MORE TO COME

They dFCH uCWS items to the American housewife. She began to complain of higher prices last Spring. That was after President Truman's precipitous ac- ton, shortly after VI Day, in re- moving ratiOning from most items. Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson had treasured him that there was plenty of grain for the U. s. A. and enough to avert fam inc abroad. It had become appar- ent to the enemies of price con- trOl and the seekers after special favOrs that Truman would not or could not carry his word-fght for effective price controls through one of the worst Congresses in history.
 His administration weaknesses were exploited.
 NO CONTROLS
 Black markets developed-probab1y worst in meats. Without rationing, there was no effective control.
 Some price increases were granted, but the greedy could not be appeased. Even so, prices held fairly steady until the last all-out' assault on OPA during the last half of June.
 Throughout l943, the first full year of price controls, the index never went above $4.l2 as com pared with the latest all-time high figure of $5.42.
 During 1914, the second full year of price controls, the high fig ure was $4.O9.
 There was slight weakening late in l945-after the war ended, after rationing had been practical ly discontinued. But the highest figure still was only $4.l6.
 Slight increases developed in early 1946 but, even so between Apr. 9 and June II the average rose only from $419 to $4.21.
 What was happening? The faith of the public in the fu- ture and effectiveness of price con- tro1s was weakening.
 There were headlines like this:
 CITY BREAD QUEUES
 LENGTHEN RAPIDLY;
 CAKE IS ABUNDANT
 After months of delay following passage of an emasculated OPA Bill by the House-and after pulp lie indignation over that action had died down-the Senate, on June l2 approved the Taft formula for out lawing all price ceilings which f1SI41 0II v1~oEA gins for manufacturers and pro- cessors-meaning the public would pay.
 And on June 13, the Senate ap- proved an OPA Extension Bill that included the Taft formula and e1im- mated ceilings on meat, eggs, butter, milk and chickens.
 BOWLES SPEAKS UP
 Chester Bowles, Director of Eco- homie StabiIization, who had fought a hard but losing battle, predicted that steady prices would mean a "1Ood of goods" on the market. He called the Taft proposal a ''time bomb," other amendments ''boOby traps."
 But his advice went unheeded.
 House and Senate conferees re- tained the obnoxious Taft formula. They tried to make the bill appear acceptable by restoring ceilings on meat. poultry and dairy products.
 The House passed the compromise bill on June 25-less tahn week be- fore the OPA was due to expire.
 The Senate argued. Finally, on June 28, the Senate, too, OKd the bill and sent 1t to Truman.
