SENATOR FREAR
ON CONTROLS
Believes Defense Production
Act Will Be Extended
Another Year
GIVES REASONS

United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear said Monday night that the
Defense Production Act will prob
ably be extended for another year.
At the same time, however, he
warned that the dispute over wag-
es and prices in the steel industry
may make a difference in what
action Congress takes.
In a special address lover radio
station WIIM), the Senator dis
cussed in detail the arguments
both for and against the continua-
tion of the Act as they have been
presented before the Senate Bank
ing and Currency Committee.
Mr.. Frear pointed out that many
business men favor suspension of
controls because of high inventor
les and continuing production of
peacetime commodities. The Della
ware Senator said he sympathized
with this position, particularly be-
cause of some credit restrictions
which prevent extended payment
plans.
Senator Frear said, however,
that we are still facing a great un-
certainty in international affairs,
and as a result our military pre-
paredness program must be con-
tinued. This, he said, will require
continuing ALLEGATIONS of critical
materials and goods to the Defense
effort, thereby creating some short
ages of consumer goods. For these
reasons, he added, an extension of
the Defense Production Act ap-
pears necessary.
In his remarks, Senator Frear
also cautioned again against Excess
sive federal expenditures and high
taxes. He expressed the belief
that our economic system would. be
seriously damaged unless we fol-
dow careful and responsible fiscal
program.
