Mob Scene Is Staged

Out News to Press
By J. A. O'LeoY

A three-alarm fire couldn't have
created more excitement than &C
companied the press conference at
which the price and wage control

yesterday.
Although there had been reports
all week that the decision was,
near at hand. printed copies of

Frequently when the Govern

Photographers stood on chairs
with flash bulbs popping and
newsmen cupped their ears to
hear what the officials were say

Meanwhile, in another building
a force of Is mimeograph opera

the text of the orders, while a
throng of newsgatherers waited in
crowded corridor.
The official copies were handed
out on the installment plan, and
each time a page was finished
there was a mob scene as re-
porters reached for their copies.
Finally, the last page of the
formal order was completed about

decided to call it a night. They
said an accompanying statement

Draft Boards Told
Change in Policy on
Students Is on Way
Based on Suggestion
By Pentoeon to Stop
Midterm Quitting
BY George Beveridee

Selective service officials have
told local draft boards that they
soon will receive details of the new
plan to allow draft liable college
students to enlist in the service of
their choice next summer.
The new policy. instigated by the
Defense Department. opens the
door for voluntary enlistments
even though the draft law says
men cannot VOLUNTEER after they
get orders for actual induction.
To bypass this provision. draft
officials plan to reopen the
draft classification status of STU
dents at the end of the school year,
even if they have been ordered for
induction.
Will Prevent Quitting.
The policy change was taken
to try to keep college students
from quitting school in mid term
in order to volunteer and beat
the draft.
Draft officials yesterday sent
Pentagon announcement of the
new policy to all draft boards,
a spokesman said. with word that
detailed instructions will follow
later.
Maryland draft officials, mean
while, instructed local draft
boards to sit tight on the new
defense policies.
Col. Asher Harman. State di-
rector, told draft boards to con-
tinue their current procedure of
ordering college students for
physicals and ordering them for
induction. Under the law. their
actual inductions are postponed
until the end of the academic
year.
End Seen Tuesday.
Col. Harman said the same ad-
vice held for students themselves.
They should take their physicals.

quest the postponements, he said.
Both House and Senate COM
mittees investigating the Penta-
CONS new universal draft plan for

The Senate Preparedness Sub
committee hopes to wind up its
hearings Tuesday, then swing into

proposals on the draft expansion
plan.

Return TO Separate
Fund Bills Would Be
Tragedy, Cannon Says
One-Pockoge Plan Called
Key to Economics in
Mounting Federal Cost

Chairman Cannon of the House
Appropriations Committee said to-
day 1t would be "a tragedy" to
give up the one-package appropri-
alton bill and go back to separate
measures under which we have
piled up the menacing deficit
which overhangs the Nation
Mr.. Cannon strongly defended
the one-package appropriation
plan and said that it has offered
the only means of effecting econo-
mics in mounting FEDERAL ex-
penditures.
His views were expressed in a
lengthy speech prepared for
House delivery on Mondav In
the speech Mr.. Cannon answered
point by point arguments raised
against the single appropriation
bill by Representative Phillips,
Republican. of California.
Gets Jump on Phillips.
In releasing his statement in
advance of Mondays session, Mr.
Cannon got the jump on Mr
Phillips who had already put out
for Monday morning release q
statement on the consolidated
appropriation bill. citing his rea-
sous for opposing it.
The Appropriations Committee
has scheduled a meeting for Mon
day at which the question of con-
tinuing the single package appro-
priation bill will be considered
The single package bill was
used for the first time last year.
Most of the Republican men,
bers of the Appropriations Com
mittee and some Democratic
members are reported to be
opposed to continuation of the
consolidated bill
The matter was originally
scheduled to come before the
House Appropriations Committee
last Monday. But that meeting
was Cancelled, and since then, it is
understood, Mr.. Cannon and 9TH
ers favoring the one-package bill
have been trying to swing addi-
tional votes to their side.
appalling Increase" Deplored.
In his statement Mr.. Cannon
said, "the appalling increase" in
the cost of the Federal Govern
ment in the last few years points
up the danger in which the Gov
ernment finds itself with expendi-
lures exceeding revenue both in
peace time and in war.
1--WE can lose by bankruptcy as
well as by INVASION" Mr.. Cannon
continued. The consolidated bill
offers the only effective means yet
devised to remedy this serious sit
uation.
1T would be a tragedy to give
up the only method which has so
far resulted in actual economy. L.
We must adopt every method that
promises to hold down this in
sidious spending psychology that
is draining the life blood of the
Nation. We must retain the
only effective method adopted up
to this time-the consolidated
budget"

check the recent rapid rise of liv-

The price freeze will be re-
placed as rapidly as possible by
the fixing of ceiling prices on in

officials gave some hope of roll
backs in prices.
Then it was predicted that the
Government soon will ask Con-
