The tert OF a statement on
imitation controls issued by
President Truman at his netDs
conference yesterday tolloiUs:
Since the threat of Communist
aggression made it necessary for
us to step up our defense efforts
I'VE have been working to control
Imitation. We have known that
uncontrolled imitation would weak
en- our defense effort, and impose
terrible hardship upon millions of
families. BY applying combina-
Ition of measures we have had con-
siderable success in bringing in
Iflationary forces under control.
The Congress enacted two tax
bills which have SO far kept our
defense spending on pay-aSyou-
Igo basis.
The Government has frightened
up on inf1ationary consumer credit
and installment buying, and is
moving to restrain inf1ationary
bank credit.
Price Declines Noted.
The Government has put price
and wage controls into effect.
These Government actionS-to-
gether with voluntary action by
consumers and busineSsmen-have
stopped the upward rush of prices.
Since early February, when the
general ceiling price regulations
went into effect, wholesale prices
have increased less than l per
cent. During the last month, they
have actually declined. Consumer
prices have leveled off, and food
prices have come down a little.
The recent price wars between
department stores in certain cities
are a good indication that our
anti-inf1ation program is working.
Without this program, the scare
buying, speculation, and excessive
accumulation of inventories would
almost certainly still be going on.
Most of the legislation which
has made it possible to hold in
f1ation in check will expire at the
end of this month. 1t is extremely
important that the Defense Pro-
duction Act be extended and
strengthened if we are to keep the
heavy pressures of the next few
months from becoming an unman-
ageable torrent of imitation.

7runon's View of Controls
Inflationary Pressure to Grow.

1nnat1Onary Pressure 10 OrOW.
The present situation is only q
breathing spell. Inflationary
Ipressures will grow rapidly later
this year, and still more next year.
That is true because our economy.
now operating at a peak, with full
employment, is going to feel the
shock of greatly increasing de-
fense expenditures.
The annual rate of expendi-
lures for national security Is
steadily going up. Before the
middle Of next year. it is sched-
uled to be twice as high as it is
now. This represents an increase
of well over 80 billion dollars at
an annual rate. The budgetary
surplus of recent months will be
replaced by a growing deficit. due
to this rapid increase of defense
expenditures. This is why 1t is
necessary for us to increase taxes
and to continue and strengthen
our other control measures.
If controls are not extended,
this $50 billion increase in de-
fense spending would, it is esti-
mated, stimulate at least another
$50 billion of spending by busi-
nessmen and consumers. This
would not result in more goods
being produced. 1t would only
result in more money being spent
for the same goods, thus driving
prices and wages up in a terrific
spiral.
American People Wondering.
The American people are Won
dering whether the programs
which have started to protect
them from imitation are going to
be continued and strengthened
to meet this growing danger.
Some of the Special-interest
groups have come out for killing
all wage and price controls. This
critical issue is now before Con-
greSS.
We must meet this issue
head on.
The control of imitation is not
a partisan issue; it is a national
need. Everybody-every men,
ber of Congress-, every person in
the executive branch. every citi-
zen-must work together to bring
about the control of imitation.

Congress Steps Up
lis Efforts 10 Renew
Economic Controls
By Joseph A. Fox

Confronted with new demand
from President Truman to meet
the imitation threat head on" Ad-
ministration forces in Congress
today stepped up tagging efforts
to beat the June 80 deadline for
the economic controls program.
With barely three weeks left be-
fore expiration of the Defense
Production Act which covers the
controls, Senate and House Com
mitteeS planned to get down to
business on drafting legislation to
extend the law another year-a
step which would fall short of the
Presidents request.
At the same time, the contro-
versial subject of beef continued
to hold the spotlight, with Price
Director Michael V. Disable stand
ing firm on his decision to roll
back prices twice more by fall,
despite the fact that beef fam
inc" may be in evidence in many
areas next week.
President Truman stepped back
into the initiation fight again late
yesterday when he issued news
conference statement declaring
that the imitation control program
is having its effect in lowering
prices, but warning at the same
time that "the present situation
is only a breathing SPELL" and
adding that the Defense Act must
be continued if gains are to be
maintained.
He stressed that armament
spending will be running at
rate of $50 billion more annually
by the middle of next year and
that an "unmanageable torrent of
imitation" will result unless the
brakes are applied.
In passing, the President hailed
current price wars as evidence
that the controls are taking hold,
explaining that merchants who
had gone in for what he called
panic buying now are trying to
unload their heavy inventories.
He also cut loose at the "special
interests" for trying to kill all
wage and price controls and let
it be known that he still is con-
Sidering a cross-country trip to
tell the people what goes on.
On Capitol Hill, meanwhile, the
Senate Banking Committee yes
terday wound up five weeks of
hearings on the administration
proposal to extend the controls
law. The group planned to go
into a huddle on the issue next
week. Some members indicated
there was little doubt the controls
would be extended but probably
without new powers asked by Mr.
Truman.
Chairman Spence of the House
Banking Committee told news
men he planned to conclude hear
ings on the bill Monday. Mr..
Spence set the week of June 18
for bringing a completed bill to
the floor for final House action.
Interim Extension rredicted.
Some lawmakers, taking into
consideration the nearneSs of the
present Defense Acts expiration
date, predicted that Congress
would resort to go or 80 day

sion.
1t appeared unlikely the House

there was little indication that the
present scope of rent controls
would be enlarged.
Under the present law, Federal
rent control may be imposed only
where localities take affirmative
action to retain them. A move is
