BOWIES
"RUNAWAY" PRICES

WASHINGTON. June 13.-P-
Chester Bowles said Thursday night
that living cost increases thus far
are a drop In the bucket compar-
ed to the deluge which will strike
the American consumer" if price
control changes proposed by con-
gress become law.
At the same time the stabiliza-
ton director declared that price
increases which have been granted
have been dangerously distorted
and exaggerated
Bowles made his comments in
a statement a few hours after the
OPA revised its restaurant controls
to permit higher prices for meals
when costs rise as the result of
removal of ceilings On food items.
OPA officials said the change
means that prices for menu items
probably will climb substantially if
ceilings are removed on meat, pou1-
try and dairy products as recon-
mended by the Senate Banking
committee.
Bowles said a GROUP of respon-
sible statisticians" has estimated
that the effect of the bill already
passed by the House would be to
increase the cost of living 20 to Is
per cent by next March. He added
that this does not take into ac-
count wage increases which would
be forced by higher living costs
and which in turn would be reflect
ed in still higher prices"
Bowles said there is general
agreement that the bill being con-
sidered by the senate would be
perhaps more disastrous" than the
House legislation.

chief, and Paul Porter, head Of
OPA, had nothing to say Thurs
day night. Associates have report
ed them botn ready to resign if
they do not get what they consider
a workable price control bill.
Tobacco Added
The measure as rewritten on the
senate floor adds tobacco and pc
troleum, and their products, to a
list of major food items from which
price controls would be lifted June
80.
1t also forbids OPA to apply any
ceiling price to any class Of bust
nessmen from manufacturer
through retailer-which does not
reflect pre-war profit margins.
Before Final Vote
The profit policy was extended
to apply to all dealers and all items
OF merchandise, and the oil and to-
bacco ceiling provisions were in
serted, shortly before the final
vote.
Even before that was done stab
~lllzation officials had asserted that
previously adopted provisions
would make it impossible to hold
the line against initiation,
Bill Rejected
Final passage was recorded onlv
after the senate rejected, So to II,
a complete substitute bill which
would give OPA a simple seven
months extension without modifi-
cation of its powers.
Also rejected, so to Is, was a
proposal by Senators Gordon and
Morse (R.,.Ore.) to set up county
boards to review OPA violation
charges against retailers.
Rye Stays In
Senator Shipstead (R.-Minn.) Of
fered a late amendment to remove
the ceiling price on rye, but it was
shouted down on a voice vote.
One of the last changes made was
an amendment by Senator Wherry
R.,-Neb., approved 48 to IS,
to alter an order of the agriculture
department which requires a farm
er to sell half of any wheat he
takes to an elevator for storage.
Under the Wherry proposal, farm
ers could pick the future date Of
sale instead Of receiving the price
current on the day of delivery to
the elevator. He would have to
pick his date in advance.
Rises Predicted
Senator Downey ID. ,-Calif.) pre-
dicted an erd to meat ceilings will
mean an immediate price rise of
20 to 80 cents a pound and an in
crease of 40 cents within 80 days
later. Backers of the move contend
it will take meat out OF black
markets and put it back in usual
distribution channels. They argue
that competition will soon take care
of prices.

A native of San Francisco, where
ne made several fortunes as a
real estate operator, Bowes first
entered the entertainment field in
1918 when he built the Capitol
theater in New York, Later, he
became a vice president of Metro
GoldWyn-Mayer and through it
was made radio director of Radio
Station WIN in New York.
Over this station he began
br%oadcasting a family hour and
later an amateur hour. In 1884,
his first amateur hour was broad
cast nationally and the following
year it was voted the most popular
program on the air.
Earthquake Took Fortune
Born in San Francisco, the son

he had amassed a fortune which
was wiped out almost overnight in
the San Francisco fire and earth

With the typical courage, ingenu-
lty and resourcefulness he dis
played most of his life, BoWes built
up another fortune in real estate
before he left San Francisco a
few years later for New York as
manager of his wife, the late
Margaret Ellington, one-time star
of the stage.
Bowes' title of Major was a.

Bitter Charges

the rival groups in Rome. Naples
and other Italian cities.
Bitter Charges
In his bitterly phrased proclama-
ton, made public five hours after
his departure, Umberto charged
that the cabinet had acted Illegal
ly in naming Premier Alcide de
Gasperi provisional chief of state
while ne still was on the throne.
This action of the cabinet early
Thursday provoked the show
down.
With the supreme court gener-
ally expected to reaffirm definitely
the Republican victory in the June
z p~lebiscite, Umberto's proclama-
ton was interpreted as a last move
by Monarchists to lay the ground
work for the eventual return of
the crown by charging that the
republic was installed by a coup
d'etat.
Gen Adolfo Infante, the king S
aide-de-camp, said in an interview
that Umberto would in any event
consider himself still the legal chief
of state until the court gives a
ruling on Monarchist charges that
the plebiscite, which ousted the
House of Savoy was tainted with
fraud. The court is expected to
hand down it's decision June 10.
Release OF Oath
Implementing his statement that
he was leaving Italy to avoid civil
war, Umberto declared he was re.
leasing from their oath of loyalty
to the crow - but not to the ma
ton" all those who had sworn
1t. These are mostly members OF
the armed forces.
There vas no immediate reac-
ton from de Gasperi on Umberto's
proclamation. A broadcast the new
chief of state was to have made
to the nation was postponed at the
last minute, a radio announcer
SAID, because OF the "preSSure''
OF government work. Later it was
announced that de Gasperi would
address the country shortly before
noon Friday.
Goodbye Kisses
Umberto was dressed in a grey
business suit and wore a grey hat
when he arrived at Ciampiao air
field for his departure. Moving
among the small groups of PEG.
pie surrounding the plane the king
shook hands with his friends or
kissed individuals on the cheek.
AS the kings plane passed over
Rome the royal flag which had
flown from the topmost turret OF
the royal palace since 1870 was
slowly lowered. A witness at the
brief ceremony said a functionary
kissed the flag as it dropped into
his arms and sadly carried il
