President Hits Labor
Business on Initiation
Asks Action
=. "a
VoluntoriIyto
Avert Curbs
By GOULD LINCOLN

President Eisenhower told his
press conference today that If
business and labor fail to deal
effectively with the problem of
imitation. the Federal Govern
ment will have to move in with
some form of controls. This was
in line with the clear implica-
tons of his State-of the Union
message to Congress in January.
His comments on the dangers
of imitation came after he had
been asked If he were concerned
about the increases in the price
Iof oil and gasoline in this coun-
try. The President replied that
he had so far not received re-
port on these increases from the
Office of Defense Mobilization.
Their own long term good. the
President said, should convince
both business and labor that
some wisdom must be voluntarily
imposed by them, both to head
of imitation and to make Gov
Iernment controls unnecessary.
The Chief Executive, looking
in the best Of health and telling
tine reporters-in answer to
Equestion-that he felt as well as
he did before his heart attack
lin 1855, covered a long list Of
subjects in his. comments.
Wary on Supreme Court
His attention was called to re-
ports that Attorney General
Brownell and former Gov. Dewey
of New York have been men,
toned for appointment to the
Supreme Court, to fill the
vacancy created by the retire.
ment of Associate Justice Reed,
effective February IS. A re-
porter wanted to know If the
President would stick to his
previously announced intention
tof making appointments to the
highest court from the Federal
land State judiciary.
/ The President said he would
not use the word always" when
1t came to a method for selecting
members of the Supreme Court.
He reiterated his belief. however.
that appointments should be
made from candidates with ju-
dicial experience and that he pre-
ferred to make such appoint.
ments. He added that there could
be other appointments. from men
with high level attachments and
regulations. as for example the
late John w. Davis and the late
Elihu Root. He did not indicate
whether he considered Mr..
Brownell and Mr.. Dewey of that
caliber.
Gordon Gray Selected
One appointment announced
by the President today, however,
was that of Assistant Secretary
of Defense Gordon Gray to sue
coed Arthur B. Flemming as de-
Tense mobilizer. Mr.. Flemming
will resume his former position
as president of Ohio Wesleyan
University.
On the matter of civil rights,
the President said he strongly
desires the passage of the adj
ministration's civil rights bill,
now before Congress, and saw
no impelling reason why he
should make a speech in the
South on civil rights. as he has
been invited to do.
Mr.. Eisenhower said he had
made many speeches dealing
with civil rights in the past and
did not know what good purpose
another would serve at this time.
He said, too, that he had a heavy
agenda of business on his desk
and also needed time for exer-
else in order to keep himself fit
for the work he has to perform.

NEW YORK, May 17.-How

What looks like q puzzling par
adox Is perhaps Just q shift in
our way Of living and in our
way Of thinking about Govern
ment policies and industrial labor
trends.
About half Of the latest rise in
personal incomes is due to in
creased Government payments to
individuals. Much Of the rest
comes from rising wage scales.
Almost all Of the latest dip In

Output Of nondurable con-
sumner goods, on the other hand,
has risen to O new high and the
construction industry has re.
covered from its March dip.
Some Of the shift In our way
of living doubtless is temporary,
Consumer buying swings back

like autos and household appN-
ances and the nondurables like
