The Housewife's Friends

During the backstage debate, South Carolina's Maybank argued: We ought to freeze prices the way they are now so business and agrl- culture will know what they are up against and will go ahead and produce"
 Alahama's Sparkman and Mich igan's new senator Moody led the fight for the consumers. The Ala baman warned that the government will not be able to hold the line on wages, if prices are not rolled back. The whole wage stabilization formula, he said, is related to the movement of prices and the cost of living in the base period before the Korean invasion.
 What you are doing here is to wipe out the base" Sparkman warned.
 Moody maintained: "The econ- omy is full of distortion because, when the President attempted to apply the voluntary system and hold imitation without direct con- trols, great many people respon-

Housewives Chief Enemy

Most effective battler against the housewife was the able new Repub- lican Senator from Illinois, Everett Dirksen. Dirksen, Chicago Trib- une spokesman and an old friend of Morton Bodfish, leading brain of the real estate lobby, led a move behind closed doors to wipe out price controls altogether. He was joined by Capehart, Bricker and Schoeppel in an attempt to strike out title four, which would have eliminated both wage and price I. controls.
 Dirksen also tried to slip through the 6l per cent rent increase that Ohio's Bricker failed to foist on the committee in an earlier vote. Bricker had wanted to let the land lords choose any year since 1922 and increase their rents 6l per cent above their top figure-despite the fact that he had objected when the Mayflower Hotel raised his rent only IS per cent. He was talked doAp behind closed doors and fin allE offered 37 per cent compro- mise.
 HA Dirksen later came back with a {irpposal to strike out all rent controls. but give the President au- thority to recontrol rents in defense areas. What the committee almost missed, however, was that Dirksen offered the Bricker 6l per cent for mula for recontrolling rents even in defense areas-interesting news to Chicago's overcrowded tenants.
 Another camouflaged maneuvei was tried by Capehart after Dirk sch lost the vote to strike out wage and price controls altogether. Cape hart then moved to extend alloca- tion controls for year, but lei price controls expire December l This was an obvious attempt tc kill price controls in December al a time when Congress would not be in session and would be unable to. renew them.
 Irony is that this is the same Capehart who kept shouting that Truman was responsible for infla- tion because he didn't slap on con-

Temporary Stability

Important if true is the forecast from Washing ton that rise in the cost of living has subsded tenn porariy. The forecaster, the commissioner of labor statistics does not say which direction the index will take after the period of stability, how long the index will remain stationary relatively it is now It is difficult to tell he says until the crops are in.
 To the layman, all such predictions, or the basis for arriving at them to lie within the realm of necromancy But stasticans, by nature of their work calling do have sets of facts to work with. And a fair proportion of them do draw the proper concu- sions from these facts.
 Negative information, such as that provided in the forecast by the commissioner of labor statistics at least has the virtue not being than unfavor able positive information To be told for instance. that the cost of living index showed signs of pausing in it's upward flight would be discouraging indeed So in determining whether the forecast is indicative of the pause that refreshes the u before the storm or the decline before the fall The services of cliche expert might prove as efficscious any other.

al Capital Parks, said today.

shrubs and sewing grass in the
spring will finish the project. he
said.
The erStwhile rundown park
area between Fourth and Fifth,
E and F streets. NV, between the
Civil and Criminal Branches of
Municipal Court, has been COM
pletely furnished. Even the
statue of the South American hero,
Gen. San Martin, which dominates
the square, has been given a sand
blast cleaning.
Instead of the worn-down grass,
rickety branches and makeshift
boardwalk that characterized the
square a short time ago, there are
now new automobile parking areas,
new sidewalks, new benches and
new drinking fountains. Among
the new paintings are azaleas and
taxus bushes. Old dying trees have
been taken out, Mr.. Thompson ex-
planned. and new trees planted.
The scattered parking areas
that provided for lit automobiles
have now been organized into
three principal parking spaces ac-
commodating ITO cars, Mr..
Thompson pointed out. These are
not only for judges and other
court officials. but for the general
public that has business with the
courts.
