 There was no immediate reaction from labor or industry
 In his address, Mir Truman said that of equal importance with settlement of management-laboi disputes is the question of keeping prices on an even keel.
 Hitting at pressure groups which he said are lobbying to take eff" price controls, the chief execu- tive said these restrictions anc those over rents will have to be extended even beyond their June 30 expiration date, So, he said, will controls on scarce materials.
 Today the pressures for imitation are many times stronger than those which caused the imitation after World War I and which caused the 1920 depression" he as- serted.

 Every day that production is delayed and civilian goods are kept from our markets by strikes or lockouts brings injury to our re- conversion program. Already mil- lions of dollars in wages have been lost to workers.

Areu's s Shoe Prices Rise

Boston. Nov 22.-CuP)-The re- moval Of price controls on leather. and a subsequent rise in price of the commodity was reflected in the past week by general rise in shoe prices of manufacturers in the New England areafi Dun & Bradstreet Incorporated. reported today.
 Orders for shoes were heavy, the agency said. although many buyers were making no long term commit- ments Many manufacturers re- portedly were equally as cautious in placing their orders for the leather Activity in shoe factories increased and employment rose.
 Dun & Bradstreet disclosed that sales of wool in the Boston markets remained low the past week. The decontrol of wool on Nov il, it said, actually affected only foreign wools. Small supplies Of foreign wool on hand for spot sales curtailed any sizeable volume of trade since the commodity credit corporations in- creased selling prices for domestic wool further restricted buyers in- terest in the commodity.

Rx FREDERICK c. nTHMAN

Washington, Nov. 22--CuP)-- Sometimes I think Alice made a mistake walking through the look ing glass into wonderland: she should have come to Washington. Take my hand, Alice, and I'll show you what I mean.
 Into the magnificent, gold-draped hearing room of the new House of- flee building filed the CongreSSmen, the oil men and the Government big-wigs to learn, If they could, what was going to happen to the big and little inch pipe lines
 Into the green-leather chair re. served for witnesses pumped one Harry E. Pollack, a sandy -haired. soft-voiced, individual from Ashe- vile. N. c. He functions now as chairman of the real property re- view board of the War Assets Ad- ministration.
 Not Officially Whenever this outfit wants to sell some real estate. or even a couple of pipe lines worth Sll3.700. 900, the board is supposed to look over the facts and report to the head man. You still with me. Alice2
 Did you study the status of the pipe lines7" demanded Hugh Wise, counsel for the investigating com mitee headed by Rep. Roger Slaugh- ter of Missouri.
 Not officially" replied Pollack Well, did you make any recom- mendations to Administrator Robert Littlejohn2" Wise persisted.
 No sir" replied Pollack, mot of- ficially."
 Changes Tune
 Were the pipe lines referred to your board?" Wise demanded.
 No. not officially" replied Pol- lack.
 He thought he was through. He picked up lis brief case and walked to the back of the room. Rep, Slaughter ordered minute re- cess. Then Wise called Pollack back Did you ever discuss disposal of then pipelines with Mir. Lttlejohn?" the attorney asked.
 -Oh yes" replied Poliack. (See. Alice, we're getting to the point, pointedly)
 But you just said you didn't" Wise retorted.
 Explains Procedure
 Oh no sir" replied Pollack. T said we had never discussed the matter officially. Unofficially is a different matter entirely"
 "Huh?" said Wise, too startled to think of the proper legal wordage. Tt is like this" Pollack said. The members of the board all have of- fices on the same corridor. We are in and out all the time. But We only hold formal meetings on Tuesdays and Fridays"
 And you didn't talk Co Littlejohn on a Tuesday or a Fridayp" Wise asked.
 No sir, we did not" Pollack said. Meaning that if it doesn't hap. pen on a Tuesday or a Friday, it isn't official?" Wise asked.
 Hold Pipes Over Lewis
 Yes sir" said Pollack. That is what I mean"
 He was excused.
 So the hearing droned on all day ard not one word was spoken about
