Price Control
Chief Watches
To Depend on Public
Opinion to Prevent
Unwarranted Rises
WASHINGTON, April 12.-i,JPy
Leon Henderson, chief of the
newly-created office of price ad
ministration and civilian supply,
indicated Saturday that he was
counting chiefly on public opinion
to prevent unwarranted price in
creases.. He told a press conference
that his agency's biggest weap
on of enforcement would be
"the moral support of the com
'munity," presumably gained by
calling public attention to price
; hikes which appeared, to be
1 n'lfliAiii sMiiib'miAii. '
k Beyond J that, Henderson - wras
vague about what means would
be used to hold down prices. He
said, however, that the agency
was clothed with sufficient power
to curb inflationary rises.
At the same time, he made
clear his view that supply and
demand inevitably must affect
prices, and that the one sure way
to prevent rises was to increase
production.
"You can't build ships or sir
planes out of price controls,"
he said in remarking that no
amount of penalties served as
a substitute for adequate sup
plies of essential commodities
and materials.
The agency, he said, already is
"watching" textiles, steel, coal,
drugs, chemicals, non-ferrous
metals, building supplies, ma
chines and equipment, and hides
and leather.
: After saying that steel prices
should not go higher, he added:
"We are watching wages as a
prime cost If there are unwar
ranted prospective wage rises we
will have decided interest in
them."

DuPont Lease
May Solve Air
Field Problem
Possibility that the question of
what to do with a powder storage
depot on land adjoining the Salem
municipal airport may soon be set
tled was indicated Saturday when
it was learned that the DuPont
company, lessee of the powder de
pots near the airport have taken
option on property in Polk county
as a possible powder storage site.
The powder house question has
been holding up award by the civil
aeronautics authority of the $128,
907 contract for expansion of the
Salem' airport. Although low
buildings, the powder houses are
considered hazards because of
CAA regulations prohibiting pilots
from flying within 1000 feet of
them.,-'
, Local agents of the DuPont com
pany could not be contacted for
verification, but the information
of the Polk county option came
from a reliable source.
The city has started condemna
tion proceedings on the two build
ings on the William Brown prop
erty near the airport but has been
anxious to provide the explosives
firm with an alternate site.
