outlined five basic prin-
ciples as the keystone of pricing
policy during the reconversion
period. and said they were aimed at
fullest possible rroduc-
tion at the lowest possible prices to
the consumer"
1T would be folly todeV, in our
anxiety for peacetime production. to
repeat the mistakes OF 1888 when
our economy was left to fino its
way back to normal" Mr.. Rowles
told a news conference.
In connection with pricing of
civilian products which may be
manufactured under the War Pro-
duction Boards new recouvcrsion
order. Mr.. Bowles said we will take
prompt action, either company by
company, or on an industry wide
basis, depending upon the ciicum-
stances"
I'm deciding the amount of in
crease. II any, above the old ceiling
price which is needed by a manu-
facturer who is reconverting, we will
take into account increased wages
and increased prices of materials, =
he said.
The other four pricing principles,
Mr.. Bowles said, call for:
/. Holding the overall cost of
living tightly in check. 2. Contiru-
ing to price products which have
been available to consumers
throughout the war period according
to present standards. 3. Modifying
price methods to ut changing con-
ditions and in line with our expert
ence." 4. Keeping price cortrol ard
rent control as long as they are
needed. but not one month longer

Jews From Hungary
Are Offered Haven
By the Associated Press.


New hope was offered the op-
pressed Jews Of Hungary today by
an agreement of the United States
and Great Britain to care for all
who may be released by the Hunga-
rian government and reach neutral
or United Nations territory.
The agreement was made public
last night by the State Department
and the British government. 1t fol-
lowed word received through the
International Red Cross that Hun
gary was willing to release certain
Jews II the Anglo-Ameriean powers
would assume responsibility for
them.

Of the Jews in Hungary, and the
overwhelming humanitarian consid.
erations involved the two govern.
ments are informing the government
OF Hungary through the Interna.
tional Committee OF the Red Cross
that, despite the heavy difficulties
and responsibilities involved" they
will arrange to take care of Jewish
refugees from Hungary and see that
they find temporary havens OF
refuge, the announcement said.

governments of the United Kingdom
and the United States emphasized
that, in accepting the offer which
has been made, they do not in any
way condone the action OF the Hun
garian government in forcing the
emigration of Jews as an alternative
to persecution and death"
Notification OF these assurances
the department said, is being given
to the governments of neutral coun-
tries who are being requested to per-
NIT the entry of Jews who reach

Fight Facing Plan
To Give War Goods 10
Schools and Farms
Ey the Associated Press.

BY the ASsoclAted PTeSs. !
Proposals to give schools and
farms priorities for surplus war
materials today hoisted a high
barrier in the House to passage
OF one of the Administrations
key postwar plans.
Representative Manasco, Demo-
crat, Of Alabama as floor manager
for the administration of the bill;
creating surplus property dis,
posal agency, strbye for approval
by nightfall. But me conceded that
the pending amendments are of
more than ordinary interest.
Representative Tarver, Democrat,
Of Georgia offered the plan to re-
quire that the surplus property ad-
ministrator channel suitable goods
to vocational and trade schools
without charge.
An amendment to permit leasing
of equipment to soil conservation
districts was proposed by Repre-
sentative Poage, Democrat, of
Texas.
Mr.. Manasco served notice his
forces would fight any such fVnda-
mental changes.
Amendments Defeated.
ITO me, that's making a gift of
surplus war property" he declared.
"It's our duty 10 see that the Nation
gets every possible dollar out of this
material
The House successfully withstood
efforts to make major changes in
the measure yesterday, but amend
ments and arguments flew so thick
and fast 1t was impossible to reach
vote. Defeated amendments would
have replaced the director with
board and would have confined his
term to the remainder of this year
instead Of the two-year span pro-
posed.
Accepted were amendments re-
quiring the directors staff to func-
ton under civil service provisions
and to establish advisory commit
tees representing the industries in
volved in disposal transactions.
Meanwhile, the Senate Military
Affairs Committee went into execu-
tive sessions to put the final touches
on its own surplus property bill for
floor action there next week,
RecOnversion Bill Under Fire.
At the same time the reconversion
measure, as adopted by the Senate,
ran into fresh criticism in the House,
where 1t still is in the committee
stage. Representative Celler, Dem
ocrat, Of New York, led q bipartisan
bloc in a movement to obtain un-
employment compensation benefits
up to $35 week for war veterans
and $25 for civilians for 50 weeks
Evening star., 1944-08-18

over a two-year period. The Senate
bill leaves this up to the States to
determine individually.
Mr.. Celler called a get-together
for next Monday or Tuesday to get
steam behind the higher-rate plan.
He said his group of more than a
score OF members has decided to
form a permanent organization, -
but has not laid out its future plans.
Norman M. Littell, Assistant At
torney General, testified before the
Senate War Investigating Commit
tee yesterday that the delegation of
surplus land disposal authority to
the Reconstruction Finance Corp
violates basic principles of good
government, and for that matter
good business"
Mr.. Littell, under the committees s
direction, put in the hearing record
letters he wrote to William CLAYTON,
surplus property administrator, pro-
testing against an order referring
lands disposition to the RFC.
Order Termed Grave Mistake"
In one letter, he termed Mr.. Clay
tons order "a grave mistake" and
asked the administrator to rescind
1t, recommending that surplus agri-
cultural lands no longer needed
for war purposes be CONSIGNED to
the Agriculture Department with
grazing and mineral lands to be ad-
ministered by the Interior Depart
ment
The correspondence showed, Mr..
Clayton declined, contending the
RFC was the proper agency to ham
die land disposition since much of
the property acquired by the Gov
ernment since the war was for Use
in connection with industrial prof.
ects.
Mr.. Littell is head of the Justice
Departments Lands Division which
has acquired for various Govern
ment agencies more than $4,000 900
acres of land for war uses since
July l, 1898.
Mr.. Littell testified the Justice De.
partment had been left of an ad-
visory committee which Mr.. Clayton
set up to advise him on lands dis
position. The Assistant Attorney
General said he telephoned Mr..
Clayton to ask about this and Mr..
Clayton told him he "ditnt know
there was a Lands Division in the
Justice Department"
subsequently, Mr.. Littell said, he
was invited to name "a representa-
tive" to serve on the committee but
he declined to do so, stating it
seemed clear that policies already
had been determined
