CONGRESS DIVIDED
ON COMPULSORY
CONTROLS QUESTION
,oy Associated Press

Some of the lawmakers have al
ready made it plain they want no
halfway home front efforts. They
fear the President won't go Tar
enough in marshalling the coun-
trys resources.
Others, including Senator Robert
Taft and House COP leader Joseph
Martin, caution against rushing in
to compulsory controls unless such
controls are proved vital to the
national security.
The government has the power
now to prevent runaway prices for
many food and farm products. No
special price control authority is
needed, for instance, to place curbs
on such commodities as wheat, corn
cotton and other farm surpluses OF
which the government has sup
ply acquired under the price sup
port program. BY offering these
products at set prices, the govern
ment could pretty well fix the
top price as long as it's supply
lasts,
