Chicago Grain
~ tic Associated Press.

By CGI ASSOClhJeO FISs>'
CHICAGO. Jan. 13.-Grain fu-
lures prices broke sharply today and
little rallying power appeared at
any time. although fair demand
was credited to milling interests on
declines.
Wheat at times broke as much
rs 8 cents q bushel while corn was
of more than q cent and soybeans
declined more than cents.
The prime factor in the market
was the progress of price-control
legislation and traders described the
market trend as an about face from
yesterdays action when most quo
tations were at the best levels for
several years.
Reported efforts of the admins
tration to eliminate certain pro-
visions which were termed "unde-
sirable" from the price-control bill
approved by the Senate exerted a
bearish influence on prices. A re-
port that Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard no longer sought veto pow
ers over farm prices ceilings and
developments in the cash market
also were unsettling factors.
Closing prices were at or near
the lowest levels of the session.
Wheat finished 2i2 to 2$ cents

To Be Compiled
~ the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Jan. I3.-The Autorno-
tive Council for War Production,
through Chairman Alvan Macauley,
took steps last night to expedite
the expanded war production pro-
gram.
Macauley, chairman Of the board
OF the Packard Motor Car Co. and
president of the Automobile Manu-
facturers' Association. said service
listing used machinery would be
established Immediately to make
available to automotive firms, and
to industry generally. detailed data
on all machine tools not earmArked
for defense production.
In addition. he said. firms in the
council will place their tool shops
and tool facilities, when not needed
for their own war work. at the dis
posal Of other companies for pro-
duction of military tools.
Macauley also said that each au-
tomotive firm had been asked to
appoint q special representative to
cooperate with local ofices of O. p.
Ms contract distribution service.
Despite the fact that 4 high per-
centage Of all tools usable in nom
aut0m0tive work has eben ear
marked for armament production
he said many thousands of ma
chine tools will be involved in the
listing service"
The tools. he added. would be
placed on file in Detroit and with
o. P. M. and the armed services.
These, he said, would be listed by
type. age. model and condition.
BY such practice. Macauley ex-
planned. it is hoped to relieve the
tremendous existing pressure on the
machine tool industry

Chi|eans 10 Propose
Pan-American Board
For Prices, Quota
Solution of Problem of
Marketing War Goods
Is Goal at Rio
BY ALLEN HADEN.

Foreisn Correspondent Of The star and
Chicaso Daily News.
ABOARD THE S. S. URUGUAY.
Via Sac Paulo, Jan. lS.-Looking
to the time when all Pan American
exports can be handled through q
central marketing board which
would simultaneously serve as one
of the worlds most powerful eco
nomic weapons. Chile will propose
at the Rio conference of American
foreign ministers. opening Thursday.
an inter-American price and quota
commission
This body. which would be created
by joint agreement including every
American republic, would:
l. Determine the prices to be paid
for South American raw materials
going into war industry.
2. Operate a quota system for
allotments of civilian industrial
goods needed by Pan America.
Seeks to Solve Problem.
Chile's proposal looks toward the
solution of an immediate problem.
American solidarity depends ON
whether the Americas can achieve
a measure of comfort and pros
perity," Foreign Minister DR.. Juan
Rossetti of Chile says. I'VE cannot
afford to sell our minerals at peace
time prices and buy our industrial
imports at inflated wartime prices"
he adds.
Thus the price and quota board
whose creation he will propose ut
Rio would narrow the spread
Some such regulation is wanted by
almost every South American coun-
try. Chile requires it more urgently
than most on account of its almost
exclusive dependence for income on
mineral exports. The main items.
all sold to the United States, in
round numbers are.
Copper. 100000 tons: nitrates.
1000. 600 tons; manganese, 100000
tons; iron ore. 100000 tons. and
Bolivian tin, through Africa and
Antofaeasta. 20 1000 tons.
Needs and Facilities.
The central marketing board
would provide for beginning the
integration of South American i'm
ports and exports with United
States needs and exporting facilities.
1t would be q big step toward what
Secretary of State Hull at Havana
last year called the orderly mar
keting of export surpluses."
Mr.. Hun's proposal at Havana
did not prosper. The American re-
publics were not ready for it. There
was too much fear. Hence. the
value of q preliminary experience
on a smaller scale, providing a
school for training in the eventual
Joint use of the combined economic
resources of the American repub-
lcs-for peace and prosperity.
But q lesson to the world is con-
tanned in this Chilean proposal. For.
while the NaLi new order f0reSees
complete control over EuropeS
economy imposed by German arms.
Chile looks to the integration Of
American economies by agreement.

Spending Spree Seen
Unless Taxes Offset
Higher Wages
Banker Tells Retailers
Trade May Fail to
EquoI l94l Marks
nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Jan 13-The Ma
tons department stores today were
told that, unless the money is taken
by higher taxes, those now earning
two or three times their normal
salaries in war production work
would spend with abandon.
Frank j. Scott, vice president OF
the Morris Plan Corp. Of America,
In an address prepared for delivery
at the National Retail Dry Goods
Association convention drew this
wartime business picture of the
United States:
Subject to some qualification, We
probably shall see retail business In
lS4l volume.
Tn war production industries
wages will be higher due to rising
costs coupled with tremendous de-
mand for skilled and unskilled labor
Unless syphoned off by higher taxes,
higher social security assessments
and through other means, money
(of these workers. will be spent with
abandon
Unless Congress freezes present
labor union status in industry for
the duration of the war, the present
dominent power of labor unions will
increase at time when industry
will be strictly regulated and
rationed by Government"
Standardized Clothes Likely.
Merchants anticipate retail price
control and are wondering now only
what form 1t will take. New York
department store executive said
while noting Americas clothes may
become fairly standardized.
w. Stuart. jr.. assistant general
merchandise manager Of Stern
Brothers. told the convention:
We have been told by the Gov
eminent that industry will not be
asked to standardize-merely to
simplify Yet it is most probable
that simphfication will bring about
4 fair degree of standardization,
even In regard to such goods as
fashion merchandise.
"As We 60 ever increasingly to a
war economy, the urge to economic
on matreials will increase. If. for
example, to save textiles. ruffles.
pleats and shirrings are to be elimi-
mated numerous different
styles in our stocks will emerge as
ei,hef onfio1Iy SIunilar"
Price Control Backed.
Noting that as recently as last
summer merchants were asking the
Government to refrain from retail
price control. Stuart said:
"Our thesis Cthen) was that II
wholesale prices are controlled, COM
petition among ourselves would ade-
quately control retail prices.
Perhaps We now recognize that
no phase of our present-day social
order should seek to place itself
apart from or above regulated eco
nomic correlation with the rest OF
our national community.
I'm any event. our representatives
are now cooperating with the Gov
eminent in working out a plan of
retail price control. We no longer
ponder whether there will be con-
trol-only what kind of control"
