Price Jump Expected Stabilizer Cautions
Washington—(U.P.)—Consumers were warned today to expect sharp price boosts on gasoline and probable increases on a variety of other items as a result of decontrol. $ \textcircled{4} $
Price Stabilizer Joseph Freehill said the price jump would be "considerable" on gasoline and probably natural gas as he yanked price lids off a second big batch of goods.
He also predicted "probable" price hikes on newsprint for newspapers, construction services for everything from homes to highways, and scrap metals which go into the production of metal goods.
Yesterday's action leaves under control only about 17 per cent of the items in the government's cost-of-living index and about half of those in the wholesale price index.
Major consumer items still to be decontrolled between now and April 30 include milk and dairy products, oleomargin, bread and bakery products, confectionery products, rice, beer, cigarettes, a large number of "dry" grocery products such as cereals, coffee and soups, automobiles, large electrical appliances, drugs and cosmetics, and consumer services.
With yesterday's decontrol action, Mr. Freehill predicted an upswing immediately or soon in retail gasoline prices. Prices on crude oil also will go up, he said, leading to further retail hikes on gasoline. He said these increases would hit the West particularly but also probably would occur in other parts of the country.
The price agency had planned to decontrol milk and save petroleum and its products for later. But, informed sources said, last-minute White House pressure put oil and all its products except home-heating oil on yesterday's list. The milk decontrol was postponed because price officials said both milk and gasoline prices are expected to go up. Their program is designed to ease the impact of price hikes by spacing them out between now and April 30.

AAS to Offer Blood Trophies
Three trophies are being given by the Arnold Air Society to the organized houses that contribute the most blood in the campus-wide drive Feb. 18, 19, and 20.
Two trophies will be given to the houses with the most participants in the men's and women's divisions, and the third will be presented to the winner of a separate contest between North College and Corbin halls.
According to Richard McCall, business senior and chairman of the campus drive, Corbin hall now has a slight lead in the number of registered donors.
The two Red Cross bloodmobile units, which are being sponsored by the combined Army, Navy, and Air Force ROTC units, will be located in the drill hall of the Military Science building Wednesday. Thursday, and Friday of next week.
The Arnold Air Society is sponsoring the trophies in an attempt to obtain better participation on a campus-wide level.
Appointment cards and parental release slips will be available in the information booth all day tomorrow. Students over 21 may sign appointment cards, and those under 21 may make appointments by presenting their release slips.
The urgency of this program was pointed out by McCall who said Red Cross statistics show that an average of 15 pints of blood is needed by each man seriously wounded in battle.
Three University teachers will attend the annual meeting of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education and associated groups in Chicago this weekend.
Dr. Bayles will participate in a forum on the education teacher's role on the campus.
Dean Anderson also will go to Atlantic City, N.J., for the annual meeting of the American Association of School Administrators Feb. 15-20. As a member of the executive committee of the National Association for Research in Science Teaching, Dean Anderson has arranged a program of some thirty research papers on science teaching in high schools and colleges.
He will present two research reports: "The Use of Statistics in Science Education Research" and "Factors Associated with Achievement of High School Graduates in Basic Areas of Knowledge."
