He said these markups will pro-
vide maximum price stability
for both the food industry and
the general public.
He said food industry leaders
can expect to be living in a gold
fish bowl for the duration" be-
cause of the Importance of food
prices in the stabilization pro-
gram.
Mr.. Disable said that food prices
are geared closely to farm prices
and that farm income has de-
clined for three successive years.
consequently" he said, ''it has
been my position that we should
have more experience before we
make any recommendation re-

Canned Foods for Emergencies.
The association also was told
today that canned foods offer the
best protection against the con-

atomic, biological or chemical
warfare.
DR.. E. J. Cameron. director of
research for the association, told
the group that civil defense
planners recognize the Importance
of canned foods in emergencies.
"Hermetically sealed tin and
glass containers provide the most
complete protection against the

ers of most of labor at the entire
operation of the Defense Mobili-
cation Program.
Industry leaders accused the
labor leaders of hurting national
unity and seeking a brand new
round of wage increases
The labor leaders accused the
Government of serving big busi-
ness and ignoring the plain peo-
pie" and they predicted serious
unrest in industry"
The Governments economic
mobilization effort was in some
thing like a crisis.
General Dissatisfaction.
The United Labor Policy Com
mittee, comprised of the leaders
of the CIO. AFL, and independent
railroad unions. brought about
resignation of its three representa-
tives from the Wage Sterilization
Board, but that was described
merely as a symptom of general
dissatisfaction with the way labor
feels it has been treated recently
by the administration.
The happening used as an ex-
cuse for the break with the ad-
ministration was a 10 per cent
wage control formula adopted by
the boards public and industry
members over the objections of
the labor members. But as one
labor leader put it, 1--WE would not
take Is per cent or an 18 per
cent formula today. That is not
the point. We are unhappy about
the way the mobilization program
is being run
The problem OF what to do
about labor's sudden disaffection
was the subject of top-level ad-
ministration conferences last
night and will be again today.
Labor officials said they were
particularly sore at what they
considered were rebuffs they had
received at the hands of Mobili-
zation Director Charles E. Wilson
and others in his Office of De-
fense Mobilization.
Several weeks ago the labor
leaders asked Mr.. Wilson to ap-
point a labor man to a high
policy making level in his organi-
zation. So far this has not been
done.
AffrOnt to Labor Denied.
A spokesman for Mr.. Wilson
said the mobilization director was
now in process of selecting a la
Dor official for top post. He
said that Mr.. Wilson had en-
countered difficulty in finding a
well-qualified man who was will
