The purpose is to see if a few more dollars for dafense couldn't be collected this hard way. Over 52,000,000 returns have been filed in each of the last few years. It's impoisible to do more than a superficial audit on them all. Comnfen belief has been that only the big income returns were checked carefully, but this is said to be not so. This fact, however, is still under I study by the embryo legal staff of the ESA. How they interpret it will be revealed only when 1CSA hanlls down directives to director of Price Stabilization Michael l)i Salle and the Wage Stabilization board under Chairman Cyrus: Ching. Their regulations, in turn, will give detailed interpretations i on how the law is to be adminis- tered. It may be a matter of week? or even months before any such orders can be issued. That part of the defense produc-j lion act of 1950 which is intended to govern price and wage controls is Section 402. You'll be hearing a lot about 402 as the war goes on. There are nine sub-sections to it, 14 paragraphs under three of the liristmas lights the vuorlfl tonight. May the Yuletide candle's gleam pring the joys of which you dream. And the Light that casts out fear Stay with you throughout the year. LEE MORTENSEN, Inc. S. W. (Bill) MILLER LES HAMMOCK ED RANKIN LEE MORTtNSEN H. K. HOCKETT RANDLE HOCKETT sub-sections and a score or more of clauses and exemptions in the other sub sections. It's an uncharted wilderness for laymen, but probably a paradise for lawyers who will probably be iiling suits and getting rich lor a longtime in testing its various pro visions. If the Congress had de liberately tried to make the thing unworkable and get it all snarled up in the courts, it couldn't have done better. The price-wage matter seems to i center in paragraphs (b)-(2), lb) (3 ) and (4). Paragraph 13)" says that when ever a ceiling has been imposed on a particular material or ser vice, the President snail siaouue wages, salaries and other compen sation in the industry or business producing the material or perform ing the service. This seems to be pretty specific, clear and without loopholes It would apply to putting ceilings on single materials like steel, or single products like automobiles to name two products where the recent price increases are hot subjects rieht now. Under paragraph (b)-(2) the act says that a ceiling price may be esljblished by the President "only" when he finds that the price: (1) has risen "unreasonably" above the May 25-June 24, 1950, level; (II) will "materially" affect the cost of living or. national de fense; (111) is necessary to curb inflation; (IV) is practicable to im pose; and (V) "will be generally fair and equitable." Here you have enough road blocks to stop any price or wage controls. What constitutes an "un reasonable" price rise? Are price curbs on autos necessary to check inflation? Doubtful. Would they be practicable to impose? Yes, easy. And they could be made fair and equitable to buyers and sellers. As fcr the cost of living increase itself, paragraph (b) (4) of 402 says that whenever ceilings on prices have been established on materials and services comprising a sub stantial part of all sales at retail and materially affect the cost of living, then the PresiUent shall (1) impose ceilings on prices and services generally; and (II) stabi lize wages, salaries and other com pensation generally. Does this mean that the Presi dent can't issue any order for gen eral maximum price ceilings, as was done in the last war, until most of the items entering into the cost of living are first frozen in dividually? If all these sound like crazy questions, they are not. They are the very practical matters which ESA and the auto industry repr- Fire Erases Business Block In Alberta Town RYLEV, Alta.

ROUGH GAME DETROIT UP End Dick Ri fenburg of the Detroit Lions isn't sure that football is so much more rugged a sport than basketball. The Lion wingman completed his first year in pro football without single injury. Then, after the sea son, he tried his hand at the cage game.
