Administration pressure to force the adoption of President Truman's panacea inproposed volving wage and price controls was increasing steadily. Latest in a procession of cabinet members testifying before congressional committees in favor of price controls was Clinton P. Anderson, secretary of agriculture. He bluntly warned the house banking and currency committee that unless rising meat costs are halted price controls on that commodity would be necessary by early spring. Describing meat and grain as foodstuffs in which early shortages can be foreseen, Anderson pointed jut he JikelihocxLlhat early 1948 would see fantastically high prices of meat. There was a profusion of thinking on the Inflation problem which so far had done little except to promote widespread disagreement and uncertainty among the people.

Secretary of the Treasury John Snyder issued a direct challenge to congress to come up with some workable idea 'of Its own" to combat rising costs of living. Earl Bunting, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, epitomized the attitude of private business and industry in general by calling for greater production per man per day, reduced taxes and a curb on experts. What it amounted to was this: You either were in favor of price and wage controls or against them. You pay your money and you take your choice; but in any event, with inflation a predominant condition of the economy, you pay your money. n prominent suporters. Since there apparently Is no way of eliminating inflation in the foreseeable future, the CIO decided, the best thing American labor can do is to string along with That was the philosophy behind CIO President Philip Murrays announcement that the labor organization would seek general wage Increases for Us six million workers in basic industries.

It is hardly likely that Representative Vito Marcan-tonlwho has the support of Communists in New York, would vote for UMT. Outside of congress, the church organizations and a large army of mothers are opposed. The only way their view can be changed, UMT supporters say, is to convince them that our boys will be safer trained than untrained, that in every war we have had to have a trained citizen army in the end.
