Vatican AffiIiation
lis Severed by Uniat
Churches in Ukraine
BY the Assoeiotsd Rrsss

MOSCOW, Mar. 18.-After three
and-a-half centuries of affiliation
with Roman Catholicism, the Uniat
churches Of the Western Ukraine
have severed connections with the
Vatican and will rejoin the Russian
Orthodox Church.
A letter sent to Premier Stain
and signed by church officials said
that 216 delegates to a church as
sembly at Lwow decided "to return
to the bosom Of our grandfather,
the Holy Russian Orthodox Church"
The Uniat churches affected are
in region which was part of Poland
before 1899, but now is in the Soviet
Ukraine. The letter said the
churches had been brought under
the Pope by the Union of Brest in
1896, wherein imperialist noble Po-
land, with the help of proud, power
loving Rome, broke UP the tribe

or eastern origin, the Uniat
church acknowledges the primacy
OF the Pope, but differs from the

NAM Urges Congress
To End 0PA, Saying
Il Fosters Initiation
by the Associated Press

The National Association OF Man.
ufacturers today called on Congress
to end price controls on all manu-
factured goods, contending that
OPA is fostering imitation, enabling
black markets to flourish" and slow
ing production.
Robert r. Wason, president OF
NAM, opposed years continuation
of OPA as asked by President Tru-
man in a statement prepared for
the House Banking and Currency
Committee.
Assailing what he termed. OPA's
Propaganda campaign to ''frighten'
the country into a new lease on
life for price controls, Mr.. Wason
declared:
Imitation can never be stopped
in this country unless we stop Gre
ating fear in the minds Of our
people through irresponsible state
ments; assure the public that they
will get the goods they want at
reasonable prices by taking OPA
shackles of manufactured goods
and bring the Federal budget into
balance and thereby end the growth
Of the inflationary danger which
comes from continuous Government
deficits"
He termed false" the administra-
ton claim that only OPA stands
between the people and disastrous
imitation"
Anticipating this attack, Chester
Bowles, economic stabilizer, criti-
cized NAM as an irresponsible
pressure group" in an earlier ap-
pearance before the Banking Com
mittee. now considering legislation
to continue price controls, rent CELL
ings and consumer subsidies.
The committee also has heard
Henry J. Kaiser, industrialist, chal-
lenge the authority of NAM to speak
for the great body Of manufacturers.
Mr.. Kaiser said the association never
had asked his opinion of OPA.
But Mr.. Wason said today the
NAM speaks for Is 1000 manufac-
turers who produce IS per cent of
all goods manufactured in this
country. He gave the committee
four reasons why he considers OPA
policies "the greatest handicap to
allsour production:
/. With 100000 businesses to
regulate and 5000 900 prices to set
and police, it is not possible to pre-
vent delays and confusion, with
some prices too high, others too low
2. With some prices too high,
others too low, production will re-
main out of balance, because pro-
ducers will naturally concentrate on
turning out those goods which are
most profitable"
3. Fixing prices on the basis Of
OPA's theoretical estimates of fu-
ture production and costs, rather
than established facts, will make
production dependent upon the ac-
curacy Of OPA guesses, instead of
upon the realities of the market
place"
4. Holding profits "25 per cent
below l936-193s and figuring profits
upon net work, instead OF upon the
volume OF sales, destroys the incen-
tive to try to get all-out produc-
ton"
The reason the American public
isn't getting the goods it wants to-
day. Mr.. Wason said, 'is that OPA
price ceilings have driven them off
the market.
That is why we advocate the
return OF price control OF the Amer
ican housewife in the best interest
OF all the American people"
