Predicted as Hearings

Continuation Is VitoI to
Prevent InfIution
B. the Associated Press

The House Banking Committee
wound up its hearings on OPA
yesterday with members predict
ing freely that the price agency
would be Shorn of some powers.
They expressed this opinion in
the face of assertions from Stabili-
zation Director Bowles and other
administration officials that such
action might make it impossible"
to curb imitation.
Mr.. Bowles told the committee
yesterday that if price control were
not continued beyond June 30, its
scheduled expiration date. it might
become impossible to prevent in
fiation
"If uncertainty develops about the
passage of the act or if it is gener-
ally anticipated that our legislative
powers will be broadly weakened,
then production will be sharply
slowed down and this present op-
tinlistic outlook will be reversed" +"
he declared.
New Fears Anticipated.
New fears and jitters.' he said,
might plague the country. Some
Of the legislators said that they
agreed with Mr.. Bowles. They
promised last-ditch fight against
cuts in OPAs authority when the
committee began closed sessions
next week to write legislation.
Others took issue with the stabili-
zation chief, contending that re-
strictions of the agency's powers in
many cases would boost production
and thus help stabilize the nations
economy.
Nearly all agreed that OPA would
be continued beyond June 30, prob
ably for full year, although there
will be some effort to shorten the
time
The big fight. they said. would be
over where and how much to re-
strict the agency's control over

Continuation Favored.
A typical statement came from

Nearly everyone favors contin-
uance of OPA, but there will be

Bevin Calls on Powers
To Abandon Duress as
Negotiation Method
Obtaining Concessions by
Occupying Small Nations
Is Improper, He Says
BY the Associated Press

BRISTOL. England, Mar. 30
Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin
called on the worlds big powers
tonight ito leave behind the
method of negotiating under
duress" and proposed that the
United Nations Organization es-
tablish proper machinery" tc
settle economic rivalry.
Without mentioning directly the
Russian-Iranian dispute, Mr.. Bevin
told a meeting of transport union
members that 1T is improper to
negotiate or attempt to negotiate or
obtain concessions by a great power
out of little power by means of
occupying the country with forces. >
Wants Ban on Armies Use.
Describing the use of force as
18th century imperialism" Mr.
Bevin proposed an agreement among
the UNO powers that whatever
happens we will not use armies to
SetIle our disputes.
Imperialism" he said, must "be
left behind and I believe that
solution will be found and the prin-
ciple will be accepted that those of
us who represent the Great powers
will not do that.
Il think we shall have to leave be-
hind the method of negotiating
under duress, but that carries with
it further step" he continued.
! Where vital raw materials are
concerned, that may be cause of
great powers getting into conflict.
Then, we must establish proper ma
chinery to deal with that vital eco
nomic problem and not by the old
methods"
Urges Agreement on Oil.
Referring to oil concessions, which
1ranlan Ambassador Hussein Ala
told the Security Council were
sought by Russia in Northern Iran
Mr.. Bevin declared that Britain de-
sired to promote an agreement on
oll' and said an agreement had
been proposed to the United States
to call all powers to consider both
its exploitation and use
Commenting on the disagreement
in the Security Council-but still
avoiding the mention of Russia-Mr
Bevin declared that eff there is a
disagreement, that does not mean
you have to have war or serious
quarrel
Il want to see-and I think we
shall see it-an agreement or a
declaration that whatever happens
we will not use armies to settle our
disputes" he continued.
Must Put Cards on Table.
Mr.. Bevin called the creation of
the UNO Atomic Commission a
tremendous step" but asserted that
it would take time before there was
complete confidence"
I'VE must in the end arrive at the
stage when we put our cards on the
table face upwards with no reserva-
tions at ALL" the foreign minister
declared.
IF anyone asks me whether in
the next meeting of the United Ma
tions we are going to solve all this
and get this complete trust I would
be a fool to mislead the country,
but there are lot of things going on
at the same time which if handled
properly will contribute to the final
success" he said.
He did not amplify his reference
to "a lot of things going on"
