Price and Wage
|Curbs in Sight,
Truman Feels
Declares Farm Parity
Low Will Require
New Legislation

President Truman today ex-
pressed the conviction that across
the-board price and wage controls
eventually will be necessary.
He told a news conference, how
ever, that additional legislation
would be required because of the
barrier which the farm products
parity law throws up against food
price regulation.
He indicated that he would deal
with this subject in his State-of-
the Union message to Congress
next Monday.
Undecided on Rationing.
Asked about the possibility o1
rationing. Mr.. Truman used q ia
miliar phrase-he said that he
would cross that bridge when he
came to it.
The President dealt at some
length with the price-wage con-
troll subject, saying the admins
tration was working on it all the
time. But he added that it woulc
be tremendous job to make il
effective and that time would be
required.
Emphasizing that control o1
prices and wages would be in.
voked wherever possible as soor
as it could be done, the President
under questioning conceded thai
the farm parity law is barrier
to effective regulation of fooe
prices and that additional legis.
lation would be needed.
Agrees Food Control Is Planned.
Asked then if he proposed tt
seek new legal authority, the Pres
ident told a questioner that he
would let him know.
Later in the colloquy. however
the President agreed that con.
trolling food figured in the plan.
because, he amplified, the rise ir
food prices is one of the funda.
mental causes of the overall ad.
vance in living costs.
The 1850 defense production
law. which gave Mr.. Truman
wage and price control powers
stipulates that price ceilings on
farm products must not be lower
than 'A) the highest prices in the
month before the war in Korea
or tB> parity" prices-whichever
were higher. Parity is standard
set by Federal farm laws and de-
clared to be fair to both farmers
and consumers. The parity price
rises and falls with changes in the
prices of things farmers buy.
Some labor unions have con-
tended the restrictions on ceilings
for farm prices make it impossible
to have effective control of fooc
prices.

issue with Senator Taft's asser-
ton that Mr.. Truman was him
dering the working of Congress by
delaying the presentation of his
State of the Union message until
next Monday.
Mr.. Truman said he didn't see
how the message could be de-
layed, when Congress only as
sembled yesterday and would not
be completely organized for two
weeks.
He said records will show that
the message is following the GUS
tomary time table.
The President also applauded the
selection of Senators Mcfarland
of Arizona and Lyndon Johnson
of Texas as Democratic majority
leader and whip, respectively.

Eisenhower Warns
Defense Force Will Aim
For Peace and Nothing

Gen. Eisenhower, preparing to
leave for Paris, where he will COM
mand Western Europe's defenses,
asserted today that European de-
mocracies must make equal Sacri-
fees with America if the West is
to build forces capable of defend
ing Europe and maintaining
peace.
The general, who will leave here
at noon Saturday, said the COM
bined defense force being set up
by the North Atlantic treaty pow
ers. was lone for peace and moth
ing else"
But it means sacrifices for all
of us including heavier taxes" he
told Pentagon news conference.
Seeks Confidence of All.
He said one of the reasons this
country had accepted the top
command of the forces was the
belief that the Il treaty nations
were showing a growing readi-
ness to work out the defense
plans.
He said one of his main duties
would be to achieve the con-
fldence Of all the participating
powers in the armed forces.
The World War II Supreme
Allied Commander in Europe re-
fused to say how~long he thought
it would take to achieve the COM
bined forces, but he repeatedly
stated that there was no idea OF
belligerency on the part of West
ern European powers.
Sitting beside Gen. Eisenhower
was his chief of staff, 1t. Gen
Alfred M. Gruenther, who until
recently has been United States
Army deputy chief of staff for
plans.
Trip Will Be Exploratory.
Gen. Eisenhower said he was
assuming his new duties with mo
preconceived notions of what the
score is" and he added that he
was certain that the North At
lantic Treaty defense ministers
"have not tied my hands in any
way"
He said his trip. from which he
will return to New York and
Washington in three or four
weeks, was IAN exploratory one'
