Two, avoid washing your hands

them with a liquid hand lotion. All
the good ones contain cleansing
agents as well as beauty-restoring

hand lotion, just as you do with a

describes
The Congress has row extended
until July 81 the Defense Produc-
tion Act and our present rent con-
troll law. Both these laws would
otherwise have expired June 80,
with nothing on the statute books
to keep our program going. The
Senate has passed a new bill, to
take the place of these present
laws and the House of Representa-
tiveS is scheduled to debate this
new measure shortly. 1t is a mat
ter OF great urgency that the Con-
gress complete action on this new
bill we'll before July 81. And it is
absolutely vital that the new bill
be strong one, which will give
this Government the powers it
must have to do the job Mr.. Will
son has outlined in his report.
1t is my earnest hope that in
the days ahead. the Congress will
review with care the consequences
OF enacting weak measure and
will come forward with the strong
legislation we need SO badly.
Otherwise, the consumers in this
country may be plundered by re-
uewed imitation and our whole

Mr.. Wilson said we have only

This program must and will
continue whether or not fighting

gagged in combat or standing on

tai change in the need for build
ing strength for the defense of
freedom throughout the world"
In black type in the report he
gave this solemn warning:

that can end the tension and the
constant danger that now envelope
the whole free world. 1t is

Leaders Mapping Campaign Stronger Controls Measure

tains no ban on price rollbacks,
but there seems to be abundant
support for amendments to put
them into the measure.
That the no-rollback forces are
in the saddle was demonstrated
last week when the House passed
the stop-gap bill keeping con-
trols alive during July. A ban
against rollbacks went into the
temporary measure by a substan-
tial vote.
/ Some Members Doubt Needs.
Some House members don't be-
lieve any controls will be necessary
If the fighting ends in Korea.
They claim the law of supply and
demand will take care Of infiation-
ary tendencies once the shooting
stops.
On the other side Of the Capitol,
Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
Louisiana said today that if peace
negotiations in Korea succeed, he
believes that "the pinch will be of
as far as the cost of living goes"
However, he told a reporter that
authority to channel scarce mate
rails into defense production
should be continued. He also said
ut might be well to extend rent
controls.
Senator Ellender suggested that,
ii the Korean war ends, the pre-
paredness program could be spread
over four years instead of two or
three.
Emphasis on Production.
Senator Flanders, Republican, of
Vermont said that. with a halt to
the Korean fighting, the emphasis
in the Nations military program
should shift from building stock
piles to establishing production

I am forwarding to you for
your information copies of the
Second Quarterly Report to the
President by the Director of De-
fense Mobilization. This report is
being distributed to the press
today for release to the. morning
papers of Thursday. July S. 1851
This report is stimulating
document. Mr.. Wilson has re-
ported our progress to date on
our mobilization program. He has
the successes that
have been achieved, but he has
not overlooked the delays and diff
ficulties which have beset some
parts of the program.
Above all, his report makes it
crystal clear that in these last
three months we have still been
in the early stages of our defense
effort-still tooling up, still get
ting organized. The heaviest bur-
dens, the hardest part of the job
lie ahead. The full impact Of
our program will begin to be felt
in the next year. The efforts we
have made so far will only begin
to pay off in big-scale military
and expanded produc-
tive capacity during the. coming
year. The great production Job
that lies ahead of us will remain
to be done whether or not We are
able to stop the fighting in Korea.
Everything that Mr.. Wilson says
in this report emphasizes the
tremendous Importance of obtain
ing good, strong control legislation
to see us through this crucial
period, while we are building our
defensive strength. We need strong
production controls. price ane
wage controls, credit controls ane
rent controls-we need them al

wilson Urges No Letup.
These statements echoed SIM
liar ones the President made
earlier yesterday in letter trans
|mitting to Congress quarterly
report of Defense Mobilization
Director Charles E. Wilson. Mr.
Wilson said that what happens in
Korea will make no fundamental
change in the need for building
the, strength of the free world.
Senators generally agreed that
defense preparations should &C
forward. But some said they be-
lieved an end to the Korean wal
would permit a slowing down OF
military spending and wou'd ease
the upward pressure on prices
Others sharply disputed this, say
ing any letup would play into Rus
sia's hands.
In the House administration
leaders were fearful that peace
prospects in Korea might create
la surge of sentiment to junk con-
trolls entirely.
R0llback Chances Held Slim,
Some said privately that they
have abandoned hope of keeping
out of the legislation a ban
Iagainst price rollbacks like that
voted by the Senate last week.

port for the April-June quarter OF
the year, covered the attainments
land deficiencies in the mobiliza-
ltion program. Among the points
The made on the plus side were
these:
