Inventory Controls
Won't Be Ordered
For Several Weeks
Nelson Reussures Firms
On Preliminary Draft
'Thut Leaked Out

Inventory controls being prepared
by the War Production Board will
not be issued for number Of weeks
and will not become operative for
several months thereafter.
This assurance was given yester-
day to wholesalers and retailers by
Chairman Donald M. Nelson to Off
set the effect of an official w. P. B.
announcement last week which said
the Government was preparing to
take immediate steps to limit all
inventories to working minimums
In order to assure all dealers of
stocks sufficient to 60 around.
The less drastic approach yester-
day was outlined in a letter from
Mr.. Nelson to Lew Hahn, general
manager of the National Retail
Dry Goods Association, and to DR..
David r. Craig, president of the
American Retail Federation.
Mr.. Nelson told the trade officials
that w. P. B. would give business
men opportunity to bring their in
ventories down to normal working
levels without serious disorder"
Draft Leaked Into Print.
Part Of the alarm in mercantile
circles was caused by confidential
and preliminary draft of the in
ventory order which leaked into
print, Mr.. Nelson said, but he as
sured dealers that they should
"avoid making panic decisions" in
an effort to unload surplus stocks.
The letter follows:
"The War Production Board re-
grets the confusion in the retail
trade resulting from an unauthorized
publication of a confidential first
draft of proposal to limit inven-
tories of retail and wholesale estab-
ishments.
''It was recognized that the first
draft of the plan, which was merely
the preliminary thinking of one in
dividual, would work severe hard
ships on many firms and unduly
disturb the normal flow Of goods
into the hands of the public, and
there was no intent Of issuing this
order in that form.
Consultations Planned.
I'VE believe that wholesalers and
retailers should have reasonable op-
portunity to bring their inventories
into line without serious disorder.
Before any official action is taken,
representatives of retailers and
wholesalers will be called into con-
gultation.
Retailers and wholesalers should
avoid making panic decisions in an
effort to anticipate regulation
which will not be issued for num-
Der of weeks and will not become op-
erative for several months there
after. They should conduct their
businesses in a manner which will
bring their inventories to reasonable
working minimums in accordance
Priority Regulation No. / as rap
idly as is consistent with the pos
sibility of doing so in an orderly,
businesslike fashion,
1T would be appreciated If you
would advise the membership of
your federation to this effect"

Price Subsidy Bill
Expected 10 Pass
Senate Today
But Strong Opposition
Develops to Plan Aimed
At Protecting Ceilings
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Administration leaders expressed
confidence that the Senate would
approve price subsidy bill by night
fall today, despite Unexpectedly
strong opposition.
Senator Brown, Democrat, OF
Michigan. in charge of the bill, said
he was hopeful the measure would
pass today, but acknowledged he
had not expected the opposition
which developed yesterday when he
presented it.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming called it a raid on the
Treasury" and Senator Wheeler,
Democrat, of Montana referred to
the measure as "one of the most
absurd things ever proposed by the
Government of the United States"
The bill would empower the Re-
construction Finance Corp. and the
Commodity Credit corp, at the re-
quest of the price administrator, to
make subsidy payments to assure
distribution OF certain essential
commodities where rising costs, such
as transportation, may threaten to
push through price ceilings.
Danger Of Imitation Cited.
Senator Brown told the Senate
that in such cases it was necessary
either to lift the ceiling, with a re-
sultant danger of imitation, or give
financial help to the business in
volved.
The R. F. c. and c. C. c. would
also be empowered to buy and sell
commodities to effectuate the Price
Control Act, with permission to sell
any article at a loss The borrow
ing power of the r. F. C. would be
increased by $4,000, ,000, 900 for this
and other purposes, while the C. c. c.
would be authorized to borrow an
additional $1,000 100000.
Senator Taft. Republican, of Ohio
believed the amount proposed for
the c. c. c. was too much and said
he probably would ask for a reduc-
ton. Opposed to the idea of sub
sides, he added that he was not GER
tain whether he would vote against
the measure in its entirety because
under the present price control sys-
tenn some such plan might be neces-
sary.
Wheeler Cites Gasoline Prices.
Some Senators urged that the
wide discretion which the bill would
give to the two agencies be re-
stricted in some manner, but Sena-
tor Taft expressed doubt that would
be feasible except through a money
limitation.
Senator Brown contended that to
specify the commodities which could
be subsidized would constitute an
invitation to those businesses to seek
a subsidy.
Senator Wheeler protested that
under the bill the same oil COM
panies which fixed the price of
gasoline all over the country" would
be eligible for a subsidy to keep
prices down in the East.
There can't be any excuse" he
declared, for the Government to
step in and give them a subsidy to
keep the. price of gasoline down. 1t
ought not to come out of the pockets
of the people who can't afford an
automobile to keep the price of
gasoline down for the fellow who
can afford an automobile.
ut is dangerous step you are
taking when you start to subsidize
one section of the country"

