Wage Controls Tied
To Price Controls

some power the authorization is
usually carried out sooner or later
with the least resistance possible.
Farm Bureau thinking prevailed
when the compromise provided that
if-it ever becomes necessary to apply
price controls on a farm commodity,
the administration must go all the
way and slap controls on farm pro-
duction prices, too.

BOX CAR SHORTAGE

With railway freight pushing
up toward World war 2 levels.
government may take steps TO
do something about a develop
ing shortage of box cars.
One likelihood is demurrage-
rental paid by shippers or receivers
of freight if they keep freight cars
idle beyond certain limited periods.
By raising these rates, interstate
commerce commission could en-
courage faster loading and unload
ing, and therefore greater use of the
existing car supply.
In World war 2, the I. c. C, or
dered heavier loading of cars, but
the agency contends. it doesn't have
the staff to do this job now.
Chairman j. Monroe of the I. c. c.
has warned many times that freight
cars would be one of the worst
bottlenecks in another war.

FB VIEWPOINT PREVAILS

Long and spirited congress
sional debate on the anti-in-
flation legislation once again
pinpointed chronic differences
between Secretary of Agricul-
ture Charles r. Brannan and the
potent American Farm Bureau
federation.
Through its president, Allan B.
Kline, Farm Bureau along with some
other farm organizations strongly
urged that the president be required
to apply controls on an ''across the
board" basis if controls became nee
essary.
While the farm organization view
point was that controls are not nee
essary at this stage of the Korean
crisis, FB argued vigorously that the
legislation should make it manda-
tory that, should controls become
necessary, they should cover both
ends of the economic equation
prices and wages.
Brannan's viewpoint was that
"across the board" control require
ment would be, if controls became
necessary. comparable to tearing
down the house to avoid fixing one
leak in the roof"
This was Brannan's argument for
giving free hand to the president
power feared by farm organiza-
tons on. the grounds that it would
make it easy to put controls on
prices = particularly farm prices =
while wages and other costs would
not be affected.
Brannan softened his viewpoint
somewhat by expressing the opinion
that not single farm product pro.
duced in the nation at this time
needs to be brought under price
control
With this statement farm spokes-
men thoroughly agreed.
But farm organizations also real
lied that when the administrator
in Washington is authorized to us'

A Hot Campaign
Anchorage Times)

In case someone didn't notice, may point out that the campaign for the special election February 28 is bit torrid?
 It started out a simple question to be decided by the voters of Anchorage Do you want civic center to be paid for by tax on local sales?
 It has become tug-o-war. The campaign was generated by long list of endorsements from the Central Labor Council, civic clubs and others The harmony split, however when the Carpenters Union took exception to the action of the Central Labor Council The Retail Clerks Union followed suit.
 We are now in the midst of statements favorng opposing the project and replies to those state ments Some of them rather far afield but in the whole, they healthy in that they are prompting the consideration that should lead to an intelligent decision at the polls.
 The most alarming development as far as the opponents are concerned the radio broadcast by Governor Gruenng in which he went on record as an enthusiastic supporter of local sales tax for local community project The governor gave convincing statement against general territorial sales tax but in favor of local tax, pointing out that 1t IS a democratic and sound method" of handling local problem.
 The opponents find it difficult to answer the governors statement. It has left them unhappy At least candidate for the legislature took it upon himself to say that the governor didn't know what he was talking about-which rather bold for a novi- tate referring to of the most intelligent and successful men in Alaska government.
 It has not been made clear just how a local issue such as this has any part in the territorial election
 Certainly the Democratic Party cannot dsapprove of the special election It is being held under law which won the partys approval. The Democratic Party could have prevented enactment of the bill which authorizes Alaska cities to hold referendum vote on the sales tax
 There are those who make much of the principle involved sales tax, contendng that it is so wrong that must not used under any condition or for any purpose.
 Yet the Territory already has sales tax enacted by the legislature and which is on the books for an indefinite period It is the tobacco tax under which the Territory collects three cents on the sale of each package of cigarettes Instead of finding the tax objectionable and wrong there is prospect that the tax will be increased to five cents by the next legislature
