Producers Ceilings
On Soap, CIeansers
Ito Be Cut 7-9 Pct.

Price solicitations officials plan
to cut manufacturers price cell
Iings on soap and cleaners by about
7 to 8 per cent.
! Manufacturers were told yester-
day the new ceilings to be estab-
Ilished soon would be at about
the current level of the producers
selling prices to wholesalers.
The Office of Price Sterilization
said manufacturers prices to dis
Itributors have gone down since
early this year because the costs
of major soap ingredients have
dropped 40 per cent below ceiling
prices.
| The lower manufacturing costs
already are reflected in retail
prices with the products selling at
about cent a package below the
levels established in the general
price freeze last January. Because
of this, OPS said, the projected
cut in manufacturers price levels
would not bring any additional
cut in retail prices.
| Meanwhile, in anticipation of adj
ministration requests for wider
price controls, the United States
Chamber of Commerce pointed out
that the controls themselves cost
money.
| The chambers Board of Direc-
tors estimated that the World
War II price control program cost
the taxpayers $5.7 billion. The
board said the controls now i'm
posed or projected may cost more
than was spent on the OPA pro-
gram in World War II.

fore adjournment. but the South
Carolinian feels further changes
are necessary.
Accordingly, the Senate Civil
Service Committee, rather than
the tough minded House Appro-
priations Committee, will initiate
legislation next year to tone down
the Written rider still further.
The ban on permanent promo
tions during the national emer-
gency will be allowed to stand.
But the bill will seek to modify
the provision that requires en-
ployes, with certain exceptions, to
wait one year before being eligi-
BILE for promotions, even on
temporary basis. This proviso is
causing severe economic hardships
on deserving employees and great
administrative hardships on agen-
Icies, the committee feels.
HOLIDAY WEEK ENDS-Ad-
minstration officials say they are
confident President Truman will
issue the executive order giving
Federal employees a four-day
Christmas holiday and a three
day New Years holiday this year.
Such a plan was recommended
to the White House last week by
the Federal Personnel Council.
Under the proposal, the en-
ployes would have off four con-
secutive days-Saturday through
Tuesday-for the Christmas pc
Rod, and Sunday through Tues
day for New Years. The Mondays
that would not be worked would
be made up by the employees work.
ing Saturdays after the holidays.
The situation is identical to that
of 1945, when Christmas and New
Years Day also fell on Tuesdays.
At that time, employees were given
the long week ends and were al
lowed to make them up later.
NEW AGENCY-The Small De-
Tense Plants Administration is

80 persons. 1t hopes to have l55

agency should reach a peak OF
about 500 workers.
Recent appointments in the
agency include Keith L. Hanna
as budget officer and Dan Carr
as personnel director. both good
men.
PAY COST-The Budget Bu-
reau has informed the Govern
ment's departments and agencies
they will have to absorb the cost
of the recent Federal pay raise
wherever possible" in their 1853
fiscal year budget appropriations.
In past Federal pay raises,
agencies have had to absorb about
Is per cent of the cost. This
probably will be true this time,
TOO. Most of the IS per cent
pay raise absorption can be
achieved by not filling vacancies.

On His Reappointment

The Board of Education's Per-
sonnet Committee has begun ar
"evaluation" of the service OF
School Supt. Hobart M. CORNING
to determine If he should be ap-
pointed to another term on
March /.
Adelbert w. Lee, Personnel Com
mittee chairman, said the COM
mittee had been asked to make
the evaluation by C. Melvin
Sharpe, board president.
Mr.. Lee would not amplify the
procedure the committee will fol-
low. He said it would do a COM
plete act-tinding job" and prom
ised the final report would be fair
and impartial.
SubOrdinates Get QUESTIONABLE.
1t was learned from another
source that QUESTIONABLE had
been sent to various school officials
working under DR.. Corning asking
opinions on phases of the school
superintendent work.
At the same time, the Junior
Chamber of Commerce announced
it had passed a resolution COM
mending DR.. Corning's work dur
ing the past six years and urged
the board to name him for an
other term as superintendent.
The resolution was sent to all
of the Board of Edu-
cation.
The Junior Chamber also sent
a letter to Chief Judge Bolitha J.
Laws of District Court urging that
District residents of "JC age"-21
to So yearS-be considered for ap-
pointment to the next vacancies
on the board. The District Court
judges make the board appoint
mentS.
The letter declared the view
point of younger families was sad
ly lacking" on the board but added
it meant no criticism of the pres
ent members. The letter said it
would seem logical that those most
concerned with school affairs, the
families with Sabotage children,
be represented on the board.
No Deadline Set.
Mr.. Sharpe said he wanted the
eyaluation to help the board make
up its mind whether it should re-
appoint DR.. Corning to his S14,-
O00-a-year post. He is serving his
second three-year term. A similar
evaluation was made by the
school board when it reappointed
DR.. Corning to his second term.
Mr.. Sharpe said no deadline
had been set for the Personnel
Committee to make its report. He
said he had asked Mr.. Lee for
an early report, however.
Other members of the Person.
mel Committee are DR.. Phillip T.
Johnson and Albert E. Steinem.
Mr.. Lee has been critical of DR..
Corning's administration. On sew
eral occasions he has said he
would oppose DIR. Corninp'S reap-
pointment. The committees eval-
uation will give credit where
credit is due and criticism where
he commented.
