 URGED TO PROJECT
 SAVINGS ACCOUNTS

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Secre- tary of the Treasury Vinson asserted today the early removal of price controls would wipe out the peoples savings and bring on a disastrous depression
 He appeared before the Senate Banking Committee to urge years extension of OPA beyond June 30 and to give his idea of what will happen unless this is done.
 If we keep price controls little lcnger-and keep them really ef- fective," he said, the accumulated saving of the public can result in sustained demand for houses, au- tomobiles, refrigerators and other goods for many years to come
 But if we remove price controls ' too soon, these same savings will be used to bid up prices before goods have been produced to match the demand
