PAGE TWO The Week In ' Washington IX Resume of Governmental Hap- 1 pemngs in the National Capital : Washington. D. C.. Sept. 21. ? V Goaded or. by union leaders who threaten to demand higher wages in i war plants unless the cost ot living is decreased, several government agencies are now busy carrying on pro- J grams which they promise will bring the cost of living back, to the level el September 15. 1S42 " Although the plans for doing this will cosi the taxpayers nur.dreds of a millions oS dollars it isn't likely that J! the bojusew'ife. who does ti family buying, will note any major price ' relief. The cost of butter may be ? reduced a cer.t ,t pound, oranges may cost her a cent r two less. d ' there are apt to be ether reductions !' ot a penny or so in products she * buys. But since prices new vary considerably from store to store and ; from day to day. the only evidence j' of the reduction it the cost of living will show up ir. overall national a figures. " Already the government has spent _ mcnt' nx ill mn - r. , <> mr-lr -trrV.-.c on meat, but the expected benefits | I to the cor.sur.ier have not rnaUrU-l- J J 5zed because of black market operation* in meat. John U. MiBer president emeriti;-- : the .National C. ancit of Farm Cooperatives. at recent feecting of tana cooperatives here, said that the neat situation could cc cleared up until farmers get u better price for meat unci arcno longer encouraged to seek higher price? by dealing with black market operators. Mr. Miller called for repeal of the Price Control act saying that the prices formers receive must be established by supply and demand and not by artificial manipulation bat ! the government. ' While the unci administration is ore of ?h<: ijiwt disturoing and dangerous of all governmental agencies." said Mr. Miller. '.Ml has Inadvertently performed cue public service. This because its op- j orations arc such as to call alter.! ion if the people lo the dancer of a planned economy, toward which thiemmtry is so rapidly moving."' Whether if is meat or other farm products, spokesmen ai the farm i meeting said, prices to the farmer must he enough '<> pay for the cost of production, plus a reasonable profit. er larmers are forced to disregard ceding prices and sell at higii-. r prices through the black market. The new roil back pine for fruits and vegetables, to be carried but under the ditec (ion of Marvin Jones, War Food administrator, aims at an immediate reduction of 1 per cent in the cost of living. Seporale plans, to be operated by the WFA and by the Office of Price Administration, arc now in operation to lower the price to the consumer at apples, oranges, onions, lard, potatoes, peanut butter and edible vegetable oils, The plans include direct subsidies to farmers as well as transportation subsidies. The new program was started the day before Congress opened without authority from Congress. Mr. Jones said congressional approval was not needed, but it seemed likely thai congress will investigate these plans to determine whether the cost which will probably be 100 million dollars, is a worthwhile expenditure. Many congressmen are opposed to subsidies and do not think prices can or should be maintained by this meth-1 ad. They also feel that the launching of the program on the day before congress convened was a deliberate attempt to sidestep congressional opposition. It is likely, however, that the plan will get a thorough test before congress has time to do anything about it for the new sessicr. of congress is loaded with problems which dc- < mand immediate consideration. The ' food prices and subsidies are high on the list of subjects for consideration, but immediate action is also * called for on new taxes, on the manpower problem, on the complicate i subject of post-war planning and on more effective ar.ti-strike legislation.
