelt called his new na- tional industrial recovery board to the White House today to consider the future of the MIRA. particular~ ly as it concerns price fixing and production control. The board members, headed by s. Clay Wll- Hams. found during their first week in office that Blue Eagle codes Hx- ing prices present the most difii- cult problems of all left by Gen Hugh s. Johnson, resigned MIRA administrator.
 Mir Roosevelt never has said pub- licly whether he believes price nx> ing clauses in the codes necessary, although he did acknowledge in . recent address widely differing views concerning them.
 There seemed to be little in- dication that today's conferences would result in abolishnent of tbs price regulations in the codes, a1- though observers at recovery head quarters said official policies con- cerning them might be liberalixed later.

consequently no cessation of Govern.
