Government economist and some private experts report the revival of an "inflationary potential." They base the report mainly on heavy ln-the-red spending by the govern-' mem and on the cew round of wage-and-pension Increase. . . Yt few of them expect a malor price whirl In the next 12 months. Deflation? The "dlUnflation" is not over for una Important Industrie. Man economists believe tha Jong-rng hazard is deflation. A concensus of the forecasts might boil down to this: 1950 will be another year of high Income and high production, on a level of prosperity not too unlike 1S49 had not far below record smashing 1941. Inflation warning hav been ut tered by two bank presidents and other witnesses before Senator Douglas' D-IU economic subcom mittee. These have stirred specula tion whether Truman will again seek control over prices, vases, com modity trading and material allo cation. Th decision, if It la not already made, will come in the next month, aa the president prepare hi an nual economic message to the new session of congress. Persons In close touch with White ' House planning say a new bid for controls Is unlikely and, even it on comes, would be turned down by congress. Thi view I voiced br Senator Flanders ot Vermont, a republican manufacturer and a member of the senate - house economic committee who usually vote with the demo cratic majority: "I don't are any reason for any inflation controls at all at this time.
