maintaining price stability, and to
single out those who wish to grow
rich on the defense program"
Profiteering in used machine tools,
he explained, threatens the price
structure in this field, stimulates
disastrous imitation, places undue
burdens upon the Government and
weakens defense efforts.

Roosevelt as individuals who would
clip the American eagles wings to
feather their own nests. We propose
to maintain the eagles full power
of flight and clip the profiteer where
it hurts him most"
The new price schedule, effective
March l.. is based on a maximum
percentage of current list price for
the equivalent new machine tool.
This percentage price, for ex-
ample, for rebuilt or guaranteed
tools manufactured after January
1, 1889, is set at 95. Other second
hand tools of this age cannot be
sold for more than rs per cent of
the original price. ,. ..-

Where 1t Hurts Most

The first of series of price ,sched-

sued today by Leon Henderson, head
of the division of price stab1liza-
ton of the National Defense Com
mission.
1t covers the field of secondhand
machine tools, some OF which Mr..
Henderson said have been bringing
more than twice the original cost
when purchased 80 or more years
ago. In many cases, he added, the
price asked for secondhand tools
exceeds current prices for new ones.
In another step, the Office of
Production Management announced
that a working arrangement on
priority ratings has been reached
between the Army and Navy and

Under the arrangement the Army
and Navy Munitions Board is to

critical list'-tanks, airplanes, am
munition, etc.-and the Priorities
Division of the o. P. M. will have
authority over preference ratings
for all raw materials and over gen.
