Truman Will Request
Immediate Changes
In Price Curb Law

President Truman has decided
to ask Congress for immediate
changes in the new price control
law and expects to send a mes
sage to the Capitol this week seek
ing additional curbS to combat
initiation.
The Presidents decision, fore
cast yesterday when he conferred
with the national advisory board
on mobilization policy, was an
nounced today by Press Secretary
Joseph Short, who said that while
the date of the message has not
been determined he thought it
would be this week-tomorrow or
Friday.
The President was sharply crit
tcal of the new law when he
signed it July 81 and said at the
time that changes would be sought
because he declared the imitation
control provisions are "gravely
deficient.
He said at the time that the
legislation would raise ceiling
prices for manufacturers, whole
salers and retailers.
Two Major Weak Points.
While the changes he will ask
have not been disclosed, the Presi-
dents statement signing the act
pointed to what he felt were two
major weak points.
He criticized the Butler-Hope
amendment Wiping out slaughter
quotas on beef and the Capehart
amendment which in effect per-
mlts manufacturers and professors
to add all costs, direct and in
direct, to the pre-Korea price level.
The new law, severely wateredI
down from the form which Presi-I
dent Truman sought, had both
Democratic and Republican sup
port.
Two Senators Defend Law.
Senator Maybank. Democrat. of
South Carolina said Government
officials who administer the new
economic controls law which be-
came effective August l are criti-
clzing it even before the ink isl
dry" He said it is only fair"
to give the present law fair trial.
Senator Capehart, Republican,
OF Indiana said some people"
evidently favor "Marxist philos-
ophy, Socialist philosophy" and
he told the Senate:
Il challenge the President of
the United States to send down
his ideas of (any new legislation.
Let's have this thing out, once
and for ALL"
