Rccommcnd Sound Fircal Policy Inrtcad o[ Controb

Washington, D.C., May 2.5-The board of directors of the National Rctail Lumber l)ealers Association has recotrtrrrended unaninrously that Federal pricc, rvage, an<l production controls bc abandonc<l and that :t sotttr<l llscal ltolicy be adoptcd to accomplish thc purposes thcy arc intcn<le<l to serve.

A resolution adoptcd by the NRLDA <lirectors at thcir senri-annual mecting being hcld herc at the Shrtrchanr Ilotel stated that the l)resent regulatory controls arc failirrg in thcir purl)()se llecause l)ressurcs from trrany directions have made them not only unworkablc, but also actually harmful.

The complete text of thc resolution is as follows:

"Thc <lirect regulatory controls imlloscd lly the Fcdcral govcrnment for thc announcc<l purpose of controlling prices, wagcs, inflation, and pro<lttction arc failing in that ptlrlx)sc.

"Thcse controls, put int<l c{Icct agairtst tlrc a<lvicc of industry, are failing becausc presstlres front ntattY dircctiorrs have tna<le thenr not only ttnrvorkalrlc, lrrtt :tlso actttltlly harrnful. It is an accclttctl fitct that ()rtc scglllcnt of thc ec()r1()r.r1-y c:rnnot lrc rcgulatc<l trnless itll scgrncrrts llrc c()tltrol lecl.

"\V;rgcs arc not being cffectively controllcrl, ancl the pricc rcgulations nrlrv in ell'cct arc unrvorkalrlc. Marry of the producticln rcstrictions are unnecessary and impractical. Thc net rcsult is an cconotny neecllessly disrtrlltc<I, whilc a paramoun t en cnry-infl ation-remains trnchecked.

"Since there is no evidence that regulations, such as price and u'agc qontrols, can or will be made to operate successfully, u'e strongly urge that no further time be wasted in trf ing to accomplish our purpose by these means.

"lJccause it is imperative that defense production be expanded, the civilian economy maintained, and inflation restrained, rve strongly recouturend the adoption of the program of sound fiscal policy which has been advocated all along by business organizations and business leaders."
