If price relief becomes factor in the wage investigation, Schwel- enbach directed that the fact- iinders' wage decision first be approved by the government wage stabilization board.

Where necessary, a board may recommend to stabilization administrator that lis standards for approving wage increases for price purposes be aroadcncd, Schwellenbach said. If wage increases are recommended without question of any price relief, the fact-finders may urge an employer to make them effective immediately. Limitation On Ability To I'ay. In the "no-price-increases" cases, the policy specifies that: "To tile extent necessary to satisfy itself that the employers are in position to absorb a recommended increase, the panel must necessarily inquire into the issue of the employers' ability to pay. Ability to pay is a limitation on and does not necessarily constitute a measure of the amount of a fair increase." Tiie policy would permit board to inquire into the profits and earnings position of an employer, when necessary, as well as into production and other costs when relevant.

The statement by Schwellenbach resulted primarily from a dispute which developed in the oil hearing over propriety of using prices and profits in detemiining wage issues. Although it was handed to the oil board, it was regarded as establishing policy for all federal fact-finding panels.

The denials were touched off by roudcasts made from Tokyo by Tighe of the American Sroadcasting Corporation.

The statement said Tigho's reports had "absolutely no basis in fact" and added: "For the second time in recent veeks it becomes necessary for me deny the allegation that I have to resign.
