clared, was the Gosset decontrol
amendment which would compel lift
ing of price controls on the basis of a
production formula which would au-
tomatically kill ceilings on half the
entire list of consumer items.
A second, "cost- plus profit" amend
ment, Mr.. Green said, would wreck
price control and guarantee high
profits to manufacturers on every ar
ticle they produced. The red tape in
volved in trying to determine what
would constitute a reasonable pro-
fit" he warned, would completely
paralyze OPA.
Mr.. Green launched vigorous at
tack on still another amendment de-
signed to liquidate subsidies on meats,
dairy products, flour and certain can
ned vegetables. This is a deliberate
attempt to force sharp boost in the
cost of living, he charged. Subsidies
should be terminated as soon as con-
ditions permit, Mr.. Green granted
but this should be done gradually and
without severe penalties to the ma
tion's consumers.
"By extending price control for
one year without these crippling
amendments, Congress will not per-
petuate government regulation indefi-
nitely," Mr.. Green said. eff it per-
mits OPA to let go gradually, in
stead of all at once, it will make the
termination of controls more orderly
and will make more certain that reg
ulation will end sooner.
"The OPA has not clung to the es-
tablished controls just for the sake of
control. Since VI Day it has been
lifting numerous controls, often more
rapidly than we believe is safe.
"On behalf of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, and in the name of
the future prosperity of the entire
nation, l call upon the Senate to pro-
tect the American people from dis
aster by continuing OPA for one
year."

Green Urges Senate To Kill OPA death" Charges AS
Passed By The House

Washington, D. C.-AFL President
William Green forcefully appealed to
the U. S. Senate to protect the earn
ings Of the nations workers from con-
scienceless profiteering by extending
OPA for another year without Grip
ping amendments.
Denouncing the action of the House
in approving amendments sponsored
by the "price control death-lobby," Mr.
Green told the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee:
81 plead with the Senate to reject
these amendments promptly and un-
hesitatingly. Hesitation will only breed
chaos. Delay will only multiply con-
fusion.
every day of postponement of the
decision will help the profiteer and
hearten the speculator. If the Sen
ate defers it's final decision until the
last minute, it may be too late-Con-
gress will already have embarked the
nation upon a journey into economic
chaos"
Declaring he spoke for $4,000, ,000
Americans-the 100000 members Of
the AFL and their families Mr.,
Green painted frightening picture
Of what may happen to wage earners
if price control is suddenly tossed out
the window.
Experience with the removal of
price controls to date is replete with
examples of what would happen if
the Congress legislated the OPA out
Of existence now," he said. "There
are dozens Of items already decon-
trolled Oh which prices have jumped
as much as 100 percent in matter
of days.
eff the lid is taken off prematurely,
this upward movement would be
widespread and the cost Of living
would swiftly rise. That rise Amer
ica cannot afford and Congress must
not permit"
Mr.. Green emphasized that the
AFL does not favor permanent price
control. But termination of controls
must be an orderly rehabilitation,
not a haphazard stampede" he insist
ed. He warned that the OPA has been
moving too fast in relaxing controls,
citing the fact that it has granted 200
industry wide increases since We Day
in order to spur production and has
allowed price adjustments to 10000
business firms.
The "most dangerous" amendment
passed by the House, Mr.. Green de-

and reaches territory not now serviced
by any bus lines nor railroads, direct
ly connecting these towns with Day
ton, it was said.
The line, to be known as an ex-
tension of the Middletown- Oxford
route, would run from Oxford north
through Morning Sun on State Route
1872, connecting with State Route 725
through Camden to Gratis, where a
series of county roads would be used
the remainder of the way to Dayton.
From Gratis roads would include
what is known as the Lower Liberty
Road, the Diamond Mill, the Farms
vile and the Liberty, to State Route
A, which goes directly into Dayton.
Two trips would be made daily from
Oxford to Dayton, according to the
schedule filed with the commission.
Dayton-bound busses would leave OK
ford at a. m. and 2:30 p. M, arriv-
ing in Dayton an hour and 45 minutes
later. Buses would leave Dayton for
Oxford at II a. m. and $3.50 p. m.
Eighteen-passenger busses would be
used, officials said. The rate schedule
calls for one-way fares; round trips,
and 10-ride commuter books.
A hearing on the proposed route
probably will be held in about four
weeks, according to usual procedure.

