(OMtfbuMi u etc* Twe) Final Decision Is Pending On Price Situation WASHINGTON HP)—Presi dent Truman said today he is considering calling a snec ial session of congress to deal with the rise in prices. However, he toll a news con ference he has made no final decision. Mr. Truman said he has the question under consideration, but will have to wait and see if he thinks it is necessary. He declined to comment on re ports that Price Stabilizer Ellis j Arnall has resigned or is planning to resign. Associates of Arnall have said he plans to quit Sept 1. ONLY REASON Mr. Truman was asked if the price situation would be the only reason for calling congress back into special session if he decides to do so. He said it would be. He gave no indication of at what time he might call a special session should he consider it necessary. Meanwhile, Arnall’s statement yesterday that Mr. Trurtian might have to call the Congress back into session to deal with the price situa tion drew brickbats from both Re publicans in Congress and his own j colleagues. CALLED RIDICULOUS 1 Rep. Jesse P. Wolcott, R-Mich., ranking GOP member of the House Banking Committee, said it was “perfectly ridiculous” for Arnall to . suggest that Mr. Truman call Con. gress back to tighten price controls. Secretary of Agriculture Charles , F. Brannan challenged Amall’s ’. prediction that the summer-long ' drought in Eastern and Southejji states will drive up food And Stabilization Director Roger L. , Putnam indicated he does nojt share .- »*rnaM's apprehensions about the’ recehf steel price increase, i Arnall paid a call at the White House yesterday. He told report i ers he “suggested” to Mr. Truman that ‘it may be necessary and pro per to call a special session if food ■ prices continue to get out of hand.” BLAMES WEAK LAWS 1 Arnall said the “serious” price , situation resulted from the weak ened controls law which Congress , passed just before adjourning, the , drought, and over-ceiling price increase which acting Defense Mobilizer John R. Steelman order i ed him to grant to the steel in dustry to settle a 55-day strike. The former Georgia governor de > dined to say whether he submitted . his resignation to Mr Truman. But i associates said Arnall went to the , White House with his mind made . up to quit Sept. 1, and Arnall him self hinted Mr. Truman might have l an announcement on the subject today. County commissioners Immedia tely called a meeting of the board Wednesday at 7:30 p. m. in the courthouse in Lillington, to consid er tire matter. They found that there is sufficient surplus accrued from the health department funds to meet this need, but since the budget for the new year already has been enacted they saw no way to use this money for undesigna ted purposes.
