 July 5, t946
 Editor of The Democrat:
 I find myself in thorough d1sa- greement with your editorial of Wednesday, July 3, labelled "Jere- miah Bowles".
 When you quoted MT. BoWleS as saying that the cost of living will double within 20 days" you neglect ed to point out that he had quail fled that prediction by saying that the 100 percent increase in living costs would come about if commod- ity prices and other indices continu- ed to climb at the rate they had since the death of O.P.A. Sunday midnight. Figures of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which showed 3.7 percent increase in commodity prices Monday and another increase of ' percent Tuesday, would seem to bear out MT. BoWles' contention.
 The question at hand is not that of the fate of MT. Chester BoWles. It is rather a question of whether we are to have disastrous imitation, signs of which are already becoming apparent, or strong price control program under a workable law ad- ministered by an OP,A. with suffi- cient funds for enforcement.
 The comparison of MT. Bowles to our late President seemed to me gratuitous and unnecessary. am no seer but I am confident that he would have no stronger champion than MT. Roosevelt were our great est President alive. It is not a case of fearing fear itself but fearing a concrete and menacing bogy-un- controlled prices and a resultant in- flation.
 I'll wager that a poll of Waterbur- ians would show great majority in favor of adequate federal control of prices. That, and not MT. BoWleS, is the issue before the country.

OPA' and what the administration line would be on price-contro extension.
 As John w Snyder left the OWNR directorshp only five days before July the report covering the past three months should properly be signed by him. though he is now Secretary of the Treasury But if the report held up long and is written to include for the coming year, it will probably be signed by the new OWMR boss Dr. John R. Steelman.
 The naming of members to serve on the three Council of Economic Advisers, created under the new "full' Employment Act of 1946, may come soon The act was passed four months and the hunt for three competent for these $15 OOOa-year jobs has been almost continuous since that time.
 What the White House wants for chairman is someone Of the standing of Paul E. Hoffman, preS- dent of Stakeholder and chairman of the Committee for Economic Development. He has the confidence of Congress and of New Deal and conservative admin lstraton leaders. and of business men, small business men, and labor leaders as well But thus far ne has resisted pressure to take the 1ob
 If the members of the Council of Economic Ad. visers are not named and confirmed by the Senate before Congress goes home for the elections, the President will be forced to make recess appointments They would be subject to Senate. review when Con- gress reconvened. That would mean difficulties in assurance that the jobs would be permanent.
 Furthermore Congress will have to act to give the Council budget for staff salaries and operating expenses. The whole business is getting off to slow and bad star

vinkle Bill would exempt from antI-trust prescott ton agreements for fixing rates and for many other purposes that approved by the Interstate Com merce Commission. But the ICC would have limited and vague authority under the bill especially in the form reported by the Senate Committee
 This also Is simple issue Railroad rates enter into the cost of almost everything We eat, wear and So this is another way invisible to most of us, to raise our cost of living.
 But it involves too the broader issue of economic control The Association of American Railroads which would be up a sort of private monopoly under this bill is tied in with big banking interests which, in turn, affiliated with basic industries This would create type of cartel that could exercise dominant influence on our whole economy, danger ous trend.
 This aggregation of financial and industrial pow. CT has been active here through one of the most to get this enacted In the closing days of Congress. Public interest is rivited inmedi ate matters, such as OPA
 Fortunately number of Southern Senators led by Hill (Ala), Russell (CiaJ and Johnston (SCJ, all Democrats have banded together to stop this bill Its railroad packers sought to hurry it through Congress to try to head off suit brought in the against the Pennsylvania and other railroads The suit charged there was conspiracy under the anti trust laws to fix discriminatory to the South That explains the interest of Southern Senators
 The Supreme Court delegated Lloyd Garrison as master to take evidence. His report should be ready for the Fall term of the court and decision should not be delayed long thereafter. If the bill fails in the Senate it will be dead and would have to start off again the session of Congress beginning in January.
 It is a bold move to fasten dangerous monopoly the American people.

Views of the Press

ed States Congress, enemies of our way of life may with reason assert that the democracy and freedom of which we boast are pious hopes but not actualities. His constant theme of white supremacy is incompatible with the ideals this country stands for throughout the world.

He's Still Caesar

This year is again permissible for students to broad cast from the National Music Camp at nterochen Mich The Lea (an-Petrio) Act makes it unlawful for James Caesar Petro the musicians union president to ln terfere with these nocommera education broadcasts as he did in 942 when by demanding that the broadcaser pay standn union musicians for these concerts on threat o strike, he forced these programs off the air.
 But appears that the 2yearod broadcast series will not be resumed No network has yet found time for the programs This undoubtedly disappoins Dr. Joseph Maddy the camp director, but it can scarcely surprise him.
 For is evident that the networks still fear the shreWd resourceful unpredicabe Mr. Perio They have law ot clear intent to protect them in this very matter But Mr. Petro has already broken that law order to test it's con- stitutonalty Until there is final decson which will be
 matter of months and perhaps they do not dare 
 And even the decision should go against Mr. Petrlo 1t question whether the networks would dare resume the broadcasts So far the union chief has always managed outsmart those who attempt challenge his to tax and dictate to the employers of musicians It is not at all certain that the networks believe that this has been checked

II had been heavily discounted by

that he would do so, in view of
