Initiation to Cause More Taxes

WASHINGTON-Treasury Sec retary Henry Morgenthau, Jr, told the House Banking Commit tee that Congress will be requir- ed to vote still further taxes if imitation is to be avoided.
 Morgenthau appeared before the committee to support the ad- ministration price-ixing bill now pending in the House.
 Opposes Universal Ceiling
 Morgenthau opposed a recom- mendation by World War Indus tries Board Chairman Barney Ba ruch for universal ceiling over prices. He said labor could not be considered a simple economic commodity and that therefore he would oppose any move to fore ibly prevent wage increases. He believed wages could be con- trolled indefinitely by fixing liv- ing costs.
 As to Agricultural Prices
 Morgenthau objected to a pro- vision of the pending price-fxing bill which would prevent fixing agricultural prices less than no percent of parity. He said this restriction should be removed and pointed out that farmers are among those most vitally affected when imitation is permitted to gain hold on a nation.
