dents decision to end all controls
except those on rent, rice and sugar
To Meet Budget Bureau.
The price chief did not estimate
the number to be dismissed at that
time, but said this hinged on con-

OPA still must maintain rent
ceilings in $50 rental areas through
out the Nation and it also must con-
tinue price lids on rice, sugar and
sirups. The agency has large
number of violation cases To con-
clude and 1t also must complete a
historical record Of its five years
Of operations.
Many officials expect OPA, the
Civilian Production Administration
and other surviving war agencies to
be Jumped into a single agency. Mr.
Porter said this action has not been
crystalized as yet" and probably
would be decided by the Budget
Bureau.
The OPA chief also disclosed that
eight regional heads knew as early
as last Friday that most price con-
trolls would be lifted. Mr.. Porter
said he had outlined his recon-
mendations to the President at .
conferences here of regional chiefs
and had coupled with his report ar

President Truman in his announce

John J. PeIley Dies;
Railroad Association
President Was @
Played important Role
in U. S. Tronsportution
During War Years

John J. Pelley. 68, president Of
the Association of American
Railroads, died unexpectedly to-
day In Doctors Hospital.
Not feeling well, he had gone 70
the hospital for q routine check.
His associates said an operation was
performed and that he appeared to
be recovering. They added that an
autopsy would be necessary to de-
termine the cause of death.
AS contact man between the Gov
eminent and the railroads during
the war years, Mr.. Peliey played an
important role In the successful
functioning Of the carriers in meet
ing military demands.
The Government had taken over
the railroads during World War /.
Mr.. Pelley and his associates were
determined to demonstrate that
such drastic action would not be
iaecessATy again.
Planning Started In 1923.
The railroads planning for the
next emergency began back in 1928
| During the preparedness period oi
1870 the Once ct Defense Trans.
| p0rtatio1 wis set up and the As
sociation Of American Railroads
undertook to carry out distribution
LOT freight and passenger cars among
the Line to carry the extra load. The
association performed many Of the
functions which we're under william
Gibbs McAdoo, the Federal railroad
administrator of World War I.
Mr.. Pelley was determined that
the job should be done by railroad
men and that there would be no
backing up of loaded railroad cars
at the ports as there had been in
1918. He was opposed to travel
rationing and his opposition headed
lit OIL when it was seriously con-
sidered.
Early this year President Truman
decorated Mr., Pelley with the Medal
Of Merit in ceremony at the White
House. The citation read. Mr.
Pelley has been an unfailing source
Of wise counsel and advice to the
military establishment on all phases
of railroad transportation"
Proud Of Being Railroad Man.
Mr.. Pelley took pride in the fact
that he was an operating railroad
man who had worked at all levels
from track apprentice to general
superintendent.
He was born at Anna, H.. In 1878.
When he was 81 he got the job Of
clerk In the Anna station of the
Illinois Central. Later he went to
work with a track gang, became as
sistant foreman of the extra gang
and by the time he was Is was
supervisor of the Peoria district.
He rose in the Illinois Central to
vice president.
In 1926 he was made president Of
the I. C.'s subsidiary, the Central
Of Georgia. In 1929 he became
president OF the New York, New
Haven g. Hartford.
He came to Washington as presi-
dent Of the Association of American
Railroads in 1894. He lived at the
Wardman Park Hotel.
