President Asks
Authority For
Price Ceilings
WASHINGTON, July 30-IAP)
President Roosevelt, usseitinR
inflatiunury price increases were
threatening to "undermine our
defense efforts" asked congress
tailay to nuthorize him to estab
lish ceilings for prices and rents.
"We face inflation, unless we act
decisively and without delay,"
hv said,
iThe president also requested in
a special message auiuumy w
purchase mmeriais and commo
dities when necessary to assure
price stability and to "deal more
extensively with excesses in the
field of installment credit."
While refraining from seeking
authority' to put a limit on wages,
he said he expected the volun
tary cooperation of labor to pre
vent labor costs from rising ab
normally. "Labor,"--Mr. Roosevelt said,
"has far more to gain from price i
stability than from abnormal
wage increases. For these are
likely to be Illusory, and quick
ly overtaken by sharp rises in
living costs which fall with par
ticular hardship on the least for
tunate of our workers and our old
jieople."
Congress Divided.
;Tho message went to a con
gress sharply divided on the ques
tion of price fixing. Already a
senate farm bloc has served no
tice it would oppose limits on ag
ricultural prices and only yester
day won senate approval of a bill
preventing the marketing during
the emergency of government
owned stocks on wheal and cot
ton.

Upper Limit to Be Set.
The concept of a price ceiling,
the president said, is "already fa
miliar to use as a result of our
own world war experience. Prices
lire not fixed or frozen; un upper
limit alone is set. Prices may
fluctuate below this limit , but
Ihey cannot- go above it." He
added:
"To make ceiling prices effec-i
live it will oflen be necessary, j
among other things, for the gov-1
ernmenl to increase the available j
supply of a commodity by pur-1
chases in this country or abroad.)
