The order required that buying on margin be stopped.! This is the first time in history that this has happened. Mar- riner S. Eccles, chairman of thw • Reserve board, warning of inflation^ said that this was only a minor steffi; toward its prevention. He consid-i era the most important step to bh immediate balancing of the federal budget. All government figures' indicate that the post of living is gradually increasing and it is expected thist there may be a big jump in prices of many consumer goods within the next few months. Efforts to keep prices in line seem to be breaking down. Alttuqigh President Truman continues to back OPA price con trol policies, he is being blamed tor encouraging inflation by his ap parent willingness to help settle la bor disputes by permitting soma price rises.
