Uml art fraa Starr ft rtlar WASHINGTON Nov 0 President Truman Saturday night junked all wage controls and all OPA price controls ex cept those on rents rice and sugar returning the Nation to a virtually free economy for the first time since April 1941 Mr action effective immediately came four days after the voters swept a Republican Congress into office The Republicans campaigned hard for removal of controla "I am convinced the time has come when thee controls can aerre no useful purpose" Mr Truman said "There la no virtue in control for control's sake" OI'A officials said ths Junking of price controls would bring sons price increase ae high as 100 per cent "Mr Truman'e action frees prices on such basic commodities as steel coal rubber textile building materials clothing automobiles and furniture Most foods already had been freed from price ceilings la the decontrol spree of the past three weeks "Ths release of building materials" Mr Truman said "will necessitate a change In the approach to some of tha problems in the veterans housing program" Housing Ceiling Remains The 610000 rclllng on veterans housing remains Thus a little more than 14 months after the surrender of Japan the Nation waa freed from the controlled economy under which it became first the arsenal of democracy and then a victorious com- -batant in World War II The Office of Price Administration was created in April 1941 by executive order of the late President Roosevelt to control and ration civilian supplies Only major exception to Mr order was rent control which he aaid "must and will be continued" But he held the way open for some adjustment of rent ceilings Hs blamed the "unworkable price rontrol law" passed by the last Congress for the failure of the Administration's postwar stabilization program From now on he said the lew of supply and demand operating In the market place must serve to keep the economy In balance High production Is tho answer Mr Truman said adding that management and labor hava the sole responsibility of adjusting their differences without interrupe- ing production Porter Expected To Quit Price Administrator Paul A Poster was expected to resign Civilian Production Administrator John Small was believed likely to follow suit OPA officials forecast quick price increases of 10 to 100 per cent on some of the decontrolled items One official said basic commodities "will go up a hell of a lot" and will stay there until consumer resistance and Increased supplies bring the prices down He estimated that the price of lumber and other scarce building materials might jump more than 100 per cent He said low cost furniture probably will go up 25 per cent Other officials said automobile prices could bo expected to rise 12 to 15 per rent bedding 15 per rent and stoves 10 per cent There la "no limit" on how high soap prices could go they said Other OPA estimates are that coal will go up 50 cents to 61 a ton with an additional

Level Off Soon Leaders Believe By Tha Associated Prcxi NEW YORK Nov 9-Industry and business leaders Saturday night said wage end price decontrol would provide the Impetus needed for full production Many foresaw: A confused period of higher prices early resumption of "normal" competitive levels the wiping out of black markets increasing supplies of scarce materials and products and possibility that the business setback expected in some quarters may be averted Robert It Wason president of ths National Association of Manufacturers said that "after a short period of readjustment to an uncontrolled economy the public can count on management to restore full and orderly production" No I'rewar "And unless forced lo raise costs by another round nf wage tie mands the price level will bo adjusted downward under restored competitive conditions" He warned however not to expect prices to return to prewar levels "because too many permanent costs have been added to production during the period of Gov' ernment Lew Hahn general manager of the National Retail Dry Goode As Isociation said now rests with business to prove it ran control itself better than any Washington agencies can control It" Stating that "the natural mechanism of business has been interfered with for four or five years and it may take a little while before it gets Hahn added "Prices after years of unnatural interference doubtless may ha expected to react nervously before they settle down to something like a new normal but tha conscious ness that business concerns gener ally are too smsrt to price themselves out of their great markets gives assurance that prices will not long continue out of hand" Black -Market Doomed The wiping out of black markets In building materials "within a few months" was foreseen by Lewis 11 Brown chairman of the Hoard of Directors and chief executive officer of Johna-Manville Corp a leading producer of such materials Georgs A Renard executive secretary-treasurer of the National Association of Purchasing Agents said prices will advance too much just as meat and hides did when controls were removed Those who want to buy at the top of the market ran rush in but representative buyers and sellers will steer clear of that period of temporary maladjustment of prices Statements of other leaders: Dr Claudius Murchison nrcsi-d cht of the Cotton Textile Institute: means that production will be determined by consumer demand rather than by Government regulation and that shortages will be corrected much sooner than would have been possible had the controla continued" Frank Purnell president of Youngstown Sheet 6 Tube Co: "The history of the steel business is one of conservatism There's nothing to indicate there will be any wild runaway of prices" (i
