To Terminate
Price Control
Complete Abandoning
Scheduled by 1947
Washington. Oct. 15 ' (UP
In his speech last night, President
Truman left the door open for a com
plete " abandonment of wage controls
by the end of the year if not before.
Tonight, less than 24 hours later,
the Reconversion Advisory Board has
told Mr. Truman that wage controls
are dead and that the stabilization of
wages and prices should be made a
matter of collective bargaining be
tween labor and management. If
that recommendation is accepted
and there's reason to believe it will
be it will mean the end of our war
time control economy.
Office Readies End
The machine that will bring the na
tion back to- a free economy already
is rolling. The OPA is Vorking on a
list of hundreds of other items soon
to be freed from controls. It is be
lieved that when the OPA publishes
that list early in November, the only
items to remain under control will be
rents, cars, building materials furni
ture, household appliances and farm
equipment. When, that is done, an
estimated 60 to 65"- per cent of the
national economy will be uncontrol
led and the government will have
surrendered its leadership in the anti-inflation
fight to labor, industry,
and the consuming public.
