Keep Price Controls ~EccLeS < Wage Increases q Should Be Taken
 Out of Profits

Washington, Feb. 25-CUP)-Fed- eTal Reserve Board Chairman Mar riner s. Eccles told the House Bank ing Committee today that in the present economic situation wage in- creases are justifiable only if paid out of profits, without price in- creases.
 He said it would be highly dan- gerous to remove price controls in an effort to increase production, as some groups. including the Nation al Association of Manufacturers, have proposed.
 ITO argue against all price con- trols," Eccles said, "is like arguing against all vaccination; that it is better to contract smallpox and take 8 chance on recovering from it rather than to take preventative measures"
 Eccles testified at committee hearings on extending price and rent controls beyond the present June 90 expiration date.
