regarding the atom bombing of

Ninety Super Forts early today

The Nippon oil refinery, once the

Bow|es Rejects Move
10 Abandon Program
For Low-Cost Clothes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With tacit White House backing
Price Administrator Chester Bowles
today bluntly rejected industry de-
mands for abandonment of the
Governments low-cost clothing pro-
gram.
OPA's part of the program, Mr.
Bowles said, Is here to stay ''un-
less we find something better" OF
until there is ample supply OF
goods"
Mr. Bowles made public a sharp
ly worded letter to an outspoken
industry critic of the program after
President Truman yesterday told
WPB Chairman j. A. Krug that
agency must take cognizance Of the
effect of its act on price stabiliza-
ton.
This supports Mr.. Bowles' position
generally, and particularly as re-
CARDS the clothing program.
Some WPB oficials favored re-
placing its drastic clothing order,
officially M-3Ss, with a more lenient
program keyed to a brighter fabric
supply outlook.
OPA Offers Counter Demand.
OPA countered with a demand
that any substitute program be
stringent enough to safeguard the
program.
As the situation stood today. WPB
still may make the shift, but it
must guard against any adverse
effect in the stabilization program.
M-3Ss, worked out early this year
by WPB and OPA, was intended to
channel rs per cent Of civilian fab
RIGS into low and medium priced
Companion OPA orders
sought to roll back prices s to 7
per cent to 1S43 averages.
Mr.. Bowles, in a letter to Curt
a member of the OPA
Wollen and Worsted Industry Ad-
visory Committee, said that If Mr..
Forstmann and some other men,
bers of your industry" spent the
same amount of time and effort in
the textile and clothing pro-
gram work "as you have in trying
TO compel its abandonment
you would be making much great
er contribution to the national well
fare"
Wanted Woolen MAP" Repealed.
Mr.. Forstmann had demanded re-
peal of the wooden MAP" or max
imum average price regulation, on
the ground that it is unnecessary
and that relaxations already made
render it meaningless"
Frankly Mr.. Bowles wrote, "in
view of the current situation with
respect to woolen and worsted fabric
prices, the suggestion that the order
be revoked is not the sort of advice
that we expect to receive or that we
can follow consistently with our re-
sponsibilities, especially where you
neglect, at the same time, to give us
an idea for a better kind of regula-
tion."
Mr.. Bowles told Mr.. Forstmann he
was reluctantly driven" to the con-
clusion that some members OF the
industry have failed to compre-
hend the Importance of stabilizing
prices, particularly clothing prices,
which at this time represent the
greatest threat to the entire stabili-
zation program"
