Economic Planning Held
Road 10 Socialism
Ey the Associated Press.

Hy the Associated Press.
RICHMOND. Va, April 15.-H. w.
Prentis, jr., vice president and
director of the National Association
of Manufacturers, assailed economic
planners" yesterday as the "proto-
type of our Indian medicine man"
and predicted that if the Govern
ment invokes economic planning in
industry, it would eventually be ex-
tended to every branch of human
endeavor.
Speaking before a meeting spon-
sored by the Virginia Manufacturers
Association and the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, Prentis
outlined program designed to safe
guard the American system of rep
resentative democracy, private free
enterprise and religious and civil
liberties.
The meeting was attended by
about 900 Virginia industrialists and
businessmen. Speakers during the
dey called for positive action by
businessmen to solve the Nations
problems.
Prentis said the "road to planned
economy is the road to state social
ism +. 1t is an illusory vision
and in the final analysis
economic planning means less plan
ming and not more planning.
If the Economic Planning Board
makes one wrong decision" Prentis
asserted, cit will have a devastating
effect on all people,"
