parts of the country.
The union also will seek a mini
mum uniform wage scale in 470
mills.
Those decisions were reached
here today at a meeting of the
TWUA's top leaders with a "a
man policy committee. The COM
mittee was named at conference
In Washington last December II.
The proposed wage scale would
establish a minimum hourly wage
of $l.191a. Other rates will range
hlgher-in many instances, the
union said, to a figure higher than
would be brought by the II per
cent increase. This would hold
true particularly in the South
where the minimum now is
$1.011a.
Quarterly Adjustments Sought.
Mariana S. Bishop, cotton-rayon
industry director for the TWUA,
said the union seeks to establish
uniform wages irrespective of
geographic location" of the mills.
Bishop said in addition to i'm
mediate wage increases the union
will ask for quarterly cost-of-liv-
ing adjustments and 7 per cent
annual improvement factor in a
two-year contract. The cost-of-
living adjustments would bring
workers a l-cent hourly wage

An annual improvement factor
and the cost-of- living adjustment
clauses are now included in "a

ton-rayon industry. Mr.. Bishop
said.
Cotton-rayon employers. Mr.
Bishop said. will be asked to pro-
vide a minimum pension of S100

cial security benefits, to all work
ers with 25 years of service who

He called into private confer
ences Price Director Michael v.
Di Sale and Alan Valentine, Eco
nomic Sterilization Administra
tor, for what one official said was
some plain talk about a hot dis
pute between the two over price
control policy and timing.
The talks resulted in agree
ment among all of the agency
heads concerned that full price
and wages controls should be i'm
posed as quickly as is practicable.
Organization to Be Set Up.
1t was understood that the new
target date for the imposition of
price curbs is from two to four
weeks from now. Wage and SAL
airy curbs will come as soon after
the price action as possible.
With an early date for action
in mind. Mr.. Wilson instructed
the stabilization officials to direct
full attention to the immediate
recruitment of an organization to
administer and enforce controls.
One official said the Federal
Bureau of Investigation had
agreed to assist in the enforce
ment of controls in the early
stages.
Mr.. Di Salle's plan for an i'm
mediate freeze of all prices was
opposed by Mr.. Valentine and
vetoed by Mr.. Wilson. who has
the final say in such matters.
Told to End Bickering. 4
Mr.. Valentine has held that
drastic controls should not be ap-
piled until the Government has
built up a staff large enough to
administer and enforce such a
program. He has warned that so
many price inequities would re-
suit from freeze that business
men would swamp his Office with
complaints. Such a chaotic situa-
ton, he added, might lead to a
breakdown of the whole program.
Mr.. Di Sale feels that prices
are advancing so swiftly that
some drastic counter action is
called for, even though he admits
the Government Is far from ready
to enforce it. es
The two officials, it was under
stood, were told by Mr.. Wilson to
end their pickering in the in
terests of the defense program.
The new target date for controls
of from two to four weeks is a
compromise of the opposing points
of view.
Senator George, in discussing
fiscal and economic problems. also
called for drastic reduction" in
Government expenditures that can
be postponed, and said all nom
defense items should be cut to the
bone.
Further Price Rises Feared.
President Truman already has
served notice heavy new tax de-
mands will be made this year on
individual and corporate incomes.
He described the new demands in
his economic message last week as

we are in now and the taxpayer

ruptcy."
Military officials have COM
planned that soaring prices cut
down the quantities of weapons
and supplies they are able to
procure with the defense appro-
priations.
Senator George said he was
fully in accord with the plan to
pay-as-you-go as far as possible
for the cost of the defense pro-
gram. but that it would be diff
cult to do in the absence of tight
price and wage controls.
Meanwhile. Price Director Di-
Sale said that the program to
halt price increases voluntarily
had borne some fruit. especially
In the metals and chemicals fields.
Main Results Listed.
He pointed out that stabiliza-
ton officials have been meeting
for several weeks with various
industrial groups seeking commit
ments against raising prices. He
listed these main results:
]. The copper. sulphur and lead
zinc industries have signed agree
ments not to raise prices without
prior notice to the Government.
2. A similar voluntary agree
ment is expected from the steel
industry on a company-by-com-
pany basis. However. a big in
crease in steel prices went into
effect only six weeks ago.
8. Preliminary discussions have
been held with scrap metal in
dustries-iron and steel, copper
and brass, lead and zinc, alum
mum, and nickel-and the action
apparently has had the effect of
restraining prices.
In another development, John
M. Hancock. appointed by Mr..
Disable as special consultant,
completed hearing on automo-
bile ceiling prices and said he
would announce a decision soon.
Mr.. Hancock is working out a
plan under which the present
freeze of car prices at December
l levels may be relaxed to allow
the manufacturers to make some
increases to compensate in part
for tighter materials and labor
costs.

Angry Parents Flood Remington Will Give
Congress With Attack Own Story This Week
On 18-Year-0Id Draft In U. 5. Perjury Trial
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-William
w. Remington, 33, former Com
merce Department economist, gets
his chance next week to clear him
self Of charge that he committed
perjury in denying he ever was a
Communist.
His chief accuser is Elizabeth
Bentley, confessed former Soviet
spy courier, who in recent years
has figured in a number of cases
revolving about Communism.
Her statements before a con-
gressional investigation that Rem
ington was a Communist set off
"a grand jury investigation that
led to his indictment.
Prosecution witnesses testified
the one-time Dartmouth College
student actively participated in
Communist meetings in Knoxville
Tenn, in 1887 while he was en-
ployed in a minor job in the Ten
nessee Valley Authority.
Divorced Wife Testified.
Remington's divorced wife, a
key prosecution witness, said he
gave top secret formula for
making explosives from garbage
to a Russian agent. She said the
Russian agent was Miss Bentley.
Miss Bentley corroborated the tes-
timony.
Robb Kelley, Philadelphia in
surance man and Dartmouth class
mate of the defendant, said Rem
ington admitted to him during
student days that he was a Com
munist Party member.
The defense contended that
Remington should not be held
accountable for something he
might have said at years ago.
about Communism.
Defense attorneys stressed as
the Government case drew to a
close that no prosecution witness
ever had seen a Communist Party
membership card in Remington s
name or in his possession.
Defense Sought Motive.
Defense Counsel William c.
Chanler drew from Miss Bentley
a statement that she described
Remington as a Communist in
material she was preparing for
a book.
He sought to prove that this
gave her an interest in helping
to convict Remington.
There apparently would be no
royalties from that book if the
defendant should be acquitted, -
Mr.. Chanler said.
He brought out further from
Miss Bentley that John G. Bru-
mini, foreman of the grand Jury
that indicted Remington, gave
her editorial assistance In prepar-
ing the book material.
Move to Kill Indictment.
Miss Bentley said he gave the
assistance only after the indict-
ment was returned last June 8.
But two prosecution witnesses,
former employees of Devin-Adair
Co., prospective publishers of the
book, testified on Friday that.
before the indictment, Mr. Bru-
mini was promised recompense
for helping with the book.
Mr.. Chanler said this revealed
gross impropriety in the grand
jury room" and moved unsuccess-
fully for dismissal of the indict-
ment. Federal Judge Gregory F.
Noonan held that Remington was
indicted by at least IL grand
Jurors. not just one.
