Amvefs Unit Drafts
Plans for Living Cost
Fight at Capitol

The national legislative committee
Of the American Veterans Of World
War II today was mapping final
plans to carry to the Capitol their
fight against increases in living
costs.
Leon Henderson, former price ad-
ministrator, addressing the group
yesterday at the Willard Hotel, ad-
vocated new Federal agency which
would control prices, wages, alloca-
tions, exports, consumer rationing
and rents. He urged that Congress
have a veto power over this body,
which he called "a peacetime re-
sources board" which would func-
tion for two years. He said new
legislation will be required for this.
In addition, spokesmen for man
agement and labor laid their views
before the committee, which Is now
drafting its legislative report.
Farm Price Support Studied.
The committee is studying price
support programs on agricultural
products, which some contend keep
up the cost of living; more rigid
export controls; reduction or waving
Of import duties on scarce products;
an ALLEGATION system, such as pre-
vailed in the War Production Board,
which would allocate scarce mate
rials required for pressing current
needs, and also Government price
control.
Some committee members ex-
pressed objection to returning to
rationing as set out under OPA.
Forrest E. Keller, economist, Unit
ed States Chamber of Commerce,
opposed Mr.. Henderson's proposal
because he said 1t points the way
to planned economy and difficult
to administer.
Instead, he advocated cutting the
national debt, increasing production
and eliminating consumer credit
controls. He said "the whole con-
ception of self-government is at
stake" and urged businessmen,
farmers, labor leaders and the gen.
eral public to plan for continued
high level Of production, through
self-control. He urged the cutting
of corporate taxes because it is
double taxation" He also advocated
working "for the kind of a future
all Americans want"
AFL Economist Speaks.
Pete Henle, economist, American
Federation Of Labor, declared his
group is getting requests from man.
ufacturers on proflt-sharing plans,
due to the high profits being made
and the desire to put the money to
work. He declared farmers have
profted most in the last seven years
and contended the shortage of ma
terials has held up production,
rather than any factor of longer
labor hours.
The committee is carrying out
resolution adopted by Amvets third
national convention at Columbus,
Ohio, October 2-5. Joseph M. Gel
man, State commander of Pennsyl-
vania, is committee chairman and
Ray Sawyer, past national COM
mander, was moderator of yester-
days discussion.

Virginia Hearing Begins
On Phone Rate Raise
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 14.-The
State Corporation Commission yes
terday began hearing the petition
of the Chesapeake g. Potomac
Telephone Co. for increases IN its
service rates.
A. L. Lambdin, vice president and
general manager Of the company,
told the commission that the num-
ber of telephones in use by COM
pany subscribers had increased 8e
per cent since 1889, while during
the same period operating expenses
had jumped 221 per cent and oper-
ating revenues had amounted to
only 157 per cent increase.
Exhibits filed by r. w. Niche,
another vice president, on revenues
and expenditures were challenged
unsuccessfully by Malcolm D. Mil
Ter, counsel for Arlington County
Civic Federation, who charged they
were not applicable because they
contained earnings on interstate as
well as intrastate business.
Two other persons from the area
near Washington appeared against
the requested increase-Clifton G.
Stoneburner, secretary of the Ar
lington Public Utilities Commission,
and j. D. Bond of the County Civic
Federation.
