Two Consumers' Groups Ask Price Fixing and Rationing Dairy Industry, However, Tells Senators Talk Of Controls Is Result of "Wrong Thinking and Urges Rationing of U. S. Exports WASHINGTON Jan. 29--(jp)--Two consumers' groups today asked that'the government fix prices right away and ration scare foods and things everybody has to have. take.

But two dairy industry groups said that would be a big mis- They told the Senate banking committee how they see it. Hartley W. Cross spoke for the Consumers "Union, He wanted to "freeze" all prices. Then, he said, the government should order food prices cut 15 to 20 per cent. He wants the government to pay food men money to make up part of the cut.

Cross said that would cost the government about $2,000,000,000 for 12 months. He said people who buy food would save Persia Campbell spoke for the National Association of Consumers. She is professeor of economics at Queens College, N. Y. Supports Truman She said the government should get ready at once to ration meat.

As for price controls: She said her organization goes along with President Truman. The President wants 'to put them on some things; on things he thinks they are needed on. She said they ought to be put on now. Charles W. Holman, secretary of the National Cooperative Milk Producers, said what this- coun- trv should ration is exports.

He told the Senc.te banking committee the government should set aside ''minimum quantities essential materials arid commodities" for home use before permitting abroad. any shipments "Such a program," he said in a prepared statement, "would assure the people that reasonable supplies for domestic use will be maintained this country and would put end to the incentive to bid-up prices and build up inventories." Believes "Die Is Cast" One of the principal arguments for price control, Holman asserted, is that it would head off another- rounu of wage demands this spring. We believe the die is cast and no possible price action can compel or forestall such increases," he said "Labor unions take advantage of every opportunity to raise wage scales and otherwise 1o exploit every opportunity to build spring-boards for improving their position regardless of productivity." Holman said the 83 cooperatives which compose the federation have more than 430,000 members. The committee is studying a proposal to give President Truman power to control wages and prices and -order rationing if necessary. Meat Ration Hearing; Meanwhile a banking subcommittee called afternoon hearings on a bill by Senator Flanders (R- Vt) tolet the agriculture department get set for meat rationing.

The Flanders bill would authorize the department to print ration books, but the program would have to wait for a go- ahead from Congress. The agriculture department has predicted that a serious meat shortage will develop by spring. Flanders has acknowledged that his bill rnay never get past the subcommittee. Training School Board Members May Not Resign Continued from Page One day in Boonville by a special Senate investigating committee meanwhile was postponed. In asking for the resignations of the training school board members, Gov.

R. Jasper Smith (R) of Springfield, a committee member, said a majority of the members "felt it would be improper" to make the investigation at this time "in view of unsettled conditions at Boonville." Charges "Politics" Sen. C. R. Hawkins (K) of Bruruley dissented from the decision not to make the investigation as scheduled.

A charge that the action of the governor had put the training school oolitics" was made yesterday on the Senate floor by Hawkins. Hawkins said in his Senate speech that the probe by the special committee had been requested by the Boonville Chamber of Commerce, a former Cooper county prosecuting attorney, the county coroner and a Boonville minister in a telegram to committee chairman R.B. Linnemau (R) of St. Charles. Senate Advances Bill A basic bill described as the keystone of the whole training school improvement program moved toward Senate passage yesterday.

R. Jasper Smith, majoritv floor leader, for further amendments after a conference with the governor. The Senate agreed to changes which Smith said were recommended by the chief executive These inclu "ed removal of the age limit on inmatss who be transferred to adult institutions for disciplinary purposes.
