CMrtler Bowles, director of eco-

Wrt ubtxw’i business men to join

that would “keep inflation from
overwhelming our economy.”
Bowles, in effect, urged individu

repudiate the view of the National
Association of Manufacturers and
other organized business groups re

control extension bill which would
cripple the Office of Price Adminis

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
