Price Control Renewal Fight
Centers On Two Amendments
BY PETER EDSON
: NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON. — (NEA) - Biggest argument
over vemewal of price gontrol legislation is apt to
eenter around the Capehart and Herlong amend
‘ments, President Truman's message to Congress
gave theny special treatment as “bad legislation.”
Florida Congressman A. 8. Herlong's amendment
guarantees wholesalers and retailers their pre-
C:(oru pereentage mark-ups on profits. This tends
Jo pyramid eost and price increases, instead of lim=
sting them to fixed dollars and cents amounts.
Indiana Senator Homer E. Capehart’s amend
ment is the more complicated and controversial of
the two, It permits sellers to apply for price in
creases based on cost increase prior to July 26,
1657,
".ae Office of Price Stabilization was trying to
ho!d prices imrline with costs as of January 26, 1951,
The Capehart amendment in effect gave business
an additional six months’ aliowance on cost in
creases,
When Governor Ellis Arnall of Georgia was be
inz examined by the Senate Banking Committee to
confirm his appointment as Director of Stabiliza
tion, Senator Capehart defended his amendment.
He said the whole price control law was good and
it had been well administered.
DEFENDS CONGRESS ON PRICE CONTROLS
The Hoosier Senator said Congress had always
beeneahead of the President on Price controls. He
accused the President of having done nothing about
controls from September, 1950, to January 26, 1851.
But since that latter date, prices had advanced only
three percent.
Referring to President Trunran’s half-dozen ex
ar.vles of price increases under the Capeharg
armendment, the Senator said the President could
have suspended those increases if they were “un
reasonable and excessive.”
Senator Blair Moody of Michigan nailed Senator
Capehart on that one. Senator Moody pointed out
that under the amendment, the President had no
aL hority to suspend the price increases themselves.,
All he could do was suspend the claims for un
re. conable and excessive increases in costs.
/s a matter of fact, nobody knows what effect
the Capehart and Herlong amendments have had
on prices, OPS is now trying to find out. But all it
‘has now is the few examples given the President
for his message to Congress, asking for repeal of
these amendments.
Up to now, only 1,194 manufactirers have filed
g ors for Capehart amendment price increases.
Ty cover 4,777 items.
"~ Jere are between 400,000 and 500,000 manufac=-
tu: g firms in the U. S. They may make several
milion lines of products.
It is therefore apparent that less than one-third
\o: 1 percent of these firms have applied for Cape=
hart amendment increases,
Included in these applications are 160 for nra
chinery price increases, 32 for forest products, 219
for food products, 79 for consumer soft goods such
as wearing apparel, 788 for consumer durable goods
such %5 household appliances, 467 for rubber,
chemical and drug products, and 3,032 industrial
products.
The big item in the last category is automobiles.
President Truman's message estimated that Cape
hart and Herlong price increases would cost auto
buyers S4OO million dollars next year.
NO ONE KNOWS ACTUAL COST INCREASE
"This figure is largely a guess that auto prices will
be increased by 5 percent. But nobody knows, be
cause not all the auto companies have as yet had
- their increases approved. Also, their price increases
" have not been reflected at retail.
OPS has turned down a number of applications
for Capehart and Herlong price increases because
they were submitted with incomplete cost account«
ing data. Still other applications have been cut back
from say 8 or 10 to 5 percent increases.
One reason there haven’t been more applications
for price increases under these amendments is that
so many firms do not have accurate cost accounting
systems.
Also, OPS forms 100 and 105 on which such ap
plications must be made are long and complicated.
In questioning Governor Arnall, Senator J. Allen
Frear of Delaware asked him, “Will you write reg
ulations that we laymen cam understand?”
Governor Arnall replied that he couldn’t guar
antee it, but that he would undertake to talk the
language of the man in the street.
Senator Moody nrade an admonition on that, too.
“Put in some periods ence in a while,” he advised
the new price boss.
These two warnings also put the finger on the
fundamental weaknesses of the Capehart and Her
long amendments. From the standpoint of trying to
administer them, they are almost unworkable leg
islation,
Triple Tragedy At Elizabeth
.
Calls For A Calm Appraisal
To the people responsible for air safety, as to the
stricken and frightened residents of Elizabeth, N. J.,
the third airplane crash in that city in two months
was almost too much.
Three in a row, with death riding them all, was
almost more than Elizabeth’s people could attrib-'
ute to mere coincidence. They were thoroughly
frightened and demonstratively angry.
They weren’t particularly concerned with the
cause of the crashes,
They wanted them stopped if it meant closing
down Newark Airport, on which the three doomed
planes were either taking off or landing at the
time of the tragic crashes.
Now the airport has been closed, But does that
solve the problem? By closing down Newark Air
port, said by some authorities to be the best
equipped in the country, a considerably heavier
load of traffic is imposed on remaining airports
serving commercial planes in the New York area.
Elizabeth, itself, certainly is in less danger, but
what about the communities surrounding the other
airports whose already heavily taxed facilities are
now even more strained?
The tragedy of Elizabeth has application at al
most any airport in the country where heavily
populated residential areas surround the field.
The Port of New York Authority closed Newark
Airport following a wave of near-hysteria among
the residents of Elizabeth after the last crash.
Undoubtedly the Authority had its good reasons
for so acting, but other communities faced with the
problems arising from a big nearby airfield would
do well to thing long before acting.
The airlines, which are intimately concerned
with the tragedies at Elizabeth, are faced with a
problem that would be almost insurmountable if
major airports are to be closed down following
crashes which could not definitely be attributed to
the efficiency of the airport itself.
Often a series of air crashes can be traced through
a pattern of causation. That is, some one type of
plane will develop flaws and by putting together
infornration on those flaws as they occur in several
planes, the pattern of cause can be established.
And then the situation can be remedied.
No such pattern seems to apply to the Elizabeth
crashes. In one sense this is unfortunate, for it de
prives the residents of the city of assurance they
80 badly needed.
It also leaves the airlines and airport authorities
no concrete point'upon which to base corrective
measures, as yet.
In the absence of some such reassuring tangible
basis for action, a rational and objective approach
to the problem is essential, for the peace of mind of
citizens, and for the future of air safety.
.
Create Beauty With Trees
Just about everyone will concur in the Atlanta
Journal’s comments on an article published rectnly
by Hubert Owens, pointing out the beauty that can
be created in any community by simply planting
trees.
The Journal's editorial follows:
“Trees can make the appearance of a town and
the lack of trees can help break it.
“One’of the most-attractive sights in the world
is a street of neat homes built along a green, leafy
lane. One of the most eye-catching things in any
city is a clump of trees in the barren pattern of as
phalt, concrete and bricks.
“In an article in the Georgia Local Governmental
Journal, Hubert Owens, head of the Landscape
Architecture division at the University of Georgia,
has proposed that towns can make themselves beau
fiful by simply planting trees.
“Mr. Owdens writes that Georgia's climate de=-
mands shade trees in the summer. He advises the
towns not to plant evergreens, as the sun is wel«
come by resident and tourist alike in the winter.
He also warns against planting bushy trees between
the curb and the sidewalk, as they will constitute
a traffic hazard in time.
“Trees can be good for the town’s economy. A
well-planted village or city autonratically attracts
people, and gives the town a pleasant cared-for
look that may even attract new industry.
“Mr, Owens’ idea is a fine one. Much beauty can
be had very cheaply. We can think of no finer pro-«
ject for the state’s many vigorous garden clubs than
a tree-planting program for their communities.”
Retirement ought to be based on a man’s ability
and a man’s desire, not on his age.—Maurice Tobin,
Secretary of Labor,
We should cooperate with any countries who will
cooperate but I don’t know how we can make coun=
tries defend themselves if they don't want to.—
Senator Milton Young (R.-N.D.).
The Chinese are far more civilized — they turn
and run when they know they are licked. The North
Koreans are just fanatical aborigines, — Lt. Jerry
O’Leary former Washington newsman.
He is laying the foundation (in Europe), but he
won't stay there forever, I don’t know how long he’s
going to stay.—W. Averell Harrinran on General
Dwight Eisenhower.
Perhaps we would have received a longer (POW)
list from the Communists if our missing men had
received medical attention six months ago.—Sena
tor Styles Bridges (R.-N.H.).

