MORE GOVERNMENT
CONTROLS ARE OFF

Washington - Two additional
steps to iquidate more Govern
ments controls were taken.
The Civilian Production Ad-
ministration strapped its low
cost clothing regulations.
The Office of Price Administra-
ton threw its liquidation machin-
cry into high gear, with plans to
trim its payroll from about a.
600 to no more than $1,000 by the
end of November. District offices
will be reduced to branch units
Although it expects to have lit
tie to do. the Price Decontrol
Board will stay open for business,
at President Truman's request.
Removed of Price controls last
week left the board jurisdiction
over only sugar and rice prices.
Rents are not under its jurisdic-
ton.
In doing away with its low-cost
clothing orders, the CPA said lack
of price controls made the pro-
gram unavoidable.
The regulation required mills
to set aside certain percentages
of their production of various fab
RIGS to be sold only to manufac-
turers who agreed to make low
cost clothing from them.
