Get Government Out of Business, NAM Speaker Says Portland U.PJ The real so lution to this country's wage and price situation is to get govern ment out of business and settle economic problems on a market free of controls, the president of the National Association of Man ufacturers said Monday. Steel Dispute Example The official, William J. Grede, said the dispute in the steel in dustry was a good example of the government's inability to settle wage and prie problems. The 55-year-old official said he expected to testify before the House Banking and Currency committee this month that the Defense Production act, which sets wage and price controls, should be allowed to expire June 30. Should Be Free Market "My reasons are that I don't believe , political action should be used to establish the market," Grede. said. "There should be a free market. "i urtnermore, ' Be went on, "DPA which was set up to con trol defense industries is also trying to control the othef 80 per cent of U. S. production. If the act were allowed to expire, I don't think it would affect the defense program." 117 S.
