. There is a saying often applied
to politics: The soup Is not served
a hot as it is cooked..
At first glance this may "not
seem to appiy to the senate version
of wartime controls ot the econo
my. Neither Immediate compulsory
controls were ordered, nor the
"alarm clock ' kind which once
was favored by the house commit
tee, where controls would be in
voked if the cost of living index
touched a certain figure. Instead
blanket eontr ol authority was
granted to the president. This is
broad and inclusive, ranging from
wage -price controls to allocation
and priorities and authority to re
strict consumer and real estate
credit, and rationing.
Actually, while the soup thus ap-
pears to be plenty hot the probabi
lity is that it win be allowed to
cool before being set on the table.
In fact, unless the Korean war
spreads it may not even be dished
ud. Not only is the president re
luctant to institute controls, but
the way the senate wrote the bill
he may be less inclined to do so.
: For the senate bin ties price and
wage controls together. If exercis
ed the controls would go into ef
fect simultaneously and across the
board. The house bin would permit
the president to be selective. Thus
he might apply price controls and
let wares ride, as President Roose
velt did for a time. With labor
hostile to wage controls Mr. Tru
man will surely put off as long as
possible application of universal
controls. ,
The two versions of control leg
islation wUl undoubtedly go to a
conference and the house version,
with administration support, may
prevail; but there is strong pres
sure to tie wage and price controls
