letdown. For weeks they have
been saying controls would be put
on. When the freeze finally comes,
after everyone has marked up
prices in anticipation of it, they
see to it that we will be paying
the highest"
An official of a large food chain
here yesterday offered some SYM
pathy and hope to the housewife.
Consumer Hit Hard.
He said that apparently "the
only one who is going to be hard
hit is the consumer" but then
added that, just as during World
War II, some prices undoubtedly
would drift lower than the CELL
ingS.
Joseph Danzansky, counsel of
the Super Market Association of
Washington and head of the
wholesale food division of the
Merchants and Manufacturer AS
ISOLATION, called the new price Or
der confusing"
Instead Of putting ceiling on
certain agricultural commodities
like butter, flour, eggs and peas,
the Government is freezing the
margin of mark-up over cost" he
asserted. This will confuse the
consumer who will find different
prices for the same items in diff
ferent stores. There should be a
dollar r-and-cents lid on all items. !"
Mr.. Danzansky predicted the
supermarkets would have a tre-
mendous job figuring mark-ups.

dairy here observed.
Dairy sources point out that the
national average price for whole
milk is below 100 per cent of
parity. Under the law, such farm
commodities are exempt from
price control.
Labor Reaction Restrained.
On the local labor front, re-
action to the price-wage order

Livestock Man Says Control
Assures Plentiful Meat

JACKSONVILLE. Ill.,, Jan. 27.
The head Of a livestock feeders
group said today the Govern
ments new meat price controls
assure an abundance" of beef
and veal.
However, Chauncey B. Watson,
president of the Corn Belt Live
stock Feeders Association, said
higher pork ceilings are needed to
make it worth while for farmers
to raise hogs.
Otherwise, he said, they will sell
their corn instead of using it to
fatten pigs.
Mr.. Watson said the controls
will result in a meat supply
enough to give each civilian 148
pounds of meat after military re-
quirements are met.
The beef ceilings, Mr.. Watson
said, ARE high enough to warrant
us to go out and buy feeder cat
tie, fatten them in our lots and
pay us for the risk of feeding
them rather than selling our
grain"

It was difficult to find a cham
pion of the governments wage
price freeze order in the ranks of
housewives and organized labor
here yesterday.
Some housewives registered swift
and bitter reaction to the price
freeze.
The consensus, among those in
terviewed by The Star, was that
the new order, in effect. freezes
inflation.' They protested that
there was no rollback to lower
levels.
Labor leaders here were less
heated in their comments on the
companion order holding wages to
present scale, but there was a
feeling that adjustments for more
pay would not be too difficult to
obtain.
A typical housewife reaction was
that of Mrs. John L. Ohmans of
357-B South Stafford street, Fair
lington. the mother of three young
children.
Il am awfully disappointed, .
she said. Food is our biggest ex-
pense and the order apparently
means there. is to be no relief
from inflated prices. Not even
consumer-resistance will be able
to bring them down now.

AFL 10 Act Promptly
Against Wage Freeze,
Green Declares
BY the Associated Press

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Jan. 81
The American Federation of La
Dor. plans to take prompt action
against the wage and price freeze,
President William Green said
today.
He told interviewers that he
and his executive officers are
"going back to Washington and
present our views in opposition as
soon as possible to the wage and
price authorities.
The AFL's Executive Council is
in annual session here and hopes
to complete business the middle
of next week.
There ought to be some flexi-
bility in wage levels as they now
stand" Mr.. Green said. Some
of the unions in our federation
are negotiating for new contracts
which contain equitable increases.
This new Government order ap-
parently rules this out"
He said that serious inequities"
now exist in the Ladies Garment
Workers contract along with con-
tracts in the textile, chemical,
canning and food production in
dustries.
The AFL leader said some in
terpretations of the sweeping or
der freezing most prices at the
January 25 level indicated there
might be some feXibility in deal
ing with wage controls.
If the regulations allow us an
to deal with the in
equities and to insist upon parity
between wages and prices, then
we probably would regard them as
less Objectionable than at pres
ent." Mr.. Green said.
He gave these three reasons
why he thought the wage freeze
was unfair to labor:
81. Some prices are not under
control (agriculture) and rises in
this field would directly affect the
worker whose wages were frozen.
%. Some contracts now have
an 'escalator clause whereby the
wage scale is pegged on the cost
of living index. Under the wage
freeze act the wage scale cannot
rise to meet the rising cost of
living.
SO. Some contracts, already ne
gotiated, call for raises at a future
date. These would be nullified and
the wage increases already bar
gained for would be illegal"

