PRICE RISES COMING-When
President Truman signed the new
economic controls bill last week
he warned that higher ceiling
prices for the manufacturer,
wholesaler and retailer are in the
offing. A survey of business lead
ers indicates that the president
was not far wrong. Makers of
farm equipment, machinery, and
machine tools indicated that pri-
ces will edge up. Automobile
manufacturers thought that costs
justify higher prices but that sag
ging consumer demand would act
as a brake on increases. Some
upward revision of prices for food
and oil products is expected. Steel
and rubber prices are expected to
hold. as are textiles. Dealers in
hides and leather are more con-
cerned about price weaknesses
than the possibility of higher
ceilings.

The Legislature thought well
enough Of the project at its last

Behind The Scenes i.
In American Business
by Reynolds Knight

Among all the astronomical
million and billion dollar figures
tossed around in discussing the de-
tense rearmament program, $25
wouldn't seem to mean much. But
when it comes to paying for the
defense program, $25 is the fig
ure that does tremendous part
of the job.
The treasury's latest report on
defense bond sales shows that
purchases of $25 and $50 bonds
the standby of the working man
are currently II per cent high
er than last year On the other
hand, sales of the giant $1,000
bonds - favorite denomination
of the big investor, have dropped
80 per cent below last year.
So it would seem that the work
ing man is the one who is doing
most of the digging-down to sup
port the governments program
Even so, plans are all set to put
on major selling campaign for
defense bonds in the fall. One of
the ways suggested by the gov
eminent to boost sales would be
asking workers to take their over
time pay and productivity" bon
uses in bonds instead of cash.
This, of course, would be strict
ly on a voluntary basis, but could
be very effective way of saw
ing some of that extra cash.
