Dec. 18-iJPi-An outbreak of war would bring an almost instant freeze of wages, prices and jobs if congress ap proves "looking ahead" plans of the staff of the National Security Resources board (NSRB). . The proposed "National War Emergency Act" rests on President Truman's desk, not yet approved by him or by the seven cabinet members who make up the board. It is nowhere near action by congress. A board spokesman said a draft may be made public about Jan uary 15 perhaps in a special message by Mr. Truman to con gress. The NSRB staff expects by then to have ready detailed operating plans for each of the 20 or so broad economic powers in the proposed law. "Very rigid" controls over man power would be included, it was stated. An excess profits tax, priorities, plant seizure powers, a ban against hoarding, and full rationing authority are planned. These standby powers would be vested in the president. He could invoke them at once if the coun try were attacked, by declaring a state of hostilities. If war's onset were slower a case of a cold war getting hotter it would be up to congress to declare the existence of the war emergency which would set the controls in motion. Most active U. S. centers for lightning are Vicksburg, Miss., Tampa, Fla., and Santa Fe. N. M., which average from 60 to 90 thun derstorm days a year.
