AFL President Asks
Congress TO Bolster,
Not Weaken, Controls
By Froneis P. DouoIos

President William Green Of the
American Federation Of Labor
asked Congress today to strength
en-. not weaken, the economic
controls Of the Defense Produc-
ton Act.

Of prices succeeds 1T win con-
Stitute q major disaster to our
defense effort" Workers, he said.
cannot be expected to watch
Iomplacently wholesale decontrol
Of prices while their wages still
are under control"
No Recommendations.
Mr.. Green said the AFL does
not have any recommendations to
make in regard to the sections Of
the law dealing with wage stabil-
ization. This does not mean, he
added, that his organization is en-
tirely satisfied.
On the contrary. he said. the
AFL considers many regulations
and policies of the Wage Stabili-
Eation Board unduly restrictive to
collective bargaining. He added
that the WSB is handicapped by
IN inadequate budget.
Suggests Subsidies.
Mr.. Green suggested the use OF
subsidies to control food prices IF
farm prices start to climb sharp
ly." He said this would prevent
increases in prices paid farmers
from being passed on to the gro,
cery.
The Senate committee is hold
ing hearings on extension Of the
act, with its price. wage and other
controls. The administration has
asked a two-year extension and
repeal Of amendments adopted
last year which it considers re-
strictive. Mr.. Green joined in the
recommendations for the repeals,
but wanted nc change in the
amendment relaxing credit con-
trolls for home building.