 WAR BOARD
Appoints Justice Byrnes as DireCtor of Stdb-
 ilizdtion

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 Presi- dent Roosevelt today named Asso- ciate Justice James F. Byrnes of the nations Supreme Court as Di- rector of Economic Stabilization with broad powers to control the nations cost of living.
 At the same time, the President accepted Byrnes' resignation from the Supreme Court post.
 The President then issued a sweeping order directing the Ma tional War Labor Board to limit wages and salaries, and directing OPA Administrator Leon Tender son to put ceilings on rents and prices as well as ordering Secre- tary of Agriculture Claude Wick ard and Henderson to limit farm prices to levels as of September Is as far as practicable.
 The order was issued soon after the President signed the anti-in- flation bill last night. It created the Office of Economic Stabiliza- tion within the Office of Emergen- cy Management with Byrnes as director, and also created a War Economic Stabilization Board with which the director will consult in fixing policies.
 On this board are the secretaries of the Treasury, Agriculture, Com merce, Labor, and the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, the OPA administrator, the chairman of the War Labor Board. Two rep resentatives each of labor. manage ment and the farmers are yet to be appointed to the board.

WITH THE UNITED STATES BOMBER OM M AND SOME WHERE IN ENGLAND, Oct. 3 = America's growing Air Force un- leashed it's most powerful attack of the war yesterday with mighty Flying Fortresses blasting Nazi aircraft factory at Meaulte and striking at the airfield at Saint Omer in northern France.
 The huge U. s. air dreadnaughts, bristling with guns, shot down 13 of Germany's crack fighter planes In the course of the raid. And at the same time, United States Boston bombers heavily bombed the docks at LeHavre, and escorting American and Allied fighters, totaling 400, accounted for another five Nazi Fockewulfe and 19 Zero planes in what turned out to be the biggest air battle since the Dieppe raid.
 Americans Bag Four
 American Eagle Squadrons, trans ferred to the United States Army Air Force recently from the Royal Air Force, accounted for four of the five Fockewulfes.
 All of the famous Flying Fort resses returned from their 18th raid which saw airmen from 42 states battling with as many as 100 German fighters, five miles high over Europe.
 Likewise, all of the Boston bomb CTS returned to their bases as Nazi pilots continued to find the Amer ican warplanes hard to bring down.
 We Lost Six
 Our losses summed up to six fighter planes. but the pilot of one was reported safe.
 Meanwhile, British secret Mos quito planes, fresh from their dar- ing assault on Gestapo headquar- ters in Oslo, Norway. continued on the general Allied scheme to wreck Hitler's war machine by slashing at the iron and steel works near Liege.
 Of special interest to Pacific Coast residents is the news that the powerful Flying Fortress flight was led by Col Ronald Walker. of Spokane, Wash.

Spec dY Action Expected By FOR on Anti-ln-
 fIafion Act

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 - Anti inflation legislation has been ap- proved finally by the House and Senate in quick action conferring on President Roosevelt far-reach- ing wartime authority to control prices, wages and salaries.
 The approved bill, as reported to the House Senate Conference Com mittee was passed by the lower house 257 to 9 in a standing vote.
 Withdrawing the insistence for a redefinition of farm parity which the Office of Price Admin istration estimated would have add ed $3,500,00000O to the overall cost of living, the bill stipulates that no ceilings be placed on wages and salaries below the highest point each reached in the period from January to September Is of this year.

 The defenders within Stalingrad are also breaking down the enemy offensives both by tanks and troops and the defenders have actually carried the fight into the Ger man front line on the north, the Germans losing from 2,000 to 5000 dead.
 The Germans have been forced back through the ruined streets of Stalingrad.
 A relief offensive of the Rus sians on the northwest has gained the hilltop where the Germans buried over 100 damaged tanks as gun supplements.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert 8. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON = An unbiased study of the Army and Navy leads to the unacceptable conclusion that one deterrent to early winning of the war is the brass hats com plete confidence in their own bu- reaus and their inability to take suggestions from the outside. In fact, suggestions from the outside in some cases have been bitterly resented.
 If, for instance. the Army Air Corps had not gone into a tantrum over the suggestions of Major de Seversky, our fliers might not be having such tough time combat ing Jap Zeros today.
 Or, if the Bureau of Ships had not been so adamant in rebuffing Andrew J. Higgins, the New Or leans small boat builder, we might be better prepared for second front today.
 But Major de Seversky is Rus sian, speaks imperfect English, doesn't care how he offends the Army. Air Corps generals. instead of taking his suggestions, did their best to avoid him. Yet he is a genius when it comes to air de-

YANKEE STADIUM, Oct. - Southpaw Ernie White set the blank end of 20 shutout today, the first of the series at the Yan- kee Stadium. He didn't walk a man. He struck out six and al- lowed only five scratch singles.

Kurowski ad- vanced on Slats Marions single and Ernie Whites sacrifice to score when Brown was thrown out at first on the next play.
 The Cards other tally came in the ninth when Brown scored after singling, advancing to second on relief hurler Mary Breuer's error, and crossing the plate when Enos Slaughter slashed a single in to center field.
