|0PA Economists Say
Pay Boost Need Not
Raise Price Levels
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Once of Price Administration
economists said today they believe
reconversion prices can be held to
1912 levels in many cases even If
the War Labor Boards Little
Steel" wage formula Is cracked.
For the second time in a week. a
WLB panel held yesterday that the
President has the power to modify
wage controls, stating that, the Lit
tie Steel" wage ceiling can be broken
to keep earnings abreast of the cost
Of living.
The OPA goal OF prices OF more
than two years ago on commodities
to be returned to production can be
achieved, OPA economists say, ii
wage increases allowed do no more
than compensate for loss of over
time pay when the 48-hour week Is
abandoned.
Bowles Declines Comment.
A more substantial boost would be
another story, an offlcial of the
agency SalQ To-Day.
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles has said that q number of
manufacturers have indicated they
expect to put 1912 price tags on
consumer goods produced when Ger
many is defeated. 1t is not known
whether these plans take into con-
sideration possible wage adjust
ment. Mr.. Bowles has declined to
comment on the pay issue.
The WLB panel did not recon-
mend the 17-cent hourly wage in
crease demanded by the CIO United
Electrical, Radio and Machine
Workers, but said it could be granted
and cited surveys showing the cost
OF living has gone up beyond the
Little Steel barrier freezing salaries
at IS per cent above the level OF
January, 1941. A week ago another
panel which reviewed a wage hike
asked by CIO steel workers made
similar findings.
Could Absorb Increase.
Mentioning no industries speci-
fically. OPA economists say a num-
ber OF manufacturers probably could
absorb the cost of q wage increase
to counterbalance elimination Of
premium pay, and still make a
profit at early 1912 prices.
They say that in the case of
steelworkers, whose petition for a
higher wage is being studied by the
WLB, 1t has been estimated a pay

increase Of about per cent would
be within these limits.
Manufacturers OF consumer dur-
able goods, 1t was held, probably
could absorb moderate wage In
crease. since prices Of metals have
been held fairly stable during the
war and are likely to continue un-
der ceilings during reconversion.
Other cost-saving factors are tech
noligical improvements and devel-
opment Of high production rates.

SIXTEEN years in the White

welt would just about finish off

which we lived when he took
office in 1888, but even though

ices undoubtedly would give him

gress had better find some way
to let them have their say.
In thus n o m in ing Gov.
Dewey l am anticipating the

suppose nobody is going to dis

CONGRESS had better find a
~ way to let these people vote
because they would be awful
sore at Congress if not. In the
event that Dewey was elected
by a strict home-guard vote he
would take office under a handi-
cap Of resentment and suspicion
in the fighting forces and his
authority and prestige as COM
mander in chief would be badly
impaired.
There is some dissatisfaction
with the conduct OF the home
guard already, mostly because of
the strikes. However, in their
immediate view, John l.. Lewis

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81 49, So
w much political nonsense has
been heaped upon the soldier
vote question. II is practically
impossible 10 find the solid facts.
The administration seems 10
have won a publicity conflict on
the issue II has managed TO
build up the popular notion that
IT'S federal measure is soldier,
vote bill. while the opposition
State-voting measure would pre-
vent soldiers from voting.
THE truth is no man in public
Il life in any quarter would
dare oppose the right of the
soldier to vote. The only ques-
ton on both sides is how TO
make the most of it for your
side.
What most Republicans fear
is that War Secretary Stimson
and-Nayy Secretary Knox viii
build up A fourth term drive
for Mr.. Roosevelt in the army
and navy and run away with the
bulk of the 100000 votes
involved.
Stlmson and Knox are both
Republicans, but have allied
themselves TO the Roosevelt
cause as cabinet members and,
therefore, are personally inter-
eSted i'm having the President
reelected 10 continue their Jobs.
Apparently what the adminis-
tration fears is handling of the
vote by the states where Re-
publican or anti-admlnistration
governors are in control.
