pattern set in other industries in
the spring.
Three Factors Listed.
At the Commerce Department
some economists see at least three
factors which may jack up prices
and business activity in August and
September. They mention:
/. The full impact of the spring
and summer wage raises-not merely
in coal, but in the steel, auto. tele-
pnone, maritime and other indus
tries-will show up by then in the
form of greater buying power and
heightened demand for goods.
2. The cash payment of veterans
terminal leave bonds may put over
a billion dollars of spending money
in veterans pockets in September.
3. Controls on consumer credit
the one third down and 15-month
payment rules-may be lifted in
August, thereby enlarging every
bodys credit resources for the pur-
chase of autos, refrigerators, wash
ing machines and other goods.
Credit Curb Extension Urged.
The bond and credit actions de-
pend on Congress.
The House already has voted, 1856
to O, for the cash redemption of
the GI bonds.
AS to credit curbs. Federal Reserve
Board Chairman Mariner S. Eccles
has indicated he will lift them soon
after Congress adjourns late this
month unless he gets statutory au-
thority for further control. Con-
gress now seems unlikely to give it.
The Senate Banking Committee
yesterday recommended extension
of credit controls on a more liberal
basis through next December 81,
but the House Banking Committee
has voted to eliminate such controls.
The controls have been main
tained under presidential execu-
tive order based on war powers.
National income payments to indi-
viduals which are regarded as a
yardstck of prosperity, are already
az d lCCOlo pCoh dlIO may ~ .
New Raises Still to Be Felt.
In MAY. when the average weekly
wage of factory workers rose about
per cent, the income payments hit
their last-reported annual rate of
$178 900 900 900. The statisticians say
that the more recent pay increases
are still to be felt.
There are some counter-infation-
ary influences.
With most industries now over the
hurdle of wage disputes. uninter-
rupted production can better the
supply OF goods for sale. Exports
may fall off late this year as foreign
countries run low on dollars. and
this may curtail factory production
End of the harvest season will bring
unemployment to many farm and
cannery workers.
But on the theory that imitation
is the problem of the moment, Mr.
Truman's message is expected to
repeat his plea that industry dig in
its heels against further price ad-
vances and if possible cut prices VOL
unfairly.
The report is also expected to re-
new the White House argument
against income tax reduction under
the revamped Knutson bill which
now carries an effective date of
January l instead of July l.
In view of the outlook, Mr.. Tru-
man probably will find it possible
to argue that this is still "the wrong
time" to legislate tax cuts, even if
they take effect six months hence.

Senators Ask Probe
OF Housing Shortage
BY the Assoeioted Press

| A full investigation of the housing
shortage and building costs was de-
manded Yesterday by Senator's Rev.
ercomb. Republican, of West Vir-
ginia and Mccarthy, Republican, OF
Wisconsin.
The spending of Sl50,000 on an "A
to T. review of the Nations housing
situation was suggested by the two
Senators in a resolution.
The study would be undertaken
by a l4-member committee drawn
rom both the House and Senate
with report to be given to Con-
gress by March Is.
Asked what the major purpose OF
the resolution is, Senator Mccarthy
told a reporter:
You've got hell of a job getting
a house. That's a big enough rea-
son."
Senator Revercomb said the in-
quiry would be substantial step
toward revealing and solving one
of the most difficult problems giving
the public trouble today-the build
ing and the high cost of homes"
Senator Mccarthy said he favors
deferring any action by Congress
on long-range housing program
until the proposed joint committee
makes its study. This applies. he
added, to the Wagner -Ellender-Taf
bill designed to encourage construc-
ton of $1,000 900 new homes by 1s4S.
This bill has been cleared for Sem
ate action, but the prospect for
any before adjournment is dim. .
Senator Mccarthy said the joint
committee should investigate, among
other things, the high cost and the
shortage of materials. the high cost
of new homes and the extent TO
which archaic building codes con-
tribute to the existing shortage and
excessive cost of housing"

legislation calling for creation Of a
special five-member House commit
tee to investigate "all the facts" of
the case of Serge Rubenstein, New
York financier convicted OF draft
evasion.
Terming Rubenstein's case lone
of the most shocking in the entire
history of our country" Mr.. Buck
declared in a House speech: I
while American boys suffered
and died, Serge Rubenstein was
mulcting millions of dollars from
American investors. He utilized
those ill-gotten gains to hire highly
placed and high-priced lawyers to
exempt him from battle by be-
fuddling, delaying and defeating the
draft law"
Two Resolutions Introduced.

tions on June "a directing the State
and Justice Departments to turn
over to the House Judiciary Com

Mr.. Walter said that on the con-
trary he found the man in cell

performing the most menial job
