Probers 10 Question
ForrestaI on Unused
Plan Of Mobilization
BY the A.,oeiotsd p,...

A Republican, -Democfatic bat
tie over why 1t took so long to
get American plants producing
full blast for the war appears
likely this week at a Senate COM
mittee inquiry into industrial
mobilization plans.
DETECTED momentarily today for
a look into the progress of war con-
tract renegotiations, the Senate War
Investigating Committee tomorrow
will begin questioning Secretary of
Defense Forrestal about a lost"
mobilization plan,
Chairman Brewster told reporters
this plan involved three decades of
work by the Army and Navy. 1t was
capped, he added, by a polishing-up
report made before the war by a
Citizens Committee headed by Ed
ward R. Stettinius, jr,, who later
became Secretary of State.
The Maine Senator complained
that neither this plan, nor any other
like 1t, was put into effect when the
Pearl Harbor attack blasted this
country into hostilities.
Senator Brewster denied a con-
tention by Senator Pepper, Demo-
crat, of Florida that the Republican,
controlled committee is trying to
convict" the late President Roose-
ve!t of failure to do his full duty
by not putting the plan into effect.
Senator Pepper said he thinks
the Republicans are attempting to
lay a predicate for the 1s48 cam
paign.' He said he will be on hand
at all committee meetings to look
out for his partys interests. Sena-
tor Pepper added that he thinks
the committee is stepping beyond
the bounds OF its authority, but
remarked that the Republicans have
the votes to go ahead with the
inquiry.
Senator Brewster previewed the
course of the inquiry with the OBJ
servation that many of the difficult
ties encountered in trying to gear
the Nations industrial production
to war may have arisen because
controls over rubber, oil and coal
were split off" from those of the
central directing agency.
Senator Brewster said President
Truman had indicated at one time
the belief that 18 months of pro-
duction efforts we're lost because of
failure properly to integrate our
production.

Cotton Textile Dealings
SIacken al Years Close
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Fair sales
of print cloths and pocketing were
reported in the cotton textile mar
ket during the early part of the
past week, but offerings were scarce
and business was dull with the ap-
proach of the yearend.
The industry approached the
period for inventory checking, and
some mills were scheduled to shut
down for about week during the
holiday period.
Most buyer interest was centered
on nearby goods for fill-in purposes.
In the secondhand market some
print cloths were sold slightly be-
low going market levels.
The wool manufacturing trade
raised prices on spring lines to re-
feet higher costs of materials and
labor. Worsted goods going into
mems suits for spring were raised
about 7 per cent for regular weight
worsteds, and gabardines were
marked UP 10 per cent. Tropical
worsted cloths were up about %
cents from year ago.
There was strong demand for
rayon goods with offerings insult
ficient to meet the demand. Two
additional producers raised prices
on yarns about in line with the lead
taken by du Pont last week.

 For Lower Prices

WASHINGTON, (P)-A renew ed White House plea for many" industries to lower prices and trim profits went out to business yes terday together with urgings for a long-range policy of "real price competition"
 President Truman's three-man council of economic advisers de- clared in its second annual report that today's high-level economy can be supported by somewhat artificial props through l948 or longer"
 But businessmen should look ahead, the report cautioned, to times when abnormal export and military demands, pent-up short ages, and bad crops no longer buoy up the market. Hence the council said, businessmen now should seek a pattern of prices and production that will maintain stable equilibrium of a high production economy" - in other words, prosperity without booms and busts.
 Real price competition" the council asserted, means the low est price consistent with a fair re- turn in a stable economy, rather

Many Killed In Train. Wreck

FRANKFURT, Germany, R- Thirty seven persons perished and more than 300 were injured last night when two express trains jammed with holiday passengers collided headon at Fahr-Irlich, near Neuwied, in the French occu- patton zone.
 Officials of the Cologne Rail- road said 98 of the most seriously injured were taken to Neuweid hospitals. German police said all the casualties were German citi- zens and expressed fear that more dead and injured might be found in the tangled wreckage.
 Fahr-Irlich lies midway be- tween Cologne and Frankfurt and all rail traffic on that line was halted by the disaster, worst rail accident in Germany since the war.

SEN. IRVING Ives (R., N.Y.

That brought Ives to ex.

not work and could only cause
chaos in American industry.
GREEN asked Ball what hac

Ball back to the Senate also
