Snyder Hopes 10 Keep
Wages Up Without
Breaking Price Line
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Feb 18.-Reconversion
Director John w. Snyder asserted
today that the Governments new
wage-price policy would, as far as
possible, maintain wage-earners'
incomes without breaking the price
line"
In a speech before the Economic
Club, Mr.. Snyder appealed to man.
|agement and labor in the automo-
tive capital:
Let us go back to work"
Most consumer durable prod
ucts automobiles, refrigerators,
washing machines-have thus far
been produced in quantities ade-
quate only for show-window dis
play" Mr.. Snyder said. The very
real progress made in converting
our industrial plant has not yet
shown itself in output.
Hopes for Full Production.
Il hope that the events of the past
week will remove the barriers to full
production and that we'll begin to
get the full effects of the magnifi-
cent job that business has done In
switching from war to peace"
In an explanation of the new
Government policy of requiring
prior Federal approval of wage
increases and authorizing prompt
price relief for firms which would
suffer hardship under such wage
boosts, he declared:
I'VE have not reimposed full con-
troll over wages because in this Pc
riod OF readjustment all parties
agree it is' desirable to permit the
fullest degree of collective bargain
ing within the frame work of price
control.
I'VE hope to prevent hardships
resulting from drastic reductions in
take home pay, but We also hope to
prevent inflationary effects on prices.
Overall Objective.
That would defeat the purpose
OF wage increases and would cause
hardships to all persons receiving
fixed incomes.
And, above all else. our overall
objective is to lay the foundation
/ for return to the high-Wage low
price, mass-volume economy which
has been the great achievement of
/ the American system of free enter
/ prise ."
The country is on the threshold
of the greatest civilian production
in its history. Mr.. Synder said, but
"a fair solution of the ge-price
I problem" is essential to the sue
cessful completion OF reconversion.
Without that" he said, I'VE cam
not get into full peacetime produc-
/ ton and without full production we
cannot win our fight against in
f1ation :"

gan. senior Republican on the COM
mittee, has said that while he ex-
poets OPA to get a new lease on life,
he believes there should be amend
ments to define more clearly the
scope OF its authority.
Mr.. Truman, in announcing his
new wage-price policy last Thurs
day, called for extension of OPA
without change.
House Democratic Leader Nc
Cormack of Massachusetts, told
newsmen he does not expect q
frontal attack on the measure to
continue OPA but predicted foes Of
the agency will seek to destroy
OPA's effectiveness through re-
strictive amendments"
Mr.. Bowles will be followed before
the committee by Paul A. Porter.
who succeeds him as price admin
istrator. Mr.. Porter formerly was
rent control chief under Mr.. Bowles
and got leave as head of the Fed

to handle the entire price job.

the cost of living line, where some
price increases will be needed"
There will, of course" Mr.. Bowles
went on. be loud cries from the
now-I-want mine boys. And there
will be sober and understandable re-
quests from many farmers for the
removal of food subsidies"
Points to Fairness.
Saying all requests for further
"bulges" will be based on pleas OF
fairness, the price chief declared ::
There is probably far more fair
ness of income distribution in our
economy today than at any previous
point in our peacetime history.
If we strive now to work out all the
unfairnesses which remain we shall
only succeed in blowing up our en-
tire anti-inflation program with re-
sulting disaster to every one"
Taking note of contentious that
full industrial output is impossible
under price control, Mr.. Bowles said
the record clearly proves that this
is nonsense. Today production
is surely at the highest point ever
achieved in peacetime Unemploy-
ment is at the lowest peacetime
point in 30 years with as many peo-
pie on our payrolls as in our best
wartime year"
Meanwhile. there were these i'm
mediate developments, as an indi-
cation of the battle the OPA legis-
lation confronts:
/. Senator Wherry. Republican
of Nebraska. frequent critic of the
administration price policies, issued
a statement declaring present OPA
practices are the greatest single
bar to postwar recovery He con-
tended that confusion of unsouno

$1,000 Greeks Killed
In Nazi Occupation,
Russians Tell Court
BY the Assoeioted Press

NUREMBERG, Feb. l8. - Soviet
war crimes prosecutors presented to
the International Military Tribunal
today an official Greek government
report showing that Nazi occupa-
ton forces executed approximately
81 900 hostages in Greece and sys-
tematically starved the civilian pop
ulation.
The Nazi atrocities, the Russian
prosecutors declared. were part OF
planned program designed to
smash Greek resistance.
Earlier, defense counsel for the q
Nazi chieftains on trial asked the
tribunal for a three weeks adjourn
ment at the end of the prosecutions
case.
Prof. Herbert Kraus requested the
adjournment on the ground that
documents vital to the defense had
not ben made available and that
witnesses approved by the Tribunal
last November still had not arrived
in Nuremberg.
Il would like to point out that
certain of the defendants do not
wish any delay, but we defense
counsel must follow our own con-
science in this matter" Prof. Kraus
declared.
British Prosecutor Sir David Max
well-Fyfe opposed the proposed
recess, arguing for an adjournment
of no more than one or two days.
Sir David identified the documents
which Prof. Kraus said were un-
available as the so-called "U-boat
diaries" and said he already hae
made arrangements "in writing" for
the defense attorney to go to Lon
don and examine the. documents
there.
The defense maintains that the
prosecution has put into evidence
discriminating portions" of the
documents but withheld those which
would tend to establish mitigating
circumstances and be beneficial te
the defense.

u Elwood Blake never f1irted with strange
GIRLS in elevators He was trihe disconnected
therefore when stranger spoke to him. Five
feet seven with glossy black hair, she had
long p-lashed blue eyes and carried striped
hatbox. Good morning. she said.
Startled. Elwood intoned the proper re-
sponse. He was rather lonely that morning,
weary of diagnosing other peoples troubles.
But then he told himself, he had no problems
of his own He was one of the fortunate ones
who knew what he wanted and did not blum
der through life. He stepped back as the ele-
vator reached the ground floor and the young
woman preceded him through the doorway
and walked briskly toward the apartment
building entrance.
Zoe" Elwood said to the glassy-eyed ele-
vator boy, she's been in the car with me for
the last four mornings. Always with hat box
Does she do nothing but buy hats one day
and return them the next?"
JOE regarded Elwood pityingly. He was
fond of Mr. Blake, who tipped generously at
Christmas and was always good for small
touch, but he considered him naive She's

headed toward the subway, The model he
forgot Immediately, as he considered his days

at his offices and lecture at the university
in the afternoon.

hoping by his diagnosis to prevent divorce.

forward and patted the blondes hand.

a law student, he had been engaged to a
young woman. Three days before the wedding
she d eloped with a trombone player.
The wound had healed, and he'd become
a philosopher, realizing that he wouldn't have
been happy with woman susceptible to
trombone players. There would have been too
many discordant notes in the symphony of
their marriage. He'd gradually enlarged on
this theme until the whole aspect of marriage
was catalogued in his mind like financial
