WASHINGTON, (/P^nPrice sta
bilizer Michael Disalle said today
he has given economic stabilizer
Eric Johnston recommendations
for a general price freeze.
He made the statement before
the joint Senate-House economic
committee.
Disalle did not make public de
tails of his recommendations but j
said that an announcement prob

of days.
His testimony followed word
from other officials that a price
rollback may be expected tomor
row, possibly followed by a wage
freeze on Friday.
An overall price ceiling at lev

formed government sources to be
in the works.
The wage action, it was under
stood, will put a lid on wages as of
the day announced.
Johnston, long time president of
the United States Chamber of
Commerce and lately the presi

a radio and television broadcast
tomorrow evening, at which time
he will tell the public of his plans.
He took the oath of office from
Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson in a
brief ceremony in President Tru
man’s news conference room in
the old state department building.
An order was due shortly from
Johnston giving auto nomous
power over prices to price stabil

One Australian official directing
rescue work estimated the toll of
dead vand injured New Guineans
at 4,000. Others at Port Moresby
predicted many of these would

fright may have driven them.
At least one European was kill
ed and 34 others—traders, mis
sionaries and goyernment officials
—were missing following erup
tions which, since last Thursday,
have blasted into dust part of the
four-peaked mountain 80 miles
northeast of Port Moresby.
With poor communications on

the big island north of Australia
retarding reports and rescue oper
ations, the only other known dead
officially reported were 22 New
Guineans. I
The eruptions produced an
“atom bomb” effect, one eyewit

ash hampered efforts of rescue
workers to reach the scene. Air
