.OPAPoIicy Criticized nHouse
 BowIes to PIeo
 For Another Yeor Of Price Control

Washington, April l6 - (UP) = Economic satbilization Chief Ches- ter Bowles faced severe cross-exam- ination from the Senate Banking Committee today as he resumed his plea for another year of price con- trol.
 Bowles testified amid mounting Congressional turmoil over OPA.
 The House heard'a barrage of cri. ticism against the agency as 1t con- tinued debate on legislation which would extend the price control act for one year until June 90, l947.
 Farm state senators also whetted their legislative knives. fingered by a multitude of OPA policies, they rallied around cotton state bloc to plot methods of ending or sharply restricting OPA control over farm prices. The chief issue was the re- cent order boosting margin requlre- ments on trading in cotton futures --an act intended to put the brakes on rapidly-rising cotton prices.
 NevOIt Time Ripe
 Sen. Wayne c. Morse, R., Ore, told reporters that the time has come for a revolt among the mem bers of Congress" because OPA had failed to put It's house in order" He also called on President Truman to give us some definite assurance that OPA Is going to function in a fair, reasonable manner
 The President, BoWles and (OPA ChieO Paul Porter, pray. will come to their senses and take cognizance of valid criticism" Morse said.
 Bowles began his testimony be- fore the Senate Committee yester- day but was interrupted by so many hostile questions that he limp. ed through less than half his pre-. pared statement
 BowleS said that If price control were not continued, the relationship between industrial wages and prices would be destroyed, resulting in in. creased union demands.
 Manufacturers Hit
 He also hit at the National Asso. ciation of Manufacturers demand for immediate termination of all government controls. If that were done, BcWleS said, the country would be launched on a free-for- r-ail fight of industry, labor and agricul- ture with consumers and fixed Income groups holding the boz"

when graduation ended his stormy career in
high-school politics. he was inspired by the
idea that his contemporaries as market
we're not understood and we're therefore
poorly exploited.
Advertising people. he suspected, did not
know how to appeal to teen-agers because
they never mixed with them and couldn't
speak their language. Earnest talks with
Chicago ad men confirmed his suspi-
cions, SO he set out to do the job himself,
and with their blessing.
Last spring Gilbert began organizing the
Joe Guns" or big shots, of Chicagos high
schools into fast mobile. interviewing cadres
Alerting them for action, he sought and got
a survey assignment from the Marshall Field
department store. He prepared question
naires and got them answered by 200 boys
in 80 schools. He asked for their opinions on
slacks. jackets ties. on shopping service and
surroundings. On the basis of his findings,
Marshall Field opened special high-school
shop with everything the boys wanted in it,
including soft drink machine and juke box
