Show New Police Chief Named by City Officials ! ' I ! I Frederick p. Champ, director of United States chamber of com- - j east j merce, returned from the attended Wednesday where he of the chamber board i and committees at Washington D. j C., Mortgage Bankers association j of America at Chicago, and the j board of the American Forestry ; I association at New York city. j Mr. Champ is chairman of the , lands j on public of the national chamber, When interviewed, he made It clear that he was expressing his own opinions and not those of above referred the organizations J The time has come to remove price and other controls which our experience has now demonstrated are The bottlenecks hampering production as the country passes from a war to a peacetime economy. Even business opinion is still divided in some quarters, but I espersonally am convinced that sential production is being stymied not only by strikes and disputes in the field, but also by the continuation of government price controls, obstruct and which invariably remove the incentive for the procomponent duction of essential parts of manufactured articles are and the materials which needed not only to produce these but to provide the housing which is so urgently required in this and We must expect country. the surge inflationary accept which would accompany the removal of these controls, but production In most lines will soon thereafter catch up with the demand and the price level will adjust itself on a level dictated by economic laws in a free competitive economy. In my opinion, the removal of to rent controls should extend and price controls on new housing, although it may bo necessary and desirable to retain modified and temporary rent control on existing housing in some sections while the supply of new under way. housing is getting nt a ' is 1 tezrati ve to --th an ever increasing application and continuous adjustment of the now being centralized controls imposed, with a stalemate on the production and labor fronts and a potential inflation caused by the growing accumulation of purchasing power while our factories lie idle and our enterprises are unable to get all of the materials required to producer their manufactured articles at a profit. I dont believe the consumer and the working man will be injured nearly as much by taking the this step as by continuing present program. Furthermore, I believe that with the establishment of a statesmanlike labor polhave icy this country should declared prosperous days ahead, Mr. Champ. He further reiterated a ously expressed opinion that the countrys experience in the six had months following V-- J day clearly demonstrated the necessity for changing existing labor legislation and the enactment of such limited additional legislation as is necessary to provide equal responsibility under the law for parties to a labor contract. Such fundamental justices in the rules, accompanied, by a renewed disposition on the part of both labor and management to get together in the public interest, will contribute to the essential building of a strong America and will enhance the nation's influence abroad in the establishment and maintenance of world peace, Mr. Champ concluded. Resignation Of Ickes Draws Comment The reported resignation of se- the Interior, Harold L. cretary Ickes, vacates a high government which is of the utmost concern to the people of the West, and it retires from the cabinet an able administrator who has been a throughout the administration of two presidents beof storm-cent- er cause of his policies and his desire for power, said Frederick P. Champ. While we have disagree violently with the program of Federal encroachment upon the resources of the public lands which has characterized the administration of Secretary Ickes, and have fought him at every turn, we have respected his forthrightness and his capacity. It is to be hoped that his retirement will bring to this important post a western man who understands who apour problem first-hanthe preciates the necessity for productive use of our resources if the West is to prosper, and who, therefore, will join the Congress under the leadership of the Senate committee on Public Lands in our public land and western resource policies. d, I Eli Drakullch, 31. of Salt Lake city, although not officially ap- -' pointed, Thursday wa announced as the chief of police of Logan by Curtis L.
