At one time press relations got so low that trump session of news men seriously proposed asking for Charlie Ross resignation. Both John Snyder and George Allen tried to pooh- pooh the importance of Truman's statement on our keeping the "know-how" on the atomic bomb. They said the story wasn't worthy. Truman dropped the story to newsmen at one end of the Widow Morris porch at Reelfoot Lake, Tenn.

PRICE CONTROL

In a special study titled Should Price Control Be Retained?" Harold G. Moulton and Karl T Schlotter- beck of the Brookings Institution conclude Beyond facture was suspended during the war, the continua ton of price control is mpracticable This conclusion is reached after analysing the supply situation for key products the lessons to be learned from the experience after the last war recent wartime experience and the program for the transition period
 The study emphasizes particularly the difficulty of controlling retail prices successfully in the absence which are possible under the present program. War experience in this and other countries has demon strated that the control of wage rates, the most important element costs is indispensable to price stabizaton" The authors skeptical of political willingness to undertake rigid control of wages in peacetime Yet without such control, price control cannot be successful
 The criterion that prices shall be controlled until supply and demand come into balance is considered to be fallacy" To the extent that prices are suc- cessfuly controlled, the accumulated purchasing power would continue to overhang the markets, even though the positive shortages might have been elm- mated *NWith the inflationary pressure thus remaining would appear to continue price control indefinitely Or, to state it differently Ii prices are set below the level warranted by market conditions that action will to perpetuate the control because supply and demand will not come into balance at that price
 The Brookings study makes no attempt to dis tnguish between the timing of decontrol for various
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-10-19

products except set aside durable consumers goods for special treatment Moreover it is not clear rom the pamphlet whether the authors think that price control should be abandoned immediately or few months from now. The question of timing IS the crucial one. Everyone, including MT. BoWles, says that he wants to eliminate price control some oay' The timing of the decontro of prices however, must vary depending upon the products For many products
 including foods clothing and housing supplies Will remain tight temporarily liquidate our war effort It seems therefore that good case can be made for retention of price control for certain basic t-o-ivng items and necessities during the next few months. However, for luxury semi-uxury or unessential items, whether durable nondurable, price control should be promptly eliminated.

Surpluses for Veterans
Washington PoStl

l (WaSnlngtOn POSt)
 There is both justice and social utility in the provision of the Surplus Property Act that prefer ence granted to veterans in the disposal of surplus war materials These goods can help men returning to civilian status in establishing independent business enterprises Plainly they have earned this sort of assistance the whole national economy will benefit
 if they receive it. The Canadians, recognizing this to be so chose more suitable term than ours for their excess military and naval stores. In Canada, these are aptly called war assets"
 But a genuinely difficult probem-essentially a merchandising problem-is involved in getting sur pls materials into the hands of individual veterans who want to buy them. The materials have to be moved somehow, from their locations at the time when they put into the surplus category to points at which veterans gain access to them. The Commerce Department and the Smaller War Plants Corporation which dispose of most of the materials in which veterans would be interested have, between them only 125 outlets and the law wisely forbids la multiplication of Government outlets by insisting that the disposal of surpluses be through normal channels of commerce.
 The difficulty in making goods available to vet erans is complicated too by the fact that the law grants them preference-not priority-only TOT the purchase of goods to be used for the establishment of
 their own independent business or farming enterprises That surplus Army desk may be sold on pre- ferentia basis veteran if he means to use It Tor an office but not if he merely to put 1t in his living at home. In other words, veteran must secure an authorization before he can exercise ms preferential right of purchase. Even with this llma ton however the qualified veterans are not obtaining the goods they want. The situation is particularly unsatisfactory in respect to surplus motor vehicles for which there has been considerable demand among veterans and which have been sold, instead, to dealers
 Surplus Property Administrator Symlngton prom ised the other day that he will announce new regulation which will make it possible for veterans to secure surplus property with minimum Of delay and give them a real opportunity to exercise the preferences granted them under the Surplus Property Act We should think it would be possible to do ths only by setting aside some portions ot surpluS materials as they become available and reserving them for sale to veterans only It is obviously difficult Out not impossibe) estimate what the veteran demand will be- And there is danger that the disposal of surpuses will be somewhat slowed down by this pro ced,lre But the trouble and risk seem worth taking for the sake of giving real effect to the promise of Congress that surplus supplies will be used to help veterans in their readjustment to civilian life.

UNRRA SCANDALS

UNRRA officials in London are worried lest Congress learn of the extent to which the goods they have been shipping for European relief are being sold for private profit by UNRRA workers. Several reports on corruption within UNRRA personnel in Europe have been held up in London for weeks and not yet sent to Washington.
 What has the British especially worried is the voluminous report made by the U. s. Army's Criminal Identification Division-which has been read in London but not yet officially turned over to UNRRA.
 The situation became so bad that the U. S. Army sent troops into French homes around the huge UNRRA center in Granville to

old custom in those parts which makes it incumbent upon a visitor to spit in the Father of the Waters.
 The Secret Service men, not being in the know regarding this splitting custom, were taken by surprise. One of them, however, spotted the truant President of the United States ambling off in the direction of the river, sounded the alarm, and a few minutes later, four bodyguards were trailing him.
 After Harry got through splitting, he skinned few stones out over the river, found that his technique as a stones skinner hadn't changed since boyhood days, and was then content to go back to town.
 On the way he met two old Charlottesville cronies, Neal Helm, county wholesale liquor dealer, and James Reeves, former Commander of the American Legion. They swapped stories as they walked down to the post office, where they dropped in to see Postmaster Bailey S. Brooks. There they swapped some more.
 Back in Washington, Secretary of States James Byrnes was just back from the most disastrous diplo- matic conference in recent history with a lot of pressing problems tc straighten out In New York, De- troit and the coal mining areas strikes were sen ing creeping paralysis up the industrial spine of the nation.
 But the man who never really wanted to be President was en- toying himself back home.
 Harry has a strong cabinet, maintained one of his friends and he feels they are quite quail fled to handle things without him
 Whether right or wrong, there is no question but that Harry Tru. man got a kick out of forgetting he was President.
 (Note-Finally, alter several tele. phone calls from Washington, Wal Mobilizer Snyder took a specia plane back to the humdrum lift of strikes, imitation and reconver. sion.)

DENVER, Oct. 19-Sheriff Charles Foster said Joseph DesRosiers, 25, a recently discharged soldier, shot his bride of 10 months to death last night and later surrendered to a posse of officers in cornfield in Aurora, a Denver suburb.
 The sheriff quoted DesRosiers as declaring he killed his wife "because her mother made life hell for us" When he surrendered, Foster added, he was sitting in an automobile with the body of his wife in the rear seat.
