MONTGOMERY Associated Press General Business Editor NEW YOKK, Feb. 11 tiP) The postwar Inflation has had its back broken, and the American con sumer can sll back today and say to himself, "So far, so good." This Is the big conclusion to be tit awn to date from the spectacular break in commodity prices which b(Ran just a week ago. Now there are other things to think about. Is a recession at hand? Will It be brought on b panic selling? What will check it? How for can these commodity prices plunge and still leave us with Just a henlthy rc ndjustmcnt? The top business brains of the country pondered these questions todny, nnd most analysts viewed the situation with confidence. CEO Facing T-H Charge WASHINGTON. Feb. 11 irt'i A federal grand Jury today indicated the CIO nnd Its president, Philip Murray, on charges of violating the Tnft-Hiuiley act's political expen ditures ban. The law forbids spending of union funds for polltlcnl purposes. The Indictment charges thnt Mur ray published nn endorsement for a Maryland congressional cnndldnte Inst July In the union-fliinnccd CIO News. Murray and Ihe CIO have openly defied the Inw and Invited prose cution. They contend congress had no right to enact It thnt It con flicts with the constitution's gunr nntee of freedom of speech. It the courts should find there Is such a conflict, that section of the Tnft-Hnrtley act would become void. Attorney General Torn Clark Is sued n statement In connection with the Indictment recognising that there Is a delicate constitutional question. He said the political expenditure bnn "can present a problem In the nccommndntlon of the constitutional power of the congress to regulate federal elections with the constitu tional freedoms of speech nnd the press. But he said the Justice depart ment "will, of course, enforce the statute ns It is written."

First It must be recognized that wherever there Is room for panic, wherever people act In the mass as they do on the nation's great trad ing markets, then anything can happen. The psychological factor is the Joker In the economist's deck of cards. It Is the big unknown which most frequently upsets his predictions. After allowance Is made for this, however, the economists find plenty of room to view the situation calm-l;- This Is what they sec: The shakedown in commodities was overdue. Now it has come. But the nation's economy as a whole Is too strong to be stampeded at this time Into a severe recession or de pression. There are too many Jobs yet to be done, too many things that lieoplc need and won't be able to get for some time. The farmer has seen his best prices. Food must be cheaper, now that the rest of the world is begin ning to tnke enre of itself. With food cheaper, other retail prices should come down gradually, or at least stop going up.
