wage control in the admins

ChairmAn Steagall OF the Bank
ing Committee told the House to-
day the administration would agree
to have its proposed price controls
administered by a board rather than
an individual.
He announced also the admins
tration vas willing to make some
modification OF two other major
parts OF the controverted legisla-
tion-a provision to license commod-
ity dealers and one to empower the
Government to buy and sell any
commodity in the open market IN
a plan to keep prices stable.
Driving for a final vote on the
control bill. administration lieu
tenants still sought to keep the IL
censing power in the bill, even
though modified.
This hotly disputed proposal,
which offered the days first big test
of strength, would provide for
licensing producers Of commodities
on which price ceilings may be fixed.
This would enable the price admin
istrator to crack down on producers
who disregarded the ceiling fixed.
Another fight was in prospect over
the clause empowering the Govern
ment to buy and sell commodities.
A third controversial point in
volved the desirability of concentrat-
ing all the price control powers in
the hands of a single administrator.
The big threat that administra-
ton forces faced was that a coalition
of Republicans and farm State Dem
ocrats might be able to rally enough
votes after one of these tests to
have the legislation sent back to
committee for restudy and perhaps
drastic revision. All this would in
volve considerable delay in the face
OF administration warnings that
speed is imperative.
Administrat ation leaders were de-
termined to insist that the licensing
provision be included in the bill.
There seemed to be possibility. how
ever. that they might accept COM
promise on some other disputed sec

votes.

a conspiracy which has had the
effect of sabotaging the vast mill

The charge came as the House
naval affairs committee prepared
to open an INJURY tomorrow into
progress of the naval defense pro-
gram, and as the House military
affairs committee scheduled a SINH
lar army inquiry in the near fu-.
ture.
The department sought TO MAIN
tain q monopoly in airplane engine
production. and as a result the en-
tire defense program has been
slowed down. Dingell asserted.
