Businessmen Urge Death Of Controls
The U S Chamber of Commerce urged Congress to end wage and price controls and shift to indirect inflation remedies. Herman W. Steinkraus testified before the House Banking Committee arguing price controls stifle production, while James Carey of CIO accused business of trying to bribe unions to end controls. Carey named the Chamber and NAM, and cited Westinghouse offering a nine cent wage boost to sway unions. Steinkraus dismissed the accusation as insidious. The six recommended steps include higher production, reduced government spending, pay-as-you-go taxes, debt-neutral fiscal policy, credit curbs, and boosted personal savings. Meanwhile, OPS set ceiling prices on spring pack canners for asparagus, beans, spinach and greens, signaling slight spinach price cuts and possible asparagus price rises.

Navy Officer Fired Over Pro Red Letter Sparks Senate Clash
Former Lt. William H. Evans Jr of Edgewater Maryland says officers and men in Korea share views that the State Department is the enemy behind the enemy and that Acheson is a Red. Admiral Sherman disputes the charge and says Evans was dismissed after a letter calling Acheson pro-Red and pro-Soviet was published. Evans spoke after his commission was revoked, claiming his oath bound him to expose the truth and that his actions reflected the consensus of Far East personnel. The story notes Evans released the letter to Alfred Kohlberg and cites his claim of a duty to voice the opinion of the majority in the Far East.
