HCL TO DO UPTURN
ECCLES DECLARES
TO HOUSE'GROUP

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-(R)-
A possibility that further rise
of 10 per cent in the cost of living
might result from President Tru-
mans new wage-price policy was
seen Monday by Mariner S..
Eccles, chairman of the Federal
Reserve board
He told the House Banking com
mittee that wage increases can
only be justified when they can be
met out of increased productivity
and profits without increasing
prices.
To hold down the initiation pres
sures, he proposed:
l. Continue OPA for at least an
other year beyond the June 80 ex-
piration date.
2. A substantial increase in the
capital gains tax to put the brakes
on speculative buying, especially
in the stock market.
3. The government should refrain
from creating further bank credit,
"a primary, source of inflationary
by bringing about a
balanced budget, and beginning to
pay off some of the nations debt
as soon as possible.
