atmosphere charged with political
currents, the Labor Board tackles
in executive session today the most
significant wage case since II laid
down the famous little steel deci-

There IL growing doubt that

The question before the WLB Is
whether to recommend TO the presi-
dent liberalization OF government
wage restrictions by modifying or
abolishing the little steel formula.
This recognizes only Is per cent
increase in living costs since Janu-
airy 1941.
The increase Is officially rated
now at rs per cent and the labor
