Stabilization Future
Looks Good to DiSalle
At End of First Year
Price Director Michael. V. Di
Balle believes the chances are
good that the Nation’s economy
will be able to resist future in
flationary pressures.
Rounding out a full year as
price control chief, the rotund,
former Mayor of Toledo, Ohio,
conceded today there are “still
many rough spots ahead,” but he
added, “the future of stabilization
looks good.”
“The work done over the past
year will stand the Nation in good
stead,” Mr. DiSalle said. “The'
price program can continue to
develop as an integral part of the
Nation’s over-all mobilization pro- j
gram.
Structure Against Pressure.
“There is every hope that a
complete structure will soon be in
place to resist successfully the
inflationary pressures that will
continue to develop as our defense
effort continues to expand.”
Mr. DiSalle said he had received
a few critical letters from persons
who thought he wasn’t taking his
job seriously enough.
Quips Covered Heartache.
“Actually,” he said, “there has
never been once that I did not
realize the seriousness of the re
sponsibility. I just refuse to take
myself seriously. No person not
having had the opportunity of
living with the job could possibly
realize how many times a smile!
or a quip covered a heartache or'
a feeling of great frustration."
Mr. DiSalle who frankly has
said he would like soon to leave
the price control job, possibly to
re-enter Ohio politics, commented
that his year in office “certainly
seems longer.”
THE VEEP'S IN THE POI—Vice President Barkley uses the two-finger system in his first dip
into a bowl of poi, a fermented root paste that is a popular Hawaiian food, during a dinner at
Honolulu. Dipping into the poi with him is Mrs. Oscar Chapman, wife of the Secretary of the
Interior. Mr. Barkley stopped at Honolulu en route home from a tour of Japan and the Korean
war front. —AP YVirephoto.
Pentagon Busy Denying Rumor
Barkley, 2 Generals Stricken
By th« Associated Press
Vice President Barkley did not—
repeat, not—suffer a heart attack
yesterday. Neither did Gen. Mat
thew Ridgway, Allied commander
in the Far East, nor Gen. James
A. Van Fleet, commander of the
8th Army in Korea.
The Pentagon was busy all day
checking, and denying, a flood of
rumors that the three had been
stricken. How the rumors got
started was a mystery.
Mr. Barkley, in Honolulu after
a jaunt to the Far East, was le
ported by Secret Service men
there to be “in the next room,
jovial and very' much alive.”
Gen. Ridgway informed Army
Secretary Pace he had never en
joyed better health and hadn't
been ill since he arrived in the
Far Eastern theater a year ago.
At Honolulu Mr. Barkley, in
formed, of the rumors, said, “I
haven't felt as well as I do for
40 years.”
“And I do about four times as
much work now as I did then,” he
told a newsman.
Mr. Barkley and his wife are
returning from a tour of the
Orient during which the 74-year
old Vice President visited the Ko
rean fighting front.
"I only wish that whoever
started these malicious rumors
had been following me on my tour
of Japan. Korea and the Philip
pines,” he said. “It’s been as
rugged a schedule as anybody
could follow.”
Since arriving here a week ago,
Mr. Barkley has been following a
busy schedule, making speeches,
paying official calls and visiting
hospitals.
“As for today.” he said. "I've
been busy all morning doing my
own packing.”
Mr. Barkley will leave by mili
tary plane this afternoon for
Washington.
