This;is a continuation of the trend which has been apparent under the law, which expired February 29. These increases have resulted from the /-adjustments” permitted, under the old law and which are continued under the new rent control act. - . j Although most economists here both in and out of government pro cess to see no definite decline in I overall living costs foy at least an other six months, the gradual de- -ckne in some f(V>ji prices and an ex- i peeled drop in textiles may force down some other commodities. How ever, the much criticized increase of $5 per ton in the price of steel, is expected to halt any downward trend I in the price of thousands of com modities dependent on steel as a ba sis oj manufacture. This beipg an election year,/ the department of justice was expected to push anti-trust suits on many fronts and the unexpected action ot Big Steel in direct violation of the spirit of the voluntary anti-inflation act passed at the special session of copgiess g»ves them an ex-cellent ex cuse to brm'g the Big Steel com panies under the eye of the FBI by presidental orders. Sen. Robert , A. Taft, of Ohio, author of the volun tary anti-inflation law-, has also cahied-heads-—of- the— five big com- panics beiore his GOP steering and policy committee. So whether the big companies will back down in the face of both governmental and GOP leadership pressure remains' to be seen. It has been pointed out here that .he action oi the steel companies in jiixing a price increasewn the face oL the highest profits, after taxes, in their history, and ih the face ot de- i mands for higher wages by the steel) workers, leaves the CIO steel work- el's' union in excellent position to en- ■ force their demands tor ■ the wage ( increase. On the political front, failure of; the Americans for Democratic Action t at their Philadelphia convention to 1 endorse the renomination of Presi-1 dent Truman, the. threats of five southern governors' to bolt the party, and the inroads of Henry Wallace’s.: third party movement in the Dem-^ ocratic ranks, have admittedly lion during the next fiscal year, due est fl res broke out in Laurens county ^scal vear to 13, with the number of to an underestimation by the depart- dupmg the month ( , f January, accord- oc .,- cs of tunber damaged hy flre.esti t,. r.. • , . . men ^ of education of the amount- it . „ The Chronicle).

These conditions are! "irmdmitiedly in the polmcai picture. ) Hearings are now going on before) the' senate committee on ‘interstate, 1 commerce on a bill introduced by, Sen. Homer Capehart of Indiana, to establish a department of transpor tation. The bnT“wouTd'~ transfer the interstate commerce commission and other regulatory agencies to the pro posed new department. Some farm leaders, including the national coun- | c:l of farm cooperatives, are on rec- j ord as - opposed to the principles of' the bill. The national council, at its' annual meeting in January adopted a policy.declaring for the present set! , up of the transportation regulation ' and review by the courts. At a meeting of the agricultural j insecticide and fungicide association | j held here in conjunction with the de- j ! partment’ of agriculture • rat control drive, Charles F. Brannan, assistant j secretary of agriculture, declared | that approximately a half billion! I bushels of grain are annually des- I troyed by insects, fungus and ro- j dents. Remedies included the pro tection of growing crops from fun- : gus. lumigation of stored grain I ) against insects and a natfon-wide: drive to destroy rats. This huge) amount of grain wvould be sufficient to fijl the government’s export commitments to western Europe and the whole world. The association promised close cooperation with the ! department and with the United) States food and agriculture organi-j zation, ; And here is something new, at I least something-new heard in Wash-i ' ington. Commercial vegetable raisers 'are protesting against the agricultu- 1 . ral department's drive to get 20 mil- II lion freedom gardens planted this year, two million more than last, year. These commercial growers who depend upon their Iruck for a living, fear lower prices if they have competition from 20 million amateur freedom'-gardeners and they claim tnat the amateurs also waste seed and fertilizer.
