Reduction Of Costs
BY All Seglnenis
By Molcolm Lnmborne, il.

The administrations psychologi-
cal warfare against high prices was
given a new turn today BY an oflicial
assertion that housing costs can be
reduced II all segments Of the IN
dustry, including labor, cooperate.
National Housing Administrator
Raymond M. Foley called for "im-
mediate action" in this field Of
material producers and fabricators,
brokers, real estate developers, mer-
chandisers, contractors and labor.
His statement last night came as
the National Planning Association
declared that businessmen owe 1t to
themselves and their country Ito
look hard at the prices they are
charging and the prices they are
paying and to start. now to bring
down any that are too high"
Responsibility Discussed.
The private study group contended
that private business alone Is not
responsible for the price situation,
but the responsibility "for leading
the county out of it : : Is squarely
up to businessmen"
Signers of the association report
included Beardsley Runl, chairman
of the board OF r. II. Macy g. Co.;
S. G. Allyn, president Of National
Cash Register Co., Eugene Burgess,
vice president of General Mills, Inc,
and Charles E. Wilson, president Of
General Electric Co. The associa-
ton devotes its attention to plan
ming in the fields OF agriculture,
business, labor and government.
Chester Bowles, former OPA chief
and stabilization director, has Joined
the price fray again.
Attacks Sabotage Of OPA.
Writing in the Democratic Digest
published by the Women's Division
of the Democratic National Com
mittee, Mr.. Bowles charged "the
Republican party's sabotage Of price
controls last June" has "cost the
American public $1,000 000, 900 dol
lars in the last 10 months-and the
bill is mounting fast"
He contended G. o. P. leaders II
Congress "aave launched cam
paign to establish the fantastic
charge that labor is to blame fol
skyrocketing prices" Actually, Mr.
Bowles said. rises in wholesale prices
of industrial products and consurn-
ers' prices have outstripped In
creases in wage rates.
Mr.. Foley said that unless price
adjustments are made in the build
ing industry there is serious danger
that public resistance to prices will
force reductions in a manner par
ticularly costly to housing produc-
ton.
Holds Production Essential.
He observed "it is not so much .
question of wage rates, SO long al
they be reasonable" But he added
that labor must justify its rates
with full productivity"
Meanwhile, the Agriculture De.
partment reports that prices o.
farm products are expected to re.
main relatively high," at least unit
propects for the 1947 crops begin tt
be an important influence.
A report observed there is no In.
dication of an immediate marked
decline In prices" although, some
price readjustments are likely tt
occur later.
From January through April
farmers total cash receipts, includ.
ing Government payments, were
around $500, ,000, 600, which is about
26 per cent above last year.

CUT
DODGERS LEAD

BROOKLYN, July 10 -(P-Hit-
ting safely in all but two innings,
the world champion St. Louis
Cardinals defeated the Brooklyn
Dodgers, rs, today to cut the
Brooks first place National
League margin over the runner
up New York Giants to tWo-and-
one-half games.
The fourth-place Red Birds
combed the offerings of Vic Lom-
bardi and Hank Behrman for IA
hits while Howie Pollet and Murry
Dickson checked the Dodgers with
ten.
Both Pollet and lombard were
in plenty of trouble during their
stay on the mound. Pollet finally
bowed out for a pinch-hitter in
the sixth and lombard was driv-
en- to cover when the Cards clinch-
ed the game with a two-run rally
in the seventh.
The Cards picked up two runs
in the first when Johnny Jorgen-
sen made a wild throw on Joe
Medwick's infield hit with the
bases loaded. The Brooks bounced
back with two in their half on a
walk, double, fly out and a dou'
BILE steal with Jackie Robinson
swiping home.
Brooklyn went out in front by
scoring once in the second but
The Cards came back with two in
the fourth on three singles, a walk
and fly out. The Dodgers tied the
score for the last time in their
half of the fourth on three singles
and Robinson's force out.
Enos Slaughter tripled to open
the Cards winning frame and scor-
ed on Medwick's fly. Marty Ma
rion and Del WILDER followed with
singles and after Dickson was re-
tired, Red Shoendienst slapped a
one-bagger to score Marion with
what proved TO be the winning
run.
The Dodgers came back with
one in their half but the Cards
sewed up the game in the eighth
when pinch-hitter Ron Northey
hammered a triple after Slaughter
walked with two out.
