By Truman Economic Stabilization Ability Is Weakened, President Says. WASHINGTON (AP) President Truman said Tuesday that the new economic controls law "weakens our ability to hold down prices and stabilize our economy. In effect he scolded congress for not giving him i the Stronger i powers he asked and lashed particularly at provisions i limiting the Wage Stabilization Board to 1 advisory powers.

i 1 The change as to the board, 1Mr. Truman said, destroys the existing system without provid ing any substitute.1 I In this respect, he said, con gress has opened a dangerous gap in the mobilisation program. Mr. Truman got out la statement of his views on the new law. But at no point did he mention a provision requesting him to invoke the Taft-Hartley act in an effort to end the steel strike.

i The new law continued for 10 months powers to curb, wages, rices and rents and to accqmu-ite scarce materials. Bill Is Now haw. But some of these powers are Whittled down instead of strengthened as Mr. Truman asked. He also had requested a two-year extension of controls instead of the 10 months, i He signed the boll Monday and it is now law as the -old con trpls law expired Monday at mid' night.

i I Mr. Truman said that if he had not Signed the measure, our powers to continue the defense production program and the stabilization program 'would have expired. I 1 He said: i I asked the congress to strengthen our stabilization machinery and remove some of the built-in inflationary features, like the Capehart amendment. But instead the congress has moved in the other direction." As a whole, the President said the bill gives only very limited protection agaihst inflation. He I i I i If the congress provides sufficient funds for proper adminis tration of this weakened act, and if we have no sudden worsening of the international crisis and no panic buying, we may be for tunate enough to get through the next 10 months without serious damage to our economy.

Serious Gamble. But this act 1 nevertheless forces us to take serious gamble with inflation, and all of us should recognize that fact. He said the bill was a target of every favor-seeking lobby of the special interests in this election year and that if they had had their way the law would be much worse. 'S He said the American people should be grateful 'to Chairman May bank (D-S. and Spence (D-Ky.) of the senate and house banking committees and to the other1 members of congress-who fought for an effective Jaw and were successful, against great odds, in keeping the billfrom being a total loss.

Taft and Dwight D. Eisenhower for the presidential nomination was at the heart of the delegate dispute. 1 Meeting nearly half an hour late, the 166-member committee suddenly shifted its meeting place from a thifd-floor ballroom to a second-floor room at the Conrad Hilton hotel, leaving TV tights blazing and TV cameras with nothing to photograph.

-Convention Sergeant-at-arms Charles Hacker, roared out the announcement of the change of plans. Cameras and microphones will not be admitted (to the meeting place) until there is a decision by. the committee, he shouted above the din that filled the room. I Compromise Flan. The committee later voted to ret- tip subcommittee to look, into the question covering the, delegate contest hearings through: a pool of television, movie and, radio facilities.

Supporters of Eisenhower put across the i motion-7 form of compromise.1 i There were arguments that full-) scale coverage made a monkey' cage of proceedings. But there were opposition contentions that the public had a right to see how Republicans Some of Tafts supporters had been cool to televising, the wrangling over" disputed delegates, although Taft himself Monday abandoned his earlier opposi-tion and said TV would be all; right with him if it was all right 1 with the national committee. 1 Eisenhower forces strongly demanded that the whole row be televised.

Senator Lodge rejected all Taft harmony proposals Tuesday and planned a blitz campaign to seize control of the Republican national convention at its opening session. Lodge is Dwight Eisenhowers campaign manager. He hopes to block routine organization of the convention by offering a resolution challenging adoption of rules. That would take place within the first few minutes of the opening July 7 with National Committee Chairman Gabrielson presiding. 1 If Eisenhowers hackers cSn muster votes to sustain Lodges challenge, they may move immediately to prevent election of Walter S.

Lodge plans to move at the opening session that I convention rules shall not permit contested delegates to vote on any matters relating to temporary 1 convention organization.

And any candidate for the presidency who gave full vent to it would gain a considerable advantage. Churchill seemed plainly voicing an anxiety of Britons and Europeans generally that an isolationist policy might come out of the election. 1 It was announced at the outset of debate that a senior British officer would soon become a deputy to Gen. Clark, supreme UN. com' mander in the Far East Churchill said the Yalu river bombings were a military necessity and they made at this time because the summer rains soon would interfere with air force operations.

It was signed by ten residents of the new. area which has been joined with the West Branch district. 1 They base their, contest on three points: 1 That the Judges and board of canvassers were guilty of misconduct in not accepting the ballots of some voters eligible to cast ballots and accepting the ballots of other persons who were not eligible to vote. 2. That the illeral votes accept ed and the legal votes rejected were sufficient to change the results of the election.

3. That the judges and board of canvassers erred in counting the ballots and declaring the result. The notice was signed by Previously reported In memory of my ents A friend Sooth Side Civic Club. In memory of Joanne Marie Nimmer-bylMrs. Albert J.
