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."
