porting the fighting in China, but
explained that absence of news on
the military situation there did not
mean that battling has let up.
'The lines" he said, ARE very

'0pA Plans Cei|inqs
On Fresh Fish, , Cut
In Prices Up 10 5096
Early Action Expected
As Result Of Survey
Of Retail Markets

Ceiling prices on fresh fish, re-
sulting in cuts of as much as so
per cent from prevailing prices,
will be put into effect within a
short time by the OPA, it was
understood today.
This will be the first time fresh
fish will have been placed under any
kind of price control. 1t has been
known for some time that the OPA
was concerned over soaring prices
on the fish market, especially in view
of the fact more consumers were be-
ing compelled to buy fish as substi-
tutes for rationed meat.
A study of fish prices has been in
progress by OPA experts, and report
on this survey is nearly ready. Or
the basis of the facts thus obtained
ceilings are to be established giving
fishermen and dealers all along the
line fair profits but eliminating alb
normally high profits.
Representatives of the fishing in
dustry frequently have maintained
that because of the perishable quail
ity of fish, and because of other
! peculiar conditions prevailing in the
industry. it would be impossible tc
place ceilings on this food product
Similar arguments were advanced
by some members of the fresh vege.
table industry before terminal CELL
ings and markups were established
by the OPA
Virtually all fish prices will come
down to some extent, it was learned
and in some instances they will be
cut in half by the new ceilings.
The fish ceilings will not be part
of the subsidy program announced
by the OPA last week, inasmuch as
it is believed no one will Sdffer any
undue hardship under the projected
maximum prices

.WLB Wage Increases
Haven't Boosted Cost
0fLiying, Board Says
Report to Senate Holds
Thot Pay Rates Have
Been Effectively Controlled

The War Labor Board told the
Senate today it had so controlled
wages that adjustments it has
made since September, 1912,
have not added perceptibly,
either directly or indirectly, to
the cost of living burden of the
American people
The report was made in response
to a resolution introduced April 9
by Senator Byrd, Democrat. of
Virginia asking for the report on
the wage stabilization program. y
The report does not include an
analysis of the effects of the Presi-
dents hold-the-line executive order
of April 8.
Voluntary Requests Cited.
In letter of transmittal to Vice
President Wallace, War Labor Board
Chairman William H. Davis said
that the wage adjustments approved
by the board since October 3 have
had a microscopic effect" on prices.
Since that date 966 per cent of the
increases approved by the board
have been the result of voluntary
requests by employers Or bv en-
ployers and unions. OF these volun-
tary applications for wage increases,
99.2 per cent have been accompanied
by the declarations that no increases
IN prices would be sought if the
adjustment were approved.
Only eight out of every thou
sand of the applications for volun-
tary wage increases were accom-
panied by requests for price relief.
Two-thirds of these requests for
price relief were refused by OPA.
In other words, the wage adjust
ments approved by the board as a
result of all of the voluntary wage
applications affected prices in only
eight cases out of 3,000."
Payrolls Increased.
The board, therefore. Mr.. Davis
continued, has been able to make
great strides toward stabilizing
wages without affecting the price
structure
THE cost of living also is affected
by the pressure which increased pay
rolls bring to bear on the price
structure =" Mr.. Davis declared.
He then explained that between
September, 1912, and February, 1943,

are available, industrial transpor-

Defeat Of Trade Act

A Dismal Failure as
House Debate Opens

BY the Associated Press.
Urging renewal of President
Roosevelt's powers to negotiate
reciprocal trade pacts, Repre-
sentative Doughton, Democrat,
of North Carolina told the House
today that any other course
would be a cause for "jubilation
in the chancelleries of Hitler,
Hirohito and Mussolini."
Saying "the eyes of the world are
focused upon this legislative body
79-year Mr.. Doughton, chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee
declared that the Trade Act vote
gave Republicans a chance ito for
ever dispel the charge that they are
isolationists.'
Points to Issue.
Mr.. Doughton said the issue was:
Shall we continue along the en-
lightened and progressive course
which recognizes that our last hope
of civilization lies in the develop
ment of international harmony
among family of nations, or shall
We revert to the policy of near
sighted selfshness which has proved
SO disastrous in the past? We are
called on to decide between a wise
and farsighted program of interna-
tional cooperation and the thor
oughly discredited policy of isola-
ton
After Mr.. Doughtons speech, Rep
resentative Knutson. Republican of
Minnesota, said: The history of
the Trade Act has been a succession
of dismal failures" Seeking to ap-
ply congressional veto powers to the
President trade pacts, Republicans
charged that the act in its present
form violates the Constitution by
delegating to the Executive the tariff
and treaty-making powers of Con-
gress. They claimed sufficient
strength to "recapture" these
, powers.
Mr.. Doughton, praising admins
tration of the law by Secretary OF
State Hull, said The trade agree
ments program has contributed very
materially to healthy restoration
of our foreign trade and it has
accomplished this beneficial result
without Gripping any branch OF
| American economic life
Axis wants Bill Beaten
He added:
Among the strongest reasons
why this measure should be sup
ported on both sides of the cham
ber is the fact that the Axis powers
want it defeated
"They know that defeat of this
bill could be seized by their propa
gandists as evidence of disunity-
disunity among Americans and dis
unity among the United Nations
There is no use mincing words
about it."
Mr.. Knutson said of the reciprocal
trade law:
TT failed to expand our export
markets for agriculture; it failed
to preserve world peace and it has
failed to lay a foundation for peace
If it be true that the goodwill
of other nations may be bought with
trade concessions why is not Japan
a friend rather than an implacable
foe?
