AIM: MARSHALL Erwin Workers Stay On Strike As Settlement Attempt Faili Ban On Control Os Farm Prices Is Predicted WASHINGTON, May 8— (IP) —Chairman Harold D. Cooley of the House Agri culture Committee predict ed today Congress will ban further ceilings on farm products if the new beef price rollback order “works badly.” The North Carolina Democrat made the forecast as the House Banking Committee opened hear-' ings on continuing the Defense Production Act The Committee c_Jed Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson for his second day of congressional testimony. Cooley said actual operation of Price Stabilizer Michael V. DiSalle’s beef "price rollback will have a great influence on congressional thinking. He said Congress may refuse, to continue DiSalle’s auth ority to curb farm prices.

Representatives of the nation’s top farm, livestock and meat pack ing organisations denounced gov ernment meat controls at a round table conference last night The moat spokesman refused, however, to say how much—if any thing—packers or distributors would lose under DiSalle’s order. They in sisted that the only result of the order would be to discourage pro duction and drive meat into the black market. DiSalle told the House Agricul ture Committee yesterday that the rollback is fair to everyone and will not cut production or result in meat rationing. Beef prices have increased much more than wages, DiSalle said, and would ruin the en tire stabilization program if per mitted to go uncontrolled.

The president didn’t mention his ousted Far Eastern coinander by name but he turned down, point by point, toe measures MacArthur has advocated for extending the Korean conflict to Communist China. MacArthur urged toe bombing of Red bases in Manchuria, a mili tary and economic blockade of China and use of Nationalist troops from Formosa. And, the general said, if necessary we should go It alone. Mr. Truman gave his reasons for rejecting , such proposals. Among them, he said, it might: L Load to -a bigger and longer war In Asia, with enormously In creased ctsulUes. 2.

"The path of collective security is our only sure defense against the dangers that threaten us,” he said. “It is toe path to peace In Korea; it the path to peace in the world.” The president took cognizance of the angry debate lrt* Congress which followed hid dismissal of MacArthur for publicly opposing the administration’s conduct of toe Korean War.

This policy, Marshall toDd senators investigating the dismissal of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, is keyed to a de termination to avoid an at omic war without appease ment. He said it might cost Americans years of patience, \ “courage, and poise.” He said 15 the alternative was the hoi* | ocaust of all-out war.
