President Truman plans to bolster wage and price controls by naming industry members to the Wage Stabilization Board and appointing Joseph H. Freehill as administrator of the Office of Price Stabilization. Freehill will cut OPS staff due to funding limits, with about 1,000 losses in field offices and 400 in Washington. He has a brief tenure ahead given the ongoing control program political pressure.

Regional Wage Officials Quit In Protest
MINNEAPOLIS Chairman Ire Polley of the Eighth Region Wage Stabilization Board says he hopes the seven industry members who resigned on Friday will reconsider. About 300 applications for wage adjustments have piled up as meetings were boycotted for a week. The group’s statement argues that since the Defense Production Act, wage stabilization has meant relaxation of controls rather than stability. Resignations were submitted by Arnett Leslie, Arthur Egan both of Minneapolis, Lyle Fisher of St. Paul, and alternates C. H. Burns of Duluth, John Schlitz of Billings, Montana, Frank Gleeson of Minneapolis, and Arthur Lampland of St. Paul. No immediate comment from the group on Polley’s plea.