My only justificatioin for speak
ing up on such an intimate, highly
personal subject lies in the hope
that no matter how unimportant
my own contribution may be, per
haps someone else may be stimu
lated to clarify his own beliefs and
thus add to his own bigger contri

this series of credos.
In a complex society and a com
plex civilization the individual is
inevitably confused much of the
time. But I believe that the basic
solution of all world and group
problems must first be solved by
the individual himself. Each one
of us, whether we publicly admit
it or not, has a deeply spiritual
side. Not one of us can conceal it
—scratch the surface and it is al
ways there. So first of all—and
underlying all my credo—l be

taken too much living on my part
to discover that real happiness,
which sounds so selfish and self
centered, is never achieved merely
by selfish materialism—it can on

if it is bound up with unselfish
ness—a consideration for others.
Service is the very essence of it.
It has been said that “Service is

greatest worldwide vice. It seems
as though all the world had the
“gimmies,” selfishly grasping for
power and more power at national
levels, with individuals selfishly
struggling for material things at
their own level.
Each one of us needs a sense
of humor with its balancing fac
tor of a sense of proportion. I
believe a sense of humor brings
poise and a start towards under
standing.
My credo embraces a joyous ap
proach for me towards my fellow
man and for collective groups
towards each other. I want none
of that grim hell-fire-and-brim
stone stuff that flourished in the
early days of our country—a reli
gion of frightening fear of the
hereafter—why even their old
church pews were as uncomfort
able as strait-jackets! A joyous
approach towards living even
cheers you yourself—o say noth
ing of its warmth that eases the
burden of others. :
I believe that Brotherhood can
grow from this to help destroy
forever the seeds of friction and
injustice that stems from group
minority prejudices,
If only each one of us can de
velop a sound philosophy and
work out a course of conduct as
individuals, then I believe we can
solye our world problems at the
international level. Thomas Mann
once gave this challenging defini
tion: “War is only a rowardly es
cape from the problems of
peace.” With Falith and good will
in our hearts and with peace in
our souls and minds, surely we
can leave this world the better for
our having lived in it.
