ODE TO DUCK HUNTER

I sit detected, wet, and cold,
I'm feeling neithe brave nor bold.
I hear you laughing at my back,
With that raucous quack.
My sock is wet, lost my boot,
Struggling through the mud on
foot;
There's mud in my sandwich, mud
on my cup,
It'll take me a day to get cleaned
up.
But I'll struggle and toll and freeze
my hands,
Pulling in decoys when dark de-
mands,
And I'll hear you winging over my
head,

he said today. He insisted that an
executive order would be sufficient
authority on which to base pro-
gram Of ceilings on new homes, and
at the same time indicated he be-
lieved new-home prices were most
in need of control He added he be-
lieved the process Of attempting to
get new legislation would require
SO much time that it would not take
care of what he said was an i'm
mediate problem.
Meanwhile, the National Associa-
ton Of Home Builders, which this
week reiterated vigorous objection to
ceiling price proposals, has called a
three-day emergency meeting" for
Monday at the Statler Hotel to
which Price Administrator Bowles,
John B. Blanford. jr., National

Administration Is Seen
Still Undecided on
Home Price Ceilings
BY ROBERT ]. LEWIS.

| ~ AkoDASANA 1s LIE W. ACE
Despite five weeks of discussion
set off by Price Administrator Ches-
ter Bowles'. statement September
l9 that he would request Congress
to authorize pricing of new and
existing homes, the administration
today appeared to be still in a state
of high indecision on the whole
question.
| This weeks testimony before the
Senate Small Business Committee
made it ahundantly clear to the
public for the first time that Re-
conversion Director Snyder is not
convinced this is an issue that re-
quires urgent administration action.
1t was also apparent that though
Mr.. Bowles has compromised for a
weaker version of home price cell
ings than he originally indicated he
felt were advisable, he has not aban-
doned belief that they are necessary
to prevent an infiationary move
ment in real estate prices which he
has said would threaten the whole
economy.
What the fate Of his proposal will
be, however, nobody seems to know,
and that includes spokesmen for
the real estate industry. Mr..
Bowles admitted this week a bill
has been drafted embodying his
| proposals but there has been no
| indication from him when 1t will be
introduced, If at all.
Expect Bill to Be Filed.
The supposition in real estate
circles. however, is that a bill will
be introduced soon.
Mr.. Bowles apparently has be-
lieved he could work out a plan
which the administration would
support, but MFR. Snyder's testimony
before the Stewart Subcommittee
proved that so far he has been
unsuccessful.
The reconVersion director in his
direct testimony ignored completely
the issue which has been before his
office virtually from the day he an
nounced the lifting of L-41 priority
and ceiling controls. Thus, OBJ
servers concluded, he meant to re-
buff the Bowles campaign.
However, under questioning, he
then admitted the Administration
would support legislation for price
ceilings if it could be made ad-
ministratively feasible" i'm
plication, of course, being that the
latest version Of the OPA proposal
did not meet that test.
| The plan, as explained by Mr..
Bowles, would Cd automatically fix