Phone Pay Increase
Unaffected by Freeze,
Company Believes

Wage increases granted nearly
5000 traffic department employees
became effective last Sunday, the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. said yesterday in carefully
worded statement on possible eff
fects of the Governments wage
| freeze.
Because the new agreement was
signed Friday. a day after the eff
fective date of the wage freeze,
the question of it's validity was
raised.
Yesterday the company ap-
peared to take the position that
the wage raise is valid until proved
otherwise. j.. r. B. Crigler, vice
president and general manager.
said:
I'm accordance with our usual
practice to make payroll changes
effective at the beginning of the
week, the agreement provided for
the wage increases to become ef-
fective January 81. 1851"
Subject to Any Revisions.
The company thus apparently
has interpreted the wage increase
as having become effective last
Sunday, four days before the price
freeze date.
Mrs. Eleanor Jane Palmer. pres
ident Of Division so, CIO-Commu-
nications Workers of America. said
she was Informed by the company
that wages for operators and
others affected by the new agree
ment now are being figured at the
new scale, new employees are being
hired at those rates. and paw
checks Of next Thursday should
reflect the increase.
1t was understood that the COM
pany's decision to institute the
increase of from So to $5 week
was subject to any revision which
might be necessitated under the
freeze order.
Others to Request Bargaining.
The freeze came at a time when
Division 36. CIO-CWA, represent
ing plant, maintenance and COM
mercial employees, was planning
to ask for wage increases.
Glenn E. Watts, president of
this group of $500 workers, said
he expected to request bargaining
meetings with the company today
and pointed out that the unions
last general wage increase came
in 1948.

Fifty per cent of the funds
raised here, it was pointed out,
go to the national foundation for
research, education. a polio epi-
demic fund for local chapters
which run out of money, and other
national activities.
1t was reported that there were
1876 cases of polio in the District

l949. The local chapter, how
ever, handled many more cases
in the Maryland and Virginia
suburbs. The total number of
polio cases in the Washington
area was 303 in 1850 and 295 in
1949.

order on use of tin in cans:
l. Permits the unlimited use of
plate with lighter tin coating for
cans for all fruits, vegetables,
fish and milk.
2. Holds to 1850 levels the
use of tin plate for cans for prac-
tically all meat products, baking
mixes. candies. cocoa and many
other dry products.
3. Cuts back by 10 per cent the
use of tin plate for cans for
such products as beer, glycerine,
cold cream, tooth powder, pet
foods and disinfectants.
Tin Plates Eliminated.
4. Cuts out tin plate entirely
for sucn products as coffee, tea
and spices. BLACK plate" which
is steel with a laquer coating, may
be used for these. A tin can is
basically steel with thin coat
ing of tin.
In a series of orders, the NPA
also banned any use of tin not
expressly authorized and listed
about sc articles in which the use
Iof tin is prohibited specifically
These include such things as but
tons and buckles, costume Jewel.
ry, pewter metal, refrigerator trays
and shelves. paper clips and slot
machines.
Among other things affected
are:
l. CollapSible tubes. Effective
Immediately the use of tin in these
tubes is limited according to the
use OF the tube and the use OF
aluminium in them is cut back IL
per cent. There is no limit on the
TIN IN tubes containing foods and
certain medicinal ointments and
drugs. Tubes for dentrifices are to
contain not more than S per cent
tin and for cosmetics and shaving
cream not more than 3 per cent
Tin Coating Reduced.
Closures, including bottle caps,
jar lids and jelly glass tops. There
is no restriction on the number
that may be used but the tin coat
ing is reduced where that is pos
sible. 1t applies to caps for bottled
beer, soft drinks and juices and
tops for bottled olives, cherries,
pickles. flavoring extracts and
sauces. This order likewise is ef-
fective Immediately.
An NPA officials said that there
appears little or no prospect of
another can collecting campaign
such as was carried on in World
War II. He said the tin coating on
cans has been so reduced that the
amount Of the metal salvaged
from them would not be worth
the effort.
The new controls are estimated
to reduce tin consumption about
one third.
