OPA Director Says Holding
Living Costs Stable Is
Peoples Battle

WASHINGTON - For the
first time since November,
1910, the steady rise in living
costs has been checked as a
direct result of the general
ceiling on retail prices estab-
lished on May Is and the
accompanying measure TO re-
duce rents, Price Administra-
tor Leon Henderson contend.
ed today.
Commenting upon a special
study of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of living costs in q
cities for the period from
May Is to June 2, Henderson
stated, ''The first returns are
in. They are good. They show
that at last the upward move
ment in living costs has been
checked and that they actually
declined slightly in the period
under study. The survey DEM
Onstrates that if we are really
serious about it, the battle
against initiation can be won.
BATTLE NOT WON
But that battle is not won yet.
If future reports are to be as good.
we must have the unremitting vigi-
lance of everyone. To hold living
costs stable is the peoples battle.
The people must be on guard, and
| may say they are not yet suf-
ficiently on guard.
''We must backstOp the ceiling
by seeing that the buying power of
the country is brought down to
levels approximating the supply of
goods and services that are avail
able. This means that we will have
to have increased savings, greater
purchases of war bonds, larger di-
version of incomes into taxes, re-
payment of debts and sterilization
of wages and of farm prices not
covered by the price law. With these
additional steps, we are bound to
succeed"
INCREASES STOPPED?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
study showed that the increae in
living costs, which has mounted
17A% since the outbreak of the
war in Europe, stopped during the

he spread hatred for American insti-
