OPA Says Raises Will Not
Necessitate Increase In
Products Prices
By WILLIAM 7. PEACOCK

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-lR-
Steel workers received an okay
from Sterilization Director Fred
Vinson tonight for War Labor
Board-approved wage increases es-
timated to average to 7 cents an
hour.
Announcing his decision, Vinson
said the Office of Price Admin
istration had advised that this
boost for the more than 100000
workers in the iron and steel in
dustry would not necessitate gen
eral increases in prices of steel
products.
Increase Overdue

that an increase in price of some
steel products was overdue a n d
would have to be made. In letter
to WLB Chairman Wilma H. Dav-
is. Vinson said OPA's conclusion
was this:
''These increases will be made
irrespective of the wage decision.
1t is the judgment Of the price
administrator h a t after these
price adjustments are made h e
proposed wage increases will not
require any further net rise in the
general level of iron and steel
prices.
Accordingly, the wage increases

quirement of the price Sterilization
