RENT CONTROLS UAW DELEGATES moved Into the election of top officers after hearing Leon Keyserllng, of President Trumans council of economic advisers, tell them that as a general proposition the kind of wage policy which will help maintain full employment in this country, and which will maintain our economy on stable levels is one which adds to consumer purchasing power from year to year because we have the capacity to produce more goods from year to year. . The auto workers unions big fight was with Ford motor company which, in opposing proposed wage rates, offered to peg wages at present levels for a given period, regardless of what developments brought about FORD contended the cost of living has gone down and there was no justification for pay raises, basing the argument on the UAW contract which called for pay hikes as the increased. Reuther opposed that line of reasoning, contending that the unions economists have proved, by a surcan vey, that most Industries afford wage Increases now. ? a TOW that the Christ is risen.

He termed business monoply an 'economic blackjack and Urged that the federal government get busy doing something about it. He told a house judiciary subcommittee that most people were victims of three erroneous assumptions. He listed them as: 1. Assumption that competition continue to thrive at long as there are at least two or three or four to the field. 2. Assumption that the bigger the producer the better the quality of the goods and the cheaper the price to the public. 3. Assumption that companies become big because they deserve to be big to other words, that they outdistance their competitors because they do a better job, render a greater service, or furnish bet- There are His sandal footprints, There is His form ahead, Straight and Strong and compelling, The Christ that they left as dead7 Nothing can dim His glory, Nothing can Stay His feet. cost-of-livi- v rr I.

Yes, It was difficult to obtain an two-hou- red-hea- sud-denl- y interview with the great man. He was constantly being pressed for interviews. What was it the American wanted to see him about? A problem? Ah. yes, Senor Indan was requested to solve so many problems. It was very, very doubtful if he would grant an interview for such a slight matter. However, if the American would care to take his chances, Senor Indan was to appear at a reception on Tuesday night. Possibly there would be an opportunity to ask his question . . . Professor Cheswick attended the reception. He stood In line for hours, a quiet, unassuming, unimportant looking little man, waiting for his chance to speak to the great Senor Indan. It came at last. At last the Mapleridge school teacher and scientist stood before the man he respected more than anyone else in the world. He was so overcome by awe that for a moment he just atared. Senor Indan frowned Impatiently and Professor Cheswick found his voice. He stated his qnestlon. The Senora brows arched to surprise. An unusual question, Senor, he said.
