By the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Feb. 13.-The Board
of Trade moved today to freeze
prices on virtually all consumer
goods.
Sir Stafford Grips, austere chan
celor of the exchequer, told Parlia-
ment last night the freeze, at De-
cember January levels, would be on
manufacturers ceiling prices and
distributors profits. A Board of
Trade official estimated the orders
would be applied before the end OF
February.
Cripps coupled the new effort to
arrest the cost of living with a
warning to labor and industry to
curb wages and profits voluntarily
or face government compulsion.
A government spokesman said the
order affected four-fifths OF all
goods and services covered by Brit
ish controls. Food, clothing and
furniture are among them. Grips
said he hoped a voluntary freeze
would extend to goods not covered
by the controls.

TOKYO, Feb. 13.-Major war
crimes charges against 20 top Jap
anese, including five former mem
bers of the TOTO cabinet, have been
dropped.
A high authority said today
Washington accepted recommended
tions of Chief Prosecutor Joseph
B. keenan, that the current trial
of Hideki TOTO and "a other war

include one-time wealthy indus

Gen. Kisaburo Ando, Home Min
istry: Michiyo Iwamura, Justice:
Zazuo Aoki, Greater East Asia, and
Vice Admiral Ken Terashima, Com
munications and Railways.
Mr.. Keenan's recommendation to
drop war-plotting charges against
the 20 arose from his contention
that the trial of TOTO and his "a
co-defendants takes care of the ma
jor plotters." Informed sources said
also that trial expenses caused con-
Germ. Unofficial estimates placed
the cost of the TOTO trial at nearly
100000 by mid-January. The
trial began in June, 1916.
Mr.. keenan, departed by air for

aides to finish the TOTO trial. He
plans to return to Tokyo for the
verdict. He urged. by indirection,
that TOTO and his cohorts be

Congress Expected
To Reject President's S
New Price-Curb Plea
WoIcott Suggests Move
To Check Price Drop;
Urges Delay on Action
BY the Associated Press

President Truman still thinks
the country needs price controls
in spite of the severe break in
the grain market.
The word from Republican lead
ers in Congress today is that he still
has little chance of getting them.
Chairman Wolcott of the House
Banking Committee went even
further. He said Congress may
have to start thinking about ways
to keep prices from going too far
down.
Mr.. Wolcott took the view that
there will be no harm if Congress
waits a couple of weeks to think
over the anti-inf1ation picture be-
fore it acts.
Rent Listed as Exception.
He listed one exception-rent con-
troll. That should be extended for:
one month beyond February 20, the
date the present law expires, Mr..
Wolcott told newsmen. Meanwhile,
he added, Congress could consider
longer extension.
Mr.. Wolcott said a two weeks ban
on discussions of other proposals
would "let us see where the economy
is headed"
1--WE cannot legislate on economic
questions until we know what Is
happening" he continued. IF this
(price decline) goes too far we may
have to give our thought to sup
porting markets"
But Mr.. Truman responded with
a positive affirmative answer when
a reporter at his. news conference
late yesterday asked him whether
the major economic problem facing
the country is still imitation and
not def1ation.
Furthermore, the Chief Executive
said fatty that the market break
has not lessened the need for the
economic program he outlined to
Congress November IT.
Bond Drive Support Urged.
Among other things, he asked
then for standby power to restore
price-wage controls and rationing
on limited basis.
Hammering away at the theme
that danger still exists, Mr.. Tru-
man told the newsmen before they
started questioning him that every
dollar saved Is weapon in the
fight against imitation"
That comment was in statement
urging all Americans to join in a
new Savings Bond drive. 1t will
open April Is and run through June.
The goal remains to be announced.
Senator Sparkman, Democrat, OF
Alabama said he agrees with Mr..
Truman that initiation still is a
danger and that controls are neces-
sary. But he added he still believes
there is practically no chance Con-
gress will authorize them.
Senator Maybank, Democrat, OF
South Carolina, on the other hand.
said he sees no good reason for
anti imitation legislation.
"The market price slump indi-
Gates supply and demand are COM
ing back into balance" Senator
Maybank declared.
