Price Controls Already Saved Taxpayers $50
Senator Declares i'm Radio Address-Crtcizes Hostile
Attitude of Congress Toward Price Administration.

Washington, D. G. (ILNS). = Con-
troll of prices saved American taxpay-
ers $6,OO0,OO from June, 1910,
through April, 1912, by keeping down
the cost of war supplies and would
save at least $62, 100000 more by
the end of 1943, Senator Robert F.
Wagner of New York declared in a
radio address criticizing the hostile
attitude of Congress toward the Of
flee of Price Administration.
Speaking over the Columbia Broad
casting System, Wagner said that to
the period just after the first World
War, prices increased two and half
times from the 1914 level and more
than $13,000,000,00 of the $31, 1,000,-
100000 that the war had cost the
Treasury was consumed 'in the smoke
and waste of inflated prices"
Benefits of Controls Cited
The nation is better prepared to deal
with initiation in this war, Wagner as
serted. He added:
"Since June, 1910, with the volun-
tary cooperation of industry, prices
of steel, copper and many other essen
tial materials have been kept at low
and stable level.
''The average consumer knows that
the cost of living stopped rising after
the recent orders freezing retail prices
and rents. Every housewife knows
how far her budget will stretch, under
ceiling prices posted in every retail
store in the country. In all the war
production areas, embracing 100000
900 people, the new rent ceilings will
save tenants over $500,000,000 year"
These conditions had come about,
he declared, as part of general Of
fensive against initiation which Con-
gress was helping and hindering. He
called taxes vital part of the cam
paign and criticized the tax bill
drafted by the House Ways and Means
Committee as insufficient.
Sees Big Savings Possible
Discussing the attitude of Congress
on the appropriations for the Office of
Price Administration, headed by Leon
Henderson, Wagner said that "those
who search this appropriation with a
view to economy should give due re-
gard to the money savings" which
have come from the work of the OPA.
"From June, 1910, through April,
1942," he went on, 1--WE spent $25,00O,-
100000 for war materials and we
saved $6,O00,OOO,0OO more because
OPA kept prices down, by contrast
with inflated prices prevailing in the
last war. On the enormous war ex-
penditures scheduled to the end of
1943, we stand to save the Treasury
at least $62, 100000 more.
"These savings alone would justify
Congress in providing the adequate
appropriation needed to give the price
control law the fair trial it SO clearly
deserves.

Business prospects have become
the prospects of the war;" the bank
adds. "The developments of the past
few weeks make it appear probable
that large numbers of American
troops will be engaged in combat and
that shortages of civilian goods will
be severe. Our worst shortages from
the national point of view are going
to be those of scarce materials, of
man power and of shipping. Not only
does it appear probable that the war
may be very long, but it seems likely
that we shall have to take an active
part in it's combats and on a huge
scale"

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). - No
persons should be refused a job be-
cause of foreign birth, President
Roosevelt declared here in statement
warning against blanket condemna-
ton of any group or class.
"A general condemnation of any
group or class of persons is unfair
and dangerous to the war effort" the
President said, in outlining policy
designed to help end unfair discrim-
ination in the employment of aliens.
The President said that it was the
duty of everyone to report any spe-
cific disloyal activity to the FBI and
that necessary steps are being taken
to guard against and punish subver-
Sive acts.
Prompt Action Promised
Roosevelt POINTED out that there is
no legal restriction on employment of
aliens, except that specific permission
is required from the War or Navy De-
partment for them to work in war in
dustries on government contracts clas-
sified as secret, confidential or re-
stricted.
In these special cases, an alien may
make application on forms furnished
by the United States Employment
Service for the required permission.
The department concerned will "act
promptly" on such applications, usu-
ally within 48 hours, the President
said. He listed half dozen categories
of aliens whose applications will re-
ceive special and expedited consid-
Grafton"

McNutt to Enforce Plan

Stephen T. Early, White House sec
retary, said that Paul V. McNutt,
chairman of the War Manpower Com
mission, will "make certain now that
the agencies of the government CO.
operating with the commission will put
the plan into operation"
The four officials who developed the
plan reported to the President, Early
said, that some discrimination exists
in the employment of aliens now
largely because of natural psychology
under war conditions" but that the
steps being taken should laid in the
elimination of such discrimination"

Elizabeth, NJ (ILNS)-T The Singer
Manufacturing Company of Elizabeth

Reasonable Restrictions

He emphasized that reasonable re-
strictions would be maintained in en-
ployment of aliens on jobs involving
military secrecy, remarking that 81
do not assume for moment that the
government will let Germans, Japa-
nese or Rumanians work on a bomb
sight"
The objective, he said, is to classify
aliens, both friend and enemy, with a
view to greater utilization of their
services in our war production"
