Advocate Of Status Quo.
Mr.. Baruch has been telling his
friends since the Presidents pro-
gram was announced that nobody
should lose anything in the way of
prices or wages or rentals as a re-
suit of inf1ation-contro He be-
lieves in the status quo as it was

This is taken to mean that he
approves the Presidents stand in
favor of retaining the 40-hour

Mr.. Baruch also has been telling
his friends that Leon Henderson. the
