Research Institute
Head Offers High
Praise for Henderson

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July
z GNS).-Leo M. Cherne, director
of the Research Institute Of Amer
lea declared that il would be
folly" to pretend that the OPAl
alone can control prices or hold
back the infiationary pressure and
attacked Congress for slashing the
budget request of Leon Henderson.
Praising the price chief. Cherne
told the Institute of Public Affairs
that the infiationary gap which
Henderson estimates at $21 .000,-
600, 900 cannot be controlled by
the few levers which Congress
has been willing TO place in his
hands, and he Is wise enough and
frank enough to recognize it,"
"A Congress increasingly zeal

Its responsibility by the process
of enactinG . price control law
and then falling to provide tho
funds adequate for Its enforce
ment or the very much larger

augmentation" Cherne said.
ONLY TWO COURSES
The inequity OF an overall
price freezing, applied a. OF q
specific date. makes one Of two
prog m inevitable. Either
astronomical subsidies are ap-
propriated by Congress and made
available tn business harshiy

prices down to the carly 1042

Apparently referring 10 Con.
gress. action in drawing up tax
bill far short OF the administra-
tons goal. Cherne said that the
army and navy. WPB. OPA, Fed
eral Reserve Board and the treas
ury have the responsibility Of
demanding enaction of the kind OF
tax program and war budget they
need 10 win the war.
SLAPPED CONGRESS
In another slap at Congress. he
then added:
81 suppose, from . practical
point OF view. that we will be IN
better position 10 get better
results after the congressional
elections this November have

diency the determinant Of eco

Nelson, sensing an intimation
that oil interests were influencing
the WPB 10 block other methods
for making synthetic rubber, de-
clared:
ANYBODY who holds his own
private interests above the In
ferests Of the United States now
IL guilty of treason and ought 10
he tried for treason"
He declared that. il the syn
thetic rubber program were TO be
started now, ''I certainly would
favor a plan that would make 60
per cent OF our synthetic rubber
production out of alcohol made
from grain or other farm produce
and 40 per cent from petroleum.
But the program, he said. was
already under way when ne was
appointed as head of the WPB. 1t
calls, he explained, for 800. 900 tons
a year Of synthetic rubber, Of
which 100000 tons will be the buna
type synthetic.
MOSTLY FROM OIL
As the program stands, Nelson
said. most of the 100000 tons of
buna type synthetic-the principal
tire xynthetic-will be made from
butadiene derived from petroleum.
