collapse"
 Green told the House Banking Committee that Q firm commitment by Congress Co extend price control until July 1, l94S, would enable us to look upon that date as a date for termination of the wartime price control for all time"
 The committee is considering a bill to extend price control year be- yond the present June 90 expiration date.
 Unless this measure Of necessary regulation is provided now, with the view to its gradual elimination, Aln- erica must face the alternative of even more far reaching government tai regulation which we will bring upon ourselves if We permit the forces of imitation to bring us to the brink of collapse" Green said,
 Green said he was not giving blanket endorsement to the entire economic stabilisation program as it now stands, He said the gov- ernment'S staoilization policy is Q patchwork of conflicting decisions. 1" Careful restudy and rethinking are necessary to arrive at sound re- vision of the program in its en- tirety," he said,
 The AFL chief, saying he repres. ented g million workers, expressed belief that subsidies would be nec- eSsary to hold down food prices. He urged the committee to reject all amendments designed to weaken eff fective price control administration and enforcement.
 He acknowledged that the people are tired of the emergency and tired of controls that regulated them dur ing the war, and that they were looking forward to peacetime liber- ties and free way of life.
 But" he said, They are also frightened-by the brazen display of financial and political pressure eXerted upon their government in a reckless and irresponsible drive to destroy price control and profit from its destruction at the expense of the mass of the people"
 He said the people also are frightened at the prospect of the feverish runaway price boom which is already close upon them" and by the ''specter of the next depression which will follow swiftly and in- evitably, if we don't prevent the runaway boom and thus invite the collapse it will precipitate."

WooIen PIun Faces Change

Springfield, Mass. March 27- GUP)-A recapitalization plan de. signed to wipe out back dividends of S58.50 on preferred stock is be- ing considered by directors of the American woolen Company, Presi- dent Moses Pendleton disclosed to- day.
 Pendleton told the annual meet ing of stockholders that the plan may be revised before it is sub mitted to stockholders.
 He said that the plan provides that for each share of $7 cumu- lative noncallable preferred stock a share of callable cumulative preferred stock, convertible into two shares of common stock would be given. The stockholcter also would receive 30-year per cent debentures worth $50 and S8.5O a share in cash.
 Pendleton said the company is seeking a ruling from the Internal Revenue commissioner as to wheth- CT the plan is taxable and whether the receipt of new stock debentures would constitute taxable income to holders of preferred stock who make the exchange.
 The company's general counsel, Robert II. Montgomery of Boston, said that it might be three or four weeks before a ruling from Wash ington on the taxaoility angle could be obtained.
 Pendleton announced that un- filled orders had increased by saO .s4i 900 since the end of the year and that untitled orders to date total s84.O4l 900. He said that pro- duction has increased 10 per cent since the end of l945 and may in- crease as there is every indication to justify capacity production this wear"
