 primarily In the form of ceilings" it said. "There will be little occasion for the setting of floors. In the peacetlme adjustment the situation will be revised. If any wage con. trols are desirable they will need to take the form of minimum ras ther than maximum levels"
 It was also recommended that the progressive schedule of individual taxation be continued, but that cor- porate Income taxes be relied upon less and less.
 Foreseeing 1.-two or three years'' after the war before economic con- trolS can be relaxed, the board pres dicted the necessity for continuing such restrictions as price controls and commodity rationing, with nor nal supplies of durable goods re- turning In advance of normal com- modity supplies,
 Retention for c while of some of the wartime controls will Do inc perative," the report said. "But 1t Is clear that the controls should be relaxed Rs far and as fast as con- ditions warrant"
 The planning board saw plainly tho spector of ghost towns which will result after such purely war inc duStries as bag-loadlng, shell load ing and bomb-loading plants shut down.
 Plants not to he converted or as- signed to standby use," 1t said, should be "dismantled promptly to encourage rapid community read- Justment, to prevent the growth of blighted areas and to make land space available for new ventures for non.industrial use.
 ."An abrupt worldwide stoppagc of hostilities would call for 8 rapid readjustment of the economy to a civilian basis, whereas e settlement by stages would make possible q more gradual and orderly read justment."
 Among other postwar plans of- fered by the planning board for Congressional consideration:
 1. The orderly demobilization of troops and transfer of war workers to civilian industries.
 2. Provision of q post-war con- version reserve in wartime tax laws to enable war industries to lay by money for the conversion period.
 3. Retention of a progressive (graduated) tax structure and broadened tax base with major em- phasis on individual income taxes and less reliance on the corporate income levy.
 {. Federal subsidy for an en- larged public works program, in- cluding housing. transport, urban redevelopment and energy develop ment.
 s. Creation of a national trans portation agency with power over all forms of carriers, including rail- roads which would be consolidated into "a limited number of regional systems" Plans also were submit ted for expanding air and highway facilities.
 6. The development of public and privately financed systems of interconnected common carrier elec- trio transmission lines to deliver energy to all wholesale purchasers, coupled with Q broad plan for de- velopment of water power, power operation and marketing from pulp lie owned plants such as those of the Tennessee Valley Authority.
 A neuf and exnanded federal housing program for rural, as well as urban residents.
 The postwar planning report also was vigorous in its iTslstance that the gains of labor in recent years be protected. It spoke out bluntIy against the threat of mon- opolistic business and upheld the right of farmers to the benefits of an expanding economy.

dustries for crucial importance in wartime and in which the govern ment has made great wartime in- vestments."
 The report advocated that the de- gree of government responsibility and control vary with the nature of the industry.
 "In some sectors of the (post- war) economy" the report said with the endorsement of the Pres ident, public interest may be served better by the use of mixed corpora. tons than by either wholly private enterprise or outright government ownership and operation"
 The government. 1t suggested, would retain partial ownership and control during the post war period. particularly in the industries where there were large wartime federal investments.
 Outlining plans for the orderly demobilizing Of war industry once the present war has siinmered down to the point of permitting this country to start back toward "bus- mess as usual" the board advocated greater inland distribution of in. dustry against the changes of the future and its longer ranged bomb- Ing planes.

in 1914. That shift of power may
