 Executive Order 96S1'
 Amending executive order 959e providing for assistance to expand ing production and continued sta bilization of the national econom! during the transition from war tt peace, and for the orderly modifi' cation of wartime controls ovel prices, wages, materials and facil. itieS.
 By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statutes of the United States and particularly the Stabilization Act oi 1922 as amended and for the pur- pose of carrying out the guiding policies of executive Order 9590 Of August IS, 1S45, and simplifying the provisions of Part " thereof, Exec utive Order 9599 is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following part VI:
 l. The Stabilization Administra- tor, designated purant to Executive Order 9620 of September 20, 194S shall approve, under Section 3 oi Part " of this order, a wage ol salary increase falling into any oi the following three classes in any case in which such increase has been found by the National War Labor Board or other designated agency to be necessary to correct a fnalad- justment or inequity which would interfere with the effective transi- tion to a peacetime economy:
 A. Increases where the percent age increase in average straight time hourly earnings in the apprO- priate unit since aJnuary 1941 has not equaIled the percentage in- crease. in the cost of living be- tween January 1941 and Septem- Der 1945.
 B. Increases necessary to COT. rect inequities in wage rates or salaries among plants in the same industry or locality, with due re- gard to normal competitive rela- tiOnShips.
 c. Increases necessary to insure full production in an industry, designated by the Stabilixation Administrators, which is esential to recOnversion and in which ex- isting wage rates or salaries are inadequate to the recruitment of needed manpower.
 The StabilizatiOn Administrator shall continue to approve wage or salary increases approved by the National War Labor Board or other designated agency in cases in which such increases satisfy standards in effect prior to August 1S 1945.
 The StabilizatiOn Administrator may define additional classes of wage or salary increases which the National War Labor Board or other designated agency is aM- thorized to approve as necessary to correct a malad justment or inc equity under section 2 or part nv of this order.
 Nothing in the foregoing shah be construed to require the Na- tiOnal War Labor Board or other designated agency to approve any wage increase unless, in it's judg- ment, the increase is necessary, on the facts of the particular case, to correct a maladjustment or in- equity which would interfere with the effective transition to . peace time economy.
 In making findings under this section the National War Labor Board or other designated agency shall be subject to directives issued by the StabilizatiOn Administrator under the authority conferred by Executive Orders 925O and 932S or other applicable executive orders.
 2. Nothing in this order shall be construed to prevent an employer from putting a wage or salary in- CIcdS6 1IltO C4ACCL anu bAAC1SS4tC4 0R- plying for approval of such increase under the standards of this order so that 1t may be used as the basis for seeking an increase in price cell ings, or, in the case of products oi services being furnished under con- tract with a federal procurement agency, for increasing the costs tc the United States.
 3. Notwithstanding the fact that wage or salary increase has not been approved in accordance with this or der, the Price Administrator shall after the expiration of reasonable test period, which save in exception al cases shall be six months after the wage or salary increase has beer made, take such increase into ac. count in determining whether ar increase in price ceilings is then re- quired under the established stand ards governing increases in price ceilings.
