Truman Urges Congress
To Extend All Controls
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 —(AP)— President Truman,
saying the country must prevent the fires of inflation ‘‘from
breaking out,” asked congress today for a two-year ex-
tension of price and wage controls. This would keep them
in force until mid-1954.
In a special message the president also assailed as ‘‘bad
legislation” three of the changes congress made in the de-
fense production act (the controls law) last summer.
He asked specifically for repeal of the Capehart, Herlong
and Butler-Hope amendments.
And he asked, too, for restoration of the power the gov-
ernment had under the original law to regulate consumer
and real estate credit.
‘‘I am sure I do not need to remind the congress that
what we are dealing with here are not abstract economic
principles but the welfare of

Sightseers Halt
Seining Project
OKLAHOMA CITY. Feb. 11—</T)
—City Water Superintendent Mor-
rison B. Cunningham decided today
plans were too well advertised for
the seining of nearby Lake Over-
holser yesterday.
Cunningham announced in a
newspaper story that a commercial
fish seining team would comb the
lake for rough fish and invited
citizens out to watch.
An estimated 20.000 persons turn-
ed out for the show causing a
three-hour traffic Jam for miles
on all roads leading to the lake.
The seining team got paught In
the traffic and was unable to get
to the lake.
men and women and fami-
lies," his message said.
"Most people are already having
trouble paying present prices. For
their benefit, we should be working,
not to legislate formulas for raising
prices, but Instead to find ways of
moving prices downward, as In-
creasing productivity and more
production makes that possible "
Hits Three Amendments
The amendments Mr. Truman
particularly attacked, and their
sponsors, were:
1. By Senator Capehart (Repub-
lican, Indiana), requiring that price
celling allow for cost Increases be-
tween the start of the Korean war
and July 26. 1951.
2. By Representative Herlong
'Democrat, Florida), forbidding a
price celling on any Item which does
not allow wholesalers and retailers
the same percentage of profit they
earned before Korea.
3. By Senator Butler (Republican,
Nebraska) and Representative Hope
i Republican, Kansas,) forbidding
federal livestock slaughtering quotas.
Says Curbs Adequate
Mr. Truman said the Butler-Hope
amendment was intended to free
cattle growers and the meat packers
from administrative controls "which
they incorrectly feared would hurt
them, but which in fact gave us
a most important means for assur-
ing a fair distribution of livestock
—and thus of meat—among both
sellers end buyers."
The message described present
production control powers as "gen
erally adequate" and requested only
the following two changes:
1. An increase from 82,100.000.000
to 83 billion in the funds authorized
for loans, guarantees, and buying
commitments to expand output of
defense materials at home or over-
seas. as well as to subsidize high-
cost producers.
2. Removal of the so-called
"cheese amendment" which restrict-
ed Imports ot some agricultural
products.

will save themselves money, as
well as lives and property."
Ollmer pointed out that every
cent collected In fines and coats
went directly Into county coffers.

of-way. reckless driving and im-
proper brakes, lights and parking.

Third Crash in Two Months
Runs AirCasualtyTotal to 116
ELIZABETH, N. J„ Feb. 11—(UP)—Another airliner
crashed into this city early today. It killed 30 persons and
injured 42. Elizabeth’s two-month death-from-the-sky toll,
caused by falling airliners, stood at 116.
It was the third airliner to strike this city since Dec. 16
when an unscheduled four-engine liner crashed in the center
of the city but on the bank of the industrialized Elizabeth
river, killing its 55 occupants and an Elizabeth resident on
the ground.
On Jan. 22, a two-engine American Airlines Convair
smashed into a row of houses while trying to land at Newark
on the radar beam in foul weather, killing the 23 persons
on board.
So grave were the implications that adjoining Newark
airport, one of the country’s biggest and busiest, was shut
down immediately “in the light of these tragic events and
pending further investigation.”
Today’s disaster plane was a DC-6 four-engine giant
owned by National Airlines. It smashed into a four-story

State GOP Meet Opens With
Savage Blasts at Kerr, Truman
OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 11—(AP)—With Eisenhower
and Taft forces compromising on national convention dele-
gates, Oklahoma Republicans lashed out today at what they
called “corruption in the Truman administration.’’
Jo O. Ferguson, expected to head a 16-vote GOP Chicago
convention delegation slightly favorable to Senator Taft of
Ohio, attacked President Truman as either “ignorant” or
“callous” to “the skullduggery in jillions of departments of
the federal government.”
Ferguson described Senator Kerr (Democrat, Oklahoma)
in a prepared state convention keynote address as “the big
wind, the man with gas on his chest—the Right Honorable
Robert (Spendthrift) Kerr.”
Kerr has said he will run for the Democratic presidential
nomination if Truman doesn’t.
Barring an unexpected uprising from the floor, the state
convention was expected to approve a four-delegate-at-large
slate today which would give backers of Taft and General
MacArthur a nine - to - seven
