which Alan Valentine, ESA ad-
ministrator, was reported working
is expected to set December l
levels as the line to be held. The
agency, at the same time, would
announce its readiness to consider
exceptions for hardship cases.
The order, if issued, would run
to March l. BY that time Michael
v Di Sale. price stabilization di-
rector. is expected to have an Or
ganization set up adequate to the
job of enforcing mandatory Or
ders and to handle appeals for
exceptions.
While there would be no pen
alties attached to violations of the
voluntary freeze. it is expected
that efforts would be made to win
popular support for it reminis-
cent of the days of the National
Recovery Administration.
Meat Ceilings Expected.
President Truman has warned
that when fair standards are set
up violations would hasten man
datory controls and price and
wage rollbacks. He also warned
that chiselers will not be allowed
to get by.
Officials of the meat industry
were called to meet with ESA to-
day which led to the reports of
prospective ceilings. The three
meats NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. pork
on which prices are down-are
selling at above parity prices and
therefore ESA may take action on
them.
The agency is unable to act on
most food prices because Of the
ban in the Defense Production
Act on setting ceilings on agri-
cultural products where the prices
are under parity.
ESA's price freeze of automo-
bile prices until March 1, which
is essentially a rollback to the
level of December l, involves the
agency in much additional work.
Auto Makers Complain.
Most automobile manufactures
said they would follow the price
order in their industry. But they
complained against it as unfair.
The order was aimed chiefly at
General Motors, Ford. Chrysler
and Nash, which had raised prices
since December /.
Ernest r. Beech, executive vice
president of Ford, said the COM
pany would conform promptly to
this and any other Government
order issued in the national
emergency"
1--WE did our best to work out q
voluntary price control agreement
between the members of the in
dustry and the Economic Stabili-
zation Agency" he said.
General Motors issued state
ment saying the order is patiently
discriminatory" It said the NOM
inal' price increases on the COM
pany's new models is mot an un-
reasonable rise above the May "a
June "a level" nor does it affect
the cost of living or the national
defense.
Rise in Materials Cited.
1t pointed out that many raw
materials have gone up in price
citing steel. up Z per cent; alumni
mum, lib pc rcent; copper, 32.4
per cent; lead, Alt per cent; zinc
68.5 per cent, and rubber, 300 pei
cent.
This statement was issued be-
fore the sales freeze order.
To cope with the problem OF
the rising costs of metals Mr.
Disable has arranged a series OF
meetings with the producers. He
meets today and tomorrow with
representatives of the iron and
steel scrap industry and Wednes-
day with representatives of dealers
in other scrap. After the first OF
the year there will be meetings
on steel, copper, lead and zinc.

Post Office Handles
Record Volume Of
Christmas Packages

Hard-pressed postal employees
continued to move record volumes
of Christmas mail today as thou
sands of Washingtonians trooped
to post Office windows.
Stymied for two days last week
because of the railroad strike, an
estimated 10000 gift senders
trudged through long lines yester-
day, and continued to come today.
But despite this crush and the
pileup caused by the 39-hour mail
embargo. deliveries were going
along here at normal pace, and
practically the entire backlog of
accumulated mail had been erased.
Most of this was attributed by
Postmaster Roy M. North to the
manner in which all hands
pitched in, many working long
overtime hours to untangle the
snarl.
He estimated between $4,000
and $4,000 parcels were accepted,
proceSsed and sent on their way
from the City and Benjamin
Franklin post Offices yesterday,
record performance for any pre-
Christmas day.
Open Until Midnight.
To accomplish this, the city Of
fice remained open until midnight
and the Benjamin Franklin sta
ton until 10 pm. They will main
tain the same hours all this week,
with the city Office remaining
open even longer if necessary.
Other branch Offices will be open
until $50 pm. each day.
Post Office Department officials
were hopeful that every piece of
mail entangled by the embargo,
and all others dispatched within
reasonable time. would reach it's
destination by Christmas.
Postal clerks were doing their
part. Yesterday they loaded and
unloaded 312 cars of mail, a huge
load for even this time of year.
This morning there were 116 more
cars on hand to be unloaded and
delivered. But this was about
normal. and it appeared that, To-
cally at least, the embargo trou-
bles were solved.
With 300 extra men working,
some of them IL hours day and
six days week, the Postal Trans
portation Service had whitfield it's
embargo pileup to normal propor-
tlonS today.
Air Parcel Post Reduced.
Nair G. MaXson, chief of the
service. said 1000 sacks of air par
eel post on hand yesterday morn
ing had been reduced to so sacks
this morning. The jam was caused
by the hundreds of persons who
turned to airmail service when
regular channels were blocked by
the embargo.
People who still have packages |
to mail were urged to take them to
the Main Post Office at Massachu-
sets avenue and North Capital
street NE.
There most packages can be |
handled in 4 or minutes and
facilities are available to accom-
nodate five times more persons
than can be served at the Ben
jemin Franklin station.
Move at Fast Clip.
Yesterday. while the Franklin
station was jammed with persons
lined up at 10 windows, the move
ment was much faster at the
city Offices 28 windows. Teams
of five men to a window, or table,
moved the mails along at a rapid
clip.
When it is all over Saturday
night, it appears likely the Ma
ton and city will have chalked
up new records for Christmas
mail.
The national figure may reach
as high as 6.5 billion pieces, half
a million more than last YEAR
Washington's receipts were up 10
to IL per cent over the same
Christmas rush period last year.
