New Price Ceilings
Order 10 Be Studied
By Industrial Group
By james Y. Newton

The Office of Price Sterilization
today was completing the draft of
an order placing price ceilings on
goods at the manufacturing level.
1t will tie manufacturers prices
tightly to actual cost increases
arising since the Korean war.
Tomorrow about 80 leading in
dustrialiSts from over the country
will discuss the order here with
Price Director Michael v. Disable.
There already were indications
the manufacturers would protest
some parts of the regulation.
Mr.. Disable said a late draft of
the order had been sent to select
ed manufacturers for study in ad-
vance of the meeting. He said
they were instructed to keep the
provisions secret until the order
finally is worked out.
Specific Ceiling Planned.
This regulation is in addition to
orders Mr.. Disable expects to issue
this week replacing the general
freeze with more specific ceilings
on food prices at both the whole
sale and retail levels.
Mr.. Disable said the manufac-
turers' regulation is intended to
do two things:
l. To give relief to those man
ufacturers who have avoided price
increases and have sought volun-
tarily to cooperate with the Gov
ernment in holding down prices.
2. To roll back prices in indus
tries which have advanced" un-
necessarily and farther than indi-
Gated by higher labor and mate
rails costs.
Meanwhile, Economic Stabilizer
Eric A. Johnston was still trying
tC work out with labor and indus
try representatives basis for re-
establishing the Wage Stabiliza-
ton Board which was made
imperative by resignation of three
labor members. He is reported
to have made little definite prog
reSS.
Seek Balanced" Structure.
In inviting the industrialists
here for review of the projected
price order, Mr.. Disable told them
the objective is ito move as rap
idly as possible on as broad a
front as is practicable toward the
restoration of a reasonably bal
anced and workable price struc-
ture."
No Office of Price Sterilization
official would hazard a guess as to
the extent of rollbacks or how
widespread increases in prices
might be. Manufacturers, with the
OPS keeping a close eye on the
situation. would compute their
own price levels under the for
mula.
An OPS official said manufac-
turers would take into considera-
ton their prices during the second
quarter of 1850. before the Ko-
rean war, plus their actual labor
and materials cost boosts since.
Then, by comparing this figure
with their price levels under the
existing general freeze ceilings,
the manufacturer would be per-
mitted to make certain percentage
adjustments.
The manufacturer in any case,
in making the adjustment, would
take the lowest price figure, the
official said. He said details of
the formula may be revised before
the order actually is issued.

Also, the bill would provide for
small annuity increase to pres
ents Federal employees when they
retire but would not give any boost
to employees earning $4,000 a year
or more. The bill, however, does
extend increased survivorship in

The employe unions will urge
that the two restrictive provisions
be amended to allow everybody in
the civil service retirement system,

Washington bankers often deal
in millions, but it's the little penny
that's causing the big whirl in
financial circles today. Pennies,
in short, are short.
Bankers say they've been able
to get by" but that's about all.
When somebody orders 81 500 in
pennies, he's likely to have his Or
der cut to $1,000.
Banks in other cities have been
keeping the telephone lines to
Washington busy with pleas for
pennies. But banks here won't
give them a cent. They're not
haTdhearted old skinfints-they
just can't give away something
they don't have.
Mint Director Comments.

Tayloe Ross, director of the Mint
that the pennies in the piggy
banks are causing all the fuss.

into their piggy banks, the Dis

the Mint describes the penny as
the Nations most used and use

Mrs. Ross said. reflects the high
level of business activity, and is
requiring the mints to work a lot
of overtime and on extra shifts.
Mrs. Ross suggested the people
start emptying their piggy banks
and turning the pennies into De-
fense Bonds, or using them to buy
something.
IF each of the estimated 38,-
$4,000 American families should

STASSEN CONVINCED
ISRAEL WILL FIGHT
RED AGGRESSION

PHILADELPHIA = (AJP) -
Harold E. Stassen, Republican
party presidential aspirant, told
the American Jewish Press this
week in an exclusive statement
that his visit to Israel had con-
WINGED him that the Jewish state
would fight any Soviet agrees
sion.
''Under these circumstances,
the United States should grant
aid to Israel on constructive
program of economic develop
ment for mutual advantage and
for service to the future freedom
of mankind" Stassen, now presi-
dent of the University of Penn
sylvania, told the ALP.
The statement was made short
ly after bills were introduced in
both houses Of Congress to pro-
vide a grant-in-aid to Israel of
$3.50, 100000.
Calling his trip "a truly inspir-
ing one" Stassen saluted "the
extreme and evident determine
ton of the people to make a sue
cess Of their new sovereignty Of
an ancient nation"
'Its people prize independent
freedom so much and are so
aware from first hand knowledge
of the oppressive nature of Com
munist imperialism, that they
will stand firm against any en-
deavour to make them subserv-
lent to Soviet domination" the
former Minnesota governor told
the Alp.

There is no Mr.. Anthony prob
lem solver in Key West. But l
have problem. How would you
like to be assigned to writing a
story about two men, one a Brit
ish born newspaperman, the
other an American movie camera
man, jumping the scene of their
activities from Aldershot, Eng
land to California and just toss in
a hamster called Pogo to make
things interesting?
This is today's simple little
barrier. Let the band play Over
the Hurdles" while the spectacu-
lar leap is made and two minia-
ture biographies of two Key West
Players are resolved into one.
In the cast of actors bowling in
Monday night at the Barn Thea
ter when the comedy MY Sister,
Eileen" is presented, is H. J.
Price, one time Raj captain. In
the play, Harry Price has the
role of a New York Greek land
lord named Appopolous. Harry
has a fabulous background of ex-
perience; but that is the first
time he has appeared behind the
footlights, as Appopolous, the
Greeks have a word for it,
doubtless, derived from Apo
plexy. Mr.. A, is rugged charac-
ter who makes the heart throb,
not with tender emotion, but with
the hearty business of laughter.
There is real life drama in
Harry Prices background but
nothing to indicate that he would
ever become an actor. Yet he at
tended try-out of the play and
read the part just to encourage
others. After a few minutes he
was told, You're in"
Born into the British Army by
heritage, Price had his formal
education at the College of King
Edward vi in Birmingham, Eng
land. He flew with the Royal
Flying Corps during World War
1 and still retains title of captain
in the Raj.
In the United States and Cana
da he branched out into writing;
became an editor of the Model
Airplane News; did public rela-
tons work, worked on diStin-
guished newspapers as reporter,
sportswriter, travel editor, col
umnist and telegraph editor, as
well as copy reader.
In London a correspondent and
sub editor, he founded the Bureau
of the British United Press and in
Paris started a division of the
BUP as well as being United
Press correspondent He has been
vice president of the Overseas
Press Club three different times.
In 1881 he published a book
called Mystery of the Silver
Dart" with an aviation angle in
which he forecast radar, tele-
vision, air to ground contact. 1t
was a cloak and dagger story
with factual basis.
He was associated with the
Literary Digest, The New York
