Davis Warns Officials
Against Easing Wage,
Price Controls Now
WLB Choirmon Is Told
We Day Will Increase
Sterilization Needs
Ey the Assoc .ated Press.

William H. Davis. new eco
nomic stabilization director. told
Government officials today that
now is no time to relax either
the price controls or the wage
controls" developed under the
Sterilization Act.
Mr.. Davis released the text of .
letter he had sent to Or. George w
Taylor, his successor as chairman
of the War Labor Board; War Food
Administrator Jones and Price Ad-
ministrator Bowles.
Instead Of relaxing controls now,
Mr.. Davis said. this is the time
ito push ahead" with all the seven
points of the stabilization policy
announced by President Roosevelt
in his message to Congress April ~,
1912.
Mr.. Davis said Fred M. vinson,
who left the post of economic
stabilizer to become Federal loan
administrator, held the line" well
and that DR.. Taylor. Mr.. Jones and
Mr.. :Bowles deserved a full measure
of the credit for the economic
stabilization already achieved.
Assured of your continuing sup
port, I feel we can move forward
with confidence" Mr.. Davis wrote.
I'VE are approaching a critical
day; the final defeat of Germany
Up to now our national policy of
economic stabilization has worked
very well, better than any one dared
to hope. No one can doubt the We
day will powerfully affect the swirl
ing currents of $20O, ,0O0, ,000, 900
economy.
"A person brought up, as I was,
on the Maine coast does not let 60
the wheel heading into a squall.
Every understanding person with a
fair share of the milk of human
kindness will, I believe, be doubly
alert in this eleventh hour to guard
against the tragic evils of inf1a-
tion = -
But we should not relax controls
until we have felt the force of the
impending change and had chance
to check our policies in the light of
its observed and measured effect
upon the economic currents"

ton policy to which Mr.. Davis re-

PARIS, Mar. 15.-American 1st
Army forces today closed in on
the Ruhr-Frankfurt superhigh-
way east of the Rhine, and one
report said it had already
been cut.
AS American strength grew across
the Rhine, the German radio said
the new 18th Army had gone into
action in the bridgehead at Remagen
to swell the assault force to 100000
men.
To the south, the American Sd
Army crossed the Lower Moselle on
a 9-mile front within miles of be-
sieged Coblenz and won domination
of another 10-mile strip of the west
Rhine banks from positions less than
8 miles from the ancient walled
Rhine town of Boppard.
Bombers Blast Pillboxes.
Still farther south, four waves of
American medium bombers ripped
up dragons teeth barriers and pill
boxes of the Siesfried Line on the
Saar front where fresh advances of
the United States 7th Army carried
almest to the edges of the steel
producing cities of Voelklingen and
Saarbruecken.
The bombing with special fused,
noncrater-digging explosives, was
the kind used to prelude other Al
lied ofensives in the past. 1t. Gen.

superhighway. 6-lane concrete
strip which Hitler built for his
armies in the Rhineland and Saar
district, had been cut northeast
of Honnef at the northern end
of the slowly expanding Rhine
footing.
10 Divisions Reported Across.
The Germans said some 10 divi-
sions" of between 100000 and 100000
Americans had been thrown into
the bridgehead. The report added
Gen. Eisenhower has thrown the
new American 18th Army into this
battle"

week, is commanded by 1t. Gen

sions, seasoned with some veterans

The bridgehead battle was still
snrouded for the most part by a
security blackout. Emphasis was on
building up overpowering assault
forces and making sure that no Ger
man counterattack could dislodge
the Americans. The position half
