This 82d Congress faces as

The actions you take will be

These actions will measure the
ability of a free people, acting

We can meet this challenge
foolishly or wisely. We can meet

I know that the 82d Congress

these debates there will come
the great decisions needed to
carry us forward.
At this critical time, I am glad
to say that our country is in

that the aggression in Korea

Our men are fighting a LONG
way from home, but they are
fighting for our lives and our

protect our right to mes here

The threat of world conquest

Indeed. the state of our Nation

the world. The gun that points
at them points at us, also.
The threat is a total threat

danger.
All free nations are exposed
and all are in peril. Their only
security lies in banding together.
No one nation can find protec-

The free nations do not have
any aggressive purpose. We

The old contract expired at

A throng of pickets shufled

Close behind the truck was a

feels that, without strict ration

prices can be controlled, really

His statements were made in
an interview with the United
States News and World Report, a
weekly magazine published here.
His statements in the article
came while Washington waited for
a decision on the proposal that
would require all business con-
Germs to give 80 days notice before
raising prices. The effect of this
plan. advanced by Michael v. Di
Sale. price director in the ESA,
would be to freeze all prices for
that period.
Loss in Production Feared.
Mr.. Valentine is reported to op-
pose such a step. while Charles E.
Wilson, head of the Office Of De-
fense Mobilization, who has top
authority in such matters, is said
to favor it.
Mr.. Wilson said today he hoped
there would be a decision some
time this week. He said he has
been trying to ascertain the facts
in the matter which he described
as highly complex"
He minimized reports of fric-
ton between Mr.. Valentine and
Mr.. Di Sale. He said there are
bound to be differences of opinion
In anything that affects the econ
omy as the freeze proposal would
affect it.
In the magazine interview, Mr..
Valentine said he was doubtful OF
the wisdom of general price anc
wage controls now because they
might hurt production.
THE loss to production" he
said, might more than offset the
gain in control of imitation"
1t was disclosed also today that
Mr.. Valentine has ordered speed
in building up the agency's staff
to a size where it will be able to
deal with the knotty problems
before it.
December Delay Explained.
Mr.. Valentine said in the in
terview that a freeze of prices and
wages in December would not have
been a good thing because the
agency did not have the staff to
handle complaints. This, he said,
would have resulted in "a build
up Of i'll feeling and impairment
of production because we couldn't
cope with the situation"
Il hope definitely we will be
able to cope by mid-1951, if neces-
sary," he added. I'm fact. we will
be ready to cope by the first Of
March, I think"
