Price Controls Will Be Eased Without Clamping Stringent Lid On Wages WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 lP) A high government official pre dicted today President Truman's new wage-price policy aimed at restoring industrial peace will case price controls without clamping a rigid lid on wages. The formula, subject of day and night White House confer ences, reportedly is "just about set." But the official, who could not be quoted by name, expressed some uncertainty as to the reac tion it will receive from labor and Industry particularly la bor unless further revisions are made. Part of the pressure for a quick decision on the long pending is sue apparently stems from a purported refusal by Stabiliza tion Administrator John (J, Col let to approve higher steel prices In the absence of the authority the new wage-price policy would give him. A top-ranking federal execu tive, regarded as a key figure in the national economic pic ture, said Collet will approve the ; steel price boost as soon as Mr. Truman Issues the formal back ing. The stabilization chief argued with other White House aides, this official said, that the legal ity of the increase could be ques tioned unless it were preceded by a formula which could be ap plied to industry generally. The official added that the administration is certain the steel hike, reportedly around $5 a ton, will permit the industry to boost wages and send some 750, 000 striking CIO Steel Workers back to their jobs at 18$ cents more an hour. The decision against a flat per centage ceiling on wages was Watch For the red ROOSTER O made yesterday, it was learned thus removing one of the prime obstacles to settlement of the wage-price policy debate. As an alternative to a firm limit, one of the conferees diS' closed, Mr. Truman's economic advisers were considering a re turn to machinery comparable to that of the old war labor board and available now in the nation al wage stabilization board. W. Willard Wirtz, WSB chair man, was called into the wage price parleys yesterday' Both the AFL, and the CIO have registered opposition to any fixed wage limit and also have indicated opposition to a return to war labor board prac tices. On this basis, it was held possible that some further modi' fication of present thinking might be written into the policy.

Todd, student pilot, who is missing on a flight to North Bend, Ore. The navy, in reporting the search, said Todd was to have put in at Troutdale airport to refuel, but failed to arrive there.
