WASHINGTON, Jan. IA - Up
- Senator Thomas (D-Okla)
served notice on the administra-
ton today he will attempt 10
narrow the field of government
price control to basic cost of liv-
ing commodities.
The Oklahoman announced
he would seek to impose def
mite curb on the Office Of Price
Administrations au { h or { y
when Congress acts on extend
ing the sterilization program
beyond June 80, as requested by
President Roosevelt in his an
nual message Tuesday.
Thomas credited the OPA
with doing "a good job" of con-
trolling retail costs Of food,
clothing and other necessities,
but commended attempts to regu-
late the prices Of non essentials
of every scr ption had
"harassed business and created
antagoniSm. toward the entire
utilization program.
The OPA now tries TO fix
prices of everything a person
buys or uses from the time he
gets up in the morning until he
goes to bed at night, Thomas
said in an interview. The price
of toy pistols, for instance,
has nothing TO do with winning
the war. The OPA is. in effect,
trying to tell everybody how to
run their business.
IF they were to maintain
controls on the essentials of life,
and stop there, the country
wouldn't object
Thomas, expressing belief his
views were shared by many
other members, said he planned
TO draft an amendment for sub
mission to the Senate Banking
Committee which is expected
soon to take up the extension
of the OPA and the President S
authority to stabilize prices,
wages and salaries.
In his message TO Congress
President Roosevelt said early
re-enactment of the sterilization
authority is needed to prevent
price chaos by summer"

Forenlen Join
DeSoto Strike
200 leove Jobs;
Production Continues

DETROIT, Jan. IA (P) -
Two hundred foremen at the
De Soto plant of Chrysler Corp.
were reported by the Foremen's
Association of America Qnde-
pendenD today TO have joined
in walkout which began
thursday. A Chrysler spokes-
man said production was not in
terrupted.
Robert II Keys, FAA presi-
dent, said the walkout followed
discharge of a supervisor ac-
cused by the management of
permitting employees to loaf.
The company said no foreman
had been discharged Thursday.
The Chrysler spokesman dis
puted Keys claim as to the
number of foremcn involved as
sorting there were only 125
foremen in the plant and that
100 of them were absent today.
apparently the foremen are
using peacetime pressure tao
tics to try to gain recognition
after the National Labor Rela-
tons Board has turned them
down." he commented.
Keys contended the foreman
was discharged for placing en-
ployes ON odd jobs in his de-
partment when the supply Of
production stock was exhausted
and that the management re-
fused to discuss the case with
other foremen who sought to
intervede. Later, Keys claimed,
the management said the fore
man involved had been denoted
but not discharged.
The plant produces aircraft
parts and other war equipment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-(H

WASHINGTON, Jan. l4-(P)
- President Roosevelt, largely
because of extensive wartime
travels and occasional illnesses,
apparently has discarded his
scheduled of tWice-a- Week news
conferences.
In l943 he set a new low of
SO, thus averaging a little more
than one a week.
Presidential news conferences
used 10 be held almost without
fail every Tuesday afternoon at
4 o'clock and Friday morning
at 1890. The schedule was fol-
lowed in peacetime even when
Mr.. Roosevelt was travelling or
was visiting his homes at Hyde
Park, N. Y, and Warm Springs,
Ga. In those days, reporters ac-
Companied him on every trip
and conferences were held even
even on trains, ships or by the
side TO road.
Only on rare occasions, since
Pearl Harbor, have the news
men assigned TO the White
House been allowed to travel
with the chief executive, al
though he has gone on such his
torically important journeys as
those to Casablanca, Cairo and
Teheran.
Compared with the SO news
conferences last year, Mr..
Roosevelt held So in 1912; 81 in
1941; SO in 1910 and 83 in 1888
when he spent ten months in
the White House. The total since
his inauguration on March 4,
1888 is 929-
Since Nov. 8, two days be-
fore he left for the war councils
ut Cairo and Teheran, the Presi-
dent has met with press and
radio reporters just three times.
He was gone from the country
for five weeks. He held one ocn-
ference on Dec. II, the day he
got back to Washington, another
on Dec. 81, and a third on Dec.
20.
Almost Immediately after
that, the chief executive con-
tracted influenza and was away
from his office for another two
weeks.
White House officials report
he now has recovered almost
completely. He returned to
work in his office two days ago
and yesterday he had four on
the-record appointments there
and at least one off-the-record.
The off-the-record engage
ments are those which the press
Is not supposed to know about
because the White House omits
them from the daily list Of ap-
pointments given to reporters.
Frequent ca mediation of
White House news conferences
Is nothing out Of the ordinary.
Numerous presidents have call
ed them off since Theodore
Roosevelt began holding them
