1EVEIE0 PRICE RISE
TSOUGHT BY ECCLES
Federal Reserve Chairman
Urges Fiscal Restraint
rv to Rule Expansion.
■T the Associated Press.
~, NEW YORK. March 25.—Marriner
8. Eccles, chairman oi the Federal Re
•erve Board, in a magazine article
..suggested anti-trust legislation and
tariff reduction as possible lines of
Government action against “excessive
;J>rice rises on particular products in
Important fields.”
Writing in the current issue of
Fortune, he asserted there was danger
•that plant and labor shortages might
result in “undesirable price advances,
‘duplication of orders and speculative
Inventory buying."
“It would obviously be very diffi
cult to cope with such a situation by
'the use of monetary instruments,” he
added. “Such instruments are for
-the most part non-selective. The ef
fectiveness of monetary control con
sists more in setting an upper limit
to expansion.”
Urges Federal Restraint.
He contended, however, both Fed
eral monetary and fiscal policies, in
cluding spending and borrowing,
^.might be operated “in the direction
^of restraining the general upward
movement so as to give more time for
shortages to be met in various fields
In which they occur.”
Outlining a broad program for con
trol of the business cycle, he amplified
points made in his recent statement
advocating shift toward retirement
of some of the national debt con
tracted the last few years for recov
ery and relief measures.
“I have advocated heavy Govern
ment expenditures during the depres
sion and I advocate debt retirement
now that recovery is definitely under
Way,” he wrote.
The principle of having the Gov
ernment play the role of a compen
sating agent, spending in the lean
years and taxing in the good ones to
retire debt, “implies a willingness to
run counter to private business be
- havior, not only on the downswing,
. but also on the upswing,” he noted.
May Mean Sharing Poverty.
Suggesting careful study of labor
• problems, he warned there was dan
ger; reduction in working hours “may
mean sharing poverty rather than
sharing wealth.”
As one means of alleviating skilled
labor shortages, he proposed postpone
ment of public-financed projects.
"Such a course,” he explained,
■would also have the advantage of
creating a backlog of work for the
skilled men when private business
turns down."
Holding we must not “permit our
selves to be tied to a rigidly automatic
gold standard that makes us helpless
against the impact of forces from
abroad,” he suggested lowering the
price of gold or a relative fall in for
eign currencies against the dollar
“might offer a possible means of
checking excessive expansion at
home.”

Chemist Called to Aid Probe
In Mystery Death of Woman
— ■ — 4
Body Is Found in Lonely
Cabin—Authorities
Question Priest.
By the Associated Press.
GREENS3URG, Pa., March 25.—A
noted Pittsburgh chemist was called
today to help solve the mysterious
death of Mrs. Lillian Householder of
Medina, Ohio, whose nude body was
found in a lonely cabin 14 miles from
Greensburg.
State police and Coroner H. Albert
McMurray announced they were ques
tioning a man they identified as Rev.
Edward A. Haley, a priest of Canton,
Ohio, who appeared at the cabin
where the body was found.
Coroner McMurray said, post-mortem
had failed to disclose the cause of
the woman’s death and that he had
asked F. C. Buckmaster to make an
analysis of the contents of her
stomach.
Buckmaster has figured in many
police investigations. At the trials
of two State policemen charged with
murder in the death of Frank C.
Monaghan he testified about blood
stains; and used the wax test in the
prosecution of James J. Westwood,
McKees Rock's justice of the peace,
convicted of the murder of his wife.
McMurray said the body was bruised,
but he asserted neither he nor State
police had formed a theory about
how the woman died. The only
clothing on the woman were stockings,
shoes and overshoes.
The body was discovered yesterday
by Joseph Myal, a meter reader of
Mt. Pleasant. Police had to shoot
one of two dogs guarding the cabin
before they could reach the woman.
McMurray said Rev. Mr. Haley
asserted the woman had been doing
secretarial work for him. He told
McMurray he had been on a leave of
absence from a Canton parish and
that he had returned last night from
Canton, where he attended the funeral
of his mother Tuesday.
McMurray estimated the woman had
been dead two days.
