 Washington. March &(UP)- Economic Stabilization Director Fred M. Vinson said today that weakening of present economic controls could add countless billions of dollars to the cost of the war, sharply raise the cost of living and hamper the government in its struggle against imitation.
 The price stabilization act expires on June 30, and House Republicans have announced their determine. ton to revise some of its provisions, including the elimination of Sub- sides, before the life of the measure is extended.
 Vinson made 1t plain in an inter- view that he was not engaging in a controversy with Congress in which he served for many years before he was appointed to the U. 8. Circuit Court of Appeals. He was called from the bench by President Roose- welt to take the stabiltZation job when former Supreme Court Justice James F. Byrnes left 1t to become director of the Oftlce of War Mobilization.
 T am trying to do a job here" |" Vinson said. T will administer the law in the form passed by Congress to the best of my ability.
 But I feel that weakening Of present controls can add countless billions of dollars to the cost of the war and increase the cost of living for our people. It would make more difficult our continuing struggle against inflation."
 Despite Criticism
 Despite criticism directed from time to time against the Office of Price Administration, Vinson feels that the agency has done a good job' from its inception. He pointed out, for example, that without price controls the cost to the government of steel, copper and other materials needed in the production of war weapons would have skyrocketed.
 The same, he said, holds good for the cost of food and other cost-of- living items.
 While he regards as 'in good shape" the cost of living and the wage situation on the home front, Vinson emphasized that constant watch must be kept upon what he described as the movement of nervous" or dangerous" dollars in which lies the threat of imitation.
 Experts have estimated that there will be an inflationary gap of more than $20,000, ,0O0, 900 between ma. tional income and consumers goods available for purchase, during the calendar year of 1944. These "nerv- ous" dollars, Villson said, can be siphoned out of the picture through three methods: increased taxation, purchases of war bonds or increased output of consumer goods.

 Bowles said in his weekly radio talk last night that a study of in- dustrial costs during the present war and World War I showed that t67, 900, ,000, 900 had been saved by price restrictions on military goods. He estimated that consumers had been saved another $22,O00, ,000, 900 through regulations on civilian goods and services.
 That saving alone amounts to $l69 for each of us-just through i943," he said, "and that figure is growing every month"
 To achieve that savings, he said, OPA is spending a budget of $l55,- 100000 a year or per capital ex- penditure of around $1.l4.
