Set Up New Office
For Mobilization
teontlnued from arst 80


He is expected to do much of the
signal-calling in the wage-pricC
stabilization plans sketched briefly
last Friday night in Mr.. Truman's
broadcast. These include:
1. The issuance, starting "at
Cnce," Of mandatory ceilings on q
number Of basic defense materials
and major eost-Of-living items
Wage stabilization will go with the
price ceilings. The auto, steel, and
copper industries are expected tc
be among the earliest under con-
troll.
Honor System Asked
2. A general hOld-the-line ap-
peal on all other products. The
Economic Sterilization Agency will
fix the "line." Mr.. Truman asked an
hOnor-system observance of it.
but with the warning that If the
"fair standards" set by ESA are
violated, mandatory controls and
rOll-backs will be hastened.
ESA is virtually the only emer-
gency ageny which Wilson could
not absorb if he wished; Congress
give it Independent status by law
BuL Wilson could, for instance, di-
rect that cooper prices to raised il
the ceilings hurt production; OF
that foundry wages be boosted II
fOundry-men quit to take better
paid and less essential jobs:
NPA Due To Continue
The National Production Author
ity, which is growing day by day
and imposing ever greater re-
straints on civilian production, is
expected to continue doing business
for some time in the Commerce
Department.
But NPA and the kindred .agen-
cies in the Interior, Agriculture and
Labor departments and other old
line agencies, will depend on Will
son for policy guidance.
The industrialist therefore will
be the mobilization director not
only over the country's plant and
factory resources, but over its
ores, minerals, fuel, electric pow
er, farm production; its motor,
rail and merchant ship transporta-
ton; and-to the limited extent
permitted by the defense act-its
manpOWer resources.
