Reconversion Slowed
By Rigid Price Rules,
House Group Declares
Report Suggests System
Allowing Normal Prewor
Margin of Profit
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A House committee said today
the ONCE of Price Administra-
tion is "retarding reconversion"
through rigid" price formulas.
Reporting to the House on an in
vestigation of the OPA's reconyer-
sion policies, the committee, headed
by Representative Smith, Democrat,
of Virginia, recommended:
81. That oPA formulate and i'm
mediately place in effect policy
permitting commodities to be priced
at levels which In the accepted
standards of accounting will reflect
current costs Of production plus a
normal prewar margin OF profit.
%. That this policy be formu-
lated and administered in such q
manner that the prices so computed
may be suitably reported to regional
or district offices Of the OPA on
simplified forms affording no op-
portunity for divergent interpreta-
tions.
Action on Deficiencies.
"3. That such prices be effective
unless deficiencies are discovered By
OPA within specified time. When
such deficiencies are reported by
OPA producers are to be given an
opportunity to meet OPA require
ments and objections. In the ap-
sence of any notice by OPA within
the specified time the prices so filed
by the manufacturer shall remain
effective.
"a. That prices at retail be ad-
iusted to reflect any dollar increase
allowed the manufacturers except
where the markup on the particu-
lar item is already sufficient to re-
feet normal profit.
IS. That except where monopo-
listic control Of supply exists, price
controls be suspended on any COM
modify whenever it appears that the
elements of supply and demand are
in relative state of balance. In
determining this, producers of such
commodities shall be afforded an
opportunity to demonstrate that
such supply and demand have come
into a relative state of balance and
that no monopolistic controls exists,
6. That the price administrator
review his policy enunciated in the
maximum average price regulation

Gen. de GauIIe Wins
Overwhelming Vote
For Fourth Republic
Provisional Regime Due
To Retuin Power While
Constitution Is Written
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, Oct. 22-France's first
| general election in nine years
placed an almost unqualified
stamp of approval today on Gen.
Charles de Gaulle's plans to
found a Fourth Republic on a
new constitution drafted by the
peoples chosen representatives.
Figures announced by the Min
istry of the Interior this morning,
II hours after the closing of the
polls, showed that Gen. de Gaulle
had won an overwhelming victory
in a two-pronged election which
decided that:
l. A constituent ssembly-desig-
mated at yesterdays election-will
draft a new constitution rather
than attempt to rebuild the govern
ment on the 1875 document which
was the foundation of the Third
Republic.
| 2. The executive power will be
vested in provisional government
during the seven months the As
sembly sits rather than in the As
sembly itself.
All Backed New Constitution.
Official results from 81 of Frances
90 departments;
In favor of a new constitution,
1887 ,Q82; opposed, 554,750.
In favor of an interim govern
ment, 9,582,210; opposed, 4,841 ,249.
The question of writing new
constitution was supported by ali
political parties, but the Commun-
ists-aided by the Radical-Social-
ists-had opposed Gen. de Gaulle
on the interim government issue.
The election, which saw voters
queue up at the polls in record
breaking numbers, witnessed the
emergence of the resistance born
Popular Republican Move m n t
(MRP) as potent factor in French
politics. Socialist inclined, the
MRP is headed by Foreign Minis
ter Georges Bidault, who is, consid-
cred close to Gen. de Gaulle.
Lineup in Assembly.
Unofficial computations, based on
virtually complete figures from
metropolitan France, showed this
lineup in the Assembly for the
major parties:
Socialist Coalition, LAB seats; Com
munist. 143; MRP, 140; Moderate
Rightists, 26, and Socialist, 10.
Less than 20 per cent of the re-
naming Assembly seats were dis
tributed among minor parties. The
Assembly will have $50 members
from France and 64 more from the
colonies.
| Gen. de Gaulle won electoral in
dorsement all down the line. Six
teen of his present Council of Min
listers" sought election to the as
sembly and Is were victorious. Only
Rene Mayer, his minister of trans
portation, was defeated.
Gen de Gaulle himself and four
ministers did not seek election to