LaGuardia MakesP Plea
For World Food Board
AtCopenhagenP Farley.
BY tho Associated Press


COPENHAGEN, Sept. 5.-UNRRA
Director General F. H. La Guardia
made a fervent plea to the United
Nations Food and Agricultural Or
ganization today for immediate ac-
ton to set up a world food board
and said price stabilization will put
every gambling grain exchange out
Of business in Chicago. Winnipeg,
Liverpool or wherever it is"
Mr.. La Guardia, making his plea
on the basis Of lifting living stand
ards of farmers of the world, said
1t was impossible to eliminate price
fluctuations of commodities with
out disturbing trade practices.
Mr.. La Guardia brought an
UNRRA council resolution to r. A.
O., asking that organization to
consider special problems of lib
Grated countries with the view of
providing maximum technical as
sistance in the expeditions estab-
lishment of their agricultural pro-
duction."
Offers UNRRA Staff.
He said the liberated countries
had lost lover $500, 900 draft ami
mails and 5000, 600 cattle and that
10000, 900 acres of arabic land are
not in cultivation because of lack
Of machinery and fertilizers, draft
animals, seed and manpower."
Mr.. La Guardia offered everything
UNRRA has in the way of staff
and experience to do the suggested
work in liberated countries.
I'VE know that peasants and
farmers have been exploited since
time immemorial in every country
of the world, including my own,
Mr.. La Guardia said.
I'm my own country, farmers for
over 125 years have been working
under diSadvantageous conditions
selling their crops in a world market
and living and buying in a domestic
protected market. We want to
bring the standard of the farmer OF
other countries up, and we refuse to
bring the standard of our farmers
down."
Mr.. La Guardia said a world food
board should not be an independent
organization but should be in F.
A. o.
Laments Russia's Absence.
He lamented the fact that Russia
was unrepresented at F.. A. o. and
said Argentina, which has an OBJ
server, the Ukraine and Soviet Rus
sia, which have no representation
should be members.
Mr.. La Guardia said he believed
the Soviet government did not under
stand the aims of F. A. o.
ut would be funny If the rest OF
the world were producing food for
need and the U. S. S. r. followed the
old system of producing food for
profit" Mr. La Guardia said.
He made the first suggestion for a
world food board to control export.
He proposed that price fluctuations
of commodities be eliminated alto
gether and that world food board
purchase surpluses in cooperating
countries over the needs of the peo-
pie for food, feed and beverages. The
food board then would be the only
exporting agency, and every country
needing product like wheat would
be able to give something in return
for that surplus product.
Mr.. La Guardia said he figured
$3.50, 900 900 would be q sufacient
fund to start operations. He said
surplus stocks held by the board

no use trying to gloss over this. It's
no use saying We are not going to
interfere with free exchange and
free sales If you do what is needed
you will interfere. and you will put
every gambling grain exchange out
of business in Chicago. in Winnipeg,
in Liverpool or wherever 1t exists.
Let us be very frank about this.
You cannot have both stability in
Evening star., 1946-09-05

prices and security for farmers as
well as fluctuations in prices
Mr.. La Guardia said that under
some previous food plans, farmers
did not benefit from purchases
which government bodies made
from merchants after the farmer
had sold his product.
MY recommendation, therefore,
Evening star., 1946-09-05

Is that the prices be fixed at the
time the seeds are planted so that
the farmer will get what he needs
in the way Of stability and there
viii be no reason for the continu-
ance Of the exchange" he said.
