Baruch Urges Peg
For Al! Prices,
Including Labor

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. (UP)-
Bernard M Baruch, car of Amer
ica's industrial effort in World War
told the house banking committee
today it cannot hope to curb war
price initiation without imposing
ceilings on wages, rents and farm
prices.
Baruch appeared before the COM
mlttee in support OF governmental
price control. He said the pending
administration bill was not strong
enough. II would not permit fixing
Of wages, would provide for only
limited rent control in defense areas,
and limited control of farm prices.
don't believe in plece-meai
price fixing" Baruch said. L think
you have first to put ceiling over
the whole plice StrucLure-lnclud-
.u2 wages. rents and farm prices at
tie parity level and no higher-and
then adjust separate price sched-
ules upward separately, if neces-
sary. where justice or governmental
policy so requires.
L don't believe that you can
keep price control as separate
effort It must be Intimately tied up
and move in step with ali other war
controls wage and rent control,
pIlOritles, conservation, command
eering, war trade, war finance and
80 forth. They are like the fingers
Of hand Without all together
the job can't be done satisfactorily

He also presented the case of an

the firm. employing 460 men, had

Nevertheless, said Bryan, the
agreement between the SUP and

the union will not delay sailings
because OF failure to reach prompt

said, thus directly violates their

there was increasing need for speed
ing aid to the Red army.
The war news from the Ukraine
also depressed the London stock
exchange sharply, Topping off about
$14,000000 in market values.
Importance of the German push
into the Ukraine was illustrated by
Londons anxiety over whether the
eastern defenSes could be stabilized
in front of the Donets industrial
basin and the Caucasus oil pipe line
until winter and foreign aid offset
the punch of the invaders.
Hitler obviously was throwing
everything into the Ukraine drive

The resolution, pointing out that
President Roosevelt has proclaimed

advocated that the government pro-
vide the means for ending work

capital or labor.
Recognizing that the selective SER

Vital to
Russians

LONDON. Sept. 10. CUP)-Unim-
peachable sources said today that
the problem of getting British and
American weapons to Russia had
become the most urgent of the war.
1t was indicated that the Ger
mans driving through the Ukraine
were aiming not only at Kharkov
but at the great Stalino- Ordzhoni-
kidze industrial region to the east
and at RoStov at the mouth of the
Don.
They had cut off the Crimean
peninsula. they had put Kiev into
the middle of great steel wedge
and their drive had now become a
threat to the Caucasus oil region.
The threat of German campaign
through or around Turkey to cut
off the middle eastern United
United States supply line to Russia
had now become real one.
Informants said the Germans now
held or imminently threatened
enough industrial territory to make
it certain Russian industry could
not supply the weapons which the
Red army and air foce must have.
1t was realized here that any
American and British weapons
which reach Russia within the next
few months could be only of moral
value, SO far as the real supply
problem was concerned, because
months were needed to get a suf-
ficient volume flowing.
But on what could be done with
in the next six months to ensure a
steady, big scale flow of finished
weapons to Russia for use In the
spring campaign, depended the
present course of the war, ,infor-
mantS said.
The view taken here was construc-
tive, not defeatist.
Sources which are unimpeachable
are convinced that Russia is going
TO fight on, from the Caucasus. the
Urals or wherever else the German
armies may drive to.
