CMrtler Bowles, director of eco- trt»- - stabilization, has appealed to Wrt ubtxw’i business men to join witt their customers in support of efUe ve price control legislation that would “keep inflation from overwhelming our economy.” Bowles, in effect, urged individu­ al manufacturers and merchants to repudiate the view of the National Association of Manufacturers and other organized business groups re­ flected in the house-approved price control extension bill which would cripple the Office of Price Adminis­ tration. Appeal Made on Radio. His appeal was made in a nation­ wide broadcast a few hours after the Chamber of Commerce of the United States had asked the senate banking and currency committee to end all price controls, with the ex­ ception of rent, on October 31, and for the elimination of rent control on March 31, 1947. Bowles expressed doubt that the "various minority groups” — the N.A.M., the chamber of commerce and other organizations—accurately represented the viewpoint of a majority of industrialists and other business men. Word from Sarasota, Fla., where rent ceilings were abolished on Jan­ uary 1, indicates that rents have jumped from 30 to 100 per cent. Roger G. Flory, who was active In ousting rent control in Sarasota, de­ clares such advances have been ex­ ceptions, but many returning serv­ icemen disagree with him. At Kansas City, the OPA has charged that the big packers have gone on a buying strike and are "just refusing to buy" cattle for slaughter. In Chicago, W. S. Clith- ero, vice president of Armour and company, immediately wired Ches­ ter Bowles that the charges were unfounded. With typical American ingenu­ ity, the Sands of Chicago.
