levels during the period from last Dec 19 to Jan 25 Applicable it Once It is applicable immediately It Is designed to hold back ing prices and wages while officials work out celling formulas aimed at staving off dangerous inflation For prices it specifically hibits buying or selling in the regular course of business or trade any commodity or service at a price higher than lhat ed during the Dec 25

numerous nnd of products sold on the farm Both were apparently drawn up with an eye to future adjustment production act limits power to check them The order simply freezes all wages and salaries as of ft was by Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston and given to the press by Cyrus H chairman of the wage stabilization board Ching Disgruntled DiSalle and Ching announced the double-barreled action at a

fice and self-restraint of the whole country Freeze at Farm Level The price order is extremely complex with respect to farm ducts and food First of all there is no freeze t any prices at the farm level But on the processing sale and retail levels food prices are frozen tight If the farm prices of those foods are above parity Thus beef Veal and lamb prices are frozen At first officials were uncertain about but later tonight they unnounced that pork and all pork products definitely are included in Hie freeze Parity is a sliding scale designed to keep farm prices at a fixed relation to the farmer's costs The law prohibits price ings below parity But most farm products are be- low parity Poultry and eggs are examples And on the wholesaler and retailer may not raise prices to increase their gins but when the farmer's price goes up increase will be passed along all the way to the consumer The defense production act ex- empts a number of other things rom price controls including the charged in the tion and publication books magazines dio television and theater sions Utilities and common riers are also exempt because their rates are fixed by other regulatory agencies DiSalle replied to dozens of questions about the price order rom anxious reporters who were old they couldn't get copies of he text until later in the light Why didn't he roll back prices further Ihan one day He explained that such a move would have delayed the effective date when companies must start three or four weeks Instead the effective date of both the price and wage orders is last midnight DiSalle said it may be possible to roll back some prices when ceilings are issued for specific ducts He said his on three orders now that will retailers and wholesalers margins that the nation again has all-out controls as in the war years many wondered how long the controls would remain this time On that point Eric Johnston told the economic committee earlier in the day that he thought controls could be re- moved before too of the American people will understand the causes of inflation and cooperate to remove them To accomplish this he said taxes must he high enough to balance the budget not
