WICHITA, Kans., July 21.-
He's looking at the world through
topSy- -turvy glasses-and it's max
ing him a bit sick.
But Fred j. Snyder, 25-year-
old CT graduate student at the
University of Wichita, gets over
his light spells of nausea quickly.
Mr.. Snyder is wearing glasses
that turn what he sees upside
down and cross-wise.
It's part of an experiment at
tempting to prove that vision is
something we learn-just like we
learn to walk or to eat.
Mr.. Snyder's psychology profess
sor said he'd have several periods
of nausea after putting the
strange glasses on, due largely to
nervousness.
In effect. Mr.. Snyder will have
to learn to live "diagonally."

record what happens to a person
when you disrupt his habitual way
OF looking at things" said DR..
II. N. Pronko, Wichita University

I'VE feel that Fred will adjust
to seeing things upside down after
a few weeks.
That will help strengthen the
thesis that we learn to see just
as we learn to read write or eat

AS Probable Controls office

many of the mistakes which
hampered war production early
in World War II days. Specifi-
cally, planners want to avoid the
various half steps which resulted
| in four different organizations be-
ing tried before production finally
was put under the WPB. Z
Initially there was the War Re-
sources Board, and then the Ma
tional Defense Advisory Commit
tee, the Ofiice Of Production Man
agement and the Supply Priori-
ties and ALLEGATIONS Board. The
WPB was not set up until Janu-
ary. 1912.
It is regarded as likely that
manpower controls this time might
again be placed under a separate
organization as they were ir
World War II.
The job of co-ordinating vari-
Gus emergency agencies could be
undertaken by the National Secur-
lity Resources Board. The NSRB
therefore, might play the role
which the Office of War Mobiliza-
ton was assigned In World War
II. That office was set up in May
1943. with James F. Byrnes as
director.

and priorities of materials essen
tial to the mobilization program

Commerce Department.

died the voluntary allocations pro-
gram which was conducted UP to

II the control Office eventually
had to be enlarged, 1t is regarded
as probable that it would split OF
from the Commerce Department.
Then 1t would become q new war
production board.
It is expected also that the ad-
ministration will look for some
outstanding industrialists to head
the proposed allocations office.
Suggestions that the job would
need some one like Paul G. Hoff-
man. Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministrator. or Charles e. Wilson,
president of General Electric. MIR.

he said he felt that there should
be "at least a 10 per cent in
crease"
Pointing out that military buy
ing will increase production and
profits, Chairman O'Maheney said
"We ought to take back in taxes
as much as we can in the general
interest of all"
Furthermore, he recommended
that there should be a cutback in
non-military expenditures.
Attending the meeting this
morning besides the chairman
were Senators Douglas, Democrat
of Illinois; Taft, Ohio; Flanders
Vermont; Watkins, Utah, Repub-
icans, and Representatives Huber
Ohio; Buchanan, Pennsylvania

licans.
Referring to price controls, one
administration official, who re-
fused to be quoted by name, said
that controls are imminent unless
there is a rapid recession in prices.
Price Increase Called OF.
The Presidents admonition
against price increases had one
encouraging result. The Reynolds
Metals Co. of Phoenix, Ariz., called
off boost in aluminium prices.
y The White House said a mes
sage from R. S. Reynolds. sjr., the
president. announced that the in
crease ordered Wednesday was
being "rescinded Immediately" in
the light of the Presidents mes
sage and his address to the peo-
pie. Mr.. Reynolds. pledging sup
port to the present program, ex-
planned that the increase had
been contemplated for some time.
I. White House Press Secretary
Charles G. Ross said that quite
a number" of industrial concerns
had wired pledges of support but
Mr.. Reynolds is the only one to
take action.
President Truman left the road
open in his Wednesday message
to Congress to call later for price
curbs on the economy but they
were omitted from the adminis-
tration's defense production bill.

Administration lieutenants said
they have the votes lined up to
get that measure approved by the
Senate Banking Committee late
next week. although they con-
ceded they may have to make
changes in some of its provisions.

Kelly in Root S Seat

Interior Secretary Chapman
may authorize Edward j. Kelly
special assistant to National Capi-
tai Parks Supt. Irving C. Root
to sit on the District Recreation
Board in place Of Mr.. Root. Cor
poration Counsel Vernon E. West
said yesterday.
Board Chairman Harry 8. Wen
der had asked the Commissioners
to seek an opinion from Mr.. West
after this change was ordered
last April by A. e. Demaray, as
sociate director of the National
Parks Service.
Mr.. Wender noted the law spe-
cifically designates "the Super
intendent OF National Capital
Parks ex-oficio" as one of the
seven members Of the board. The
substitution Of Mr.. Kelly, he said,
raised a question that should be
settled so there would be no
doubt about legality Of votes Mr.
Kelly might cast on board ac-
tionS.
But Mr.. West said today the
reorganization plan that went
into effect last MAY "a trans
ferred to the Secretary of In

officers of the department and
of all agencies and employees OF
the Department.
The plan, also provides that the
