Several Believe There
Should Be National Wage
Price Formula
Nv JOHN F. CHESTER

Associated Press Business Editor
WASHINGTON, Nov. s. Up =
Considerable confusion exist S
among Americas top flight indus
trialists as to the best means of
making this country's business ball
roll smoothly again.
This statement can be drawn as
conclusion from interviews with
more than 200 business leaders
and their chief assistants during
the last month.
A number believe there should
be some sort of national formula
for solving the wage-price prob
lem, such as raising prices by so
much, raising raises by SO much
and calling on labor to increase
productivity.
Others believe there can be no
such thing as national policy.
They argue that the problem must
be solved piecemeal, with a diff.
ferent formula for each business
or industry.
Some believe price controls
should be abolished Immediately
Others believe they should be re
tanned but raised.
Ira Mosher, president Of the Ma
tional Association of Manufactur
ers. made this statement to news
men who had just completed {
31-day, 8-O00-mile industrial in.
spection trip:
II don't think we are looking
to the government to set nation
al wage-price policy. There ism
any such thing. It cannot be done.
/ Mosher acknowledged the dit
ferences among businessmen, bu
said industry would produce pro
gram of their own at the labor
management conference on Mon
day.
He said the 10 members Of tn
management panel and their al
ternates would continue to holt
pre-conference meetings until the.
agreed on what should be done

proposal would differ considerabl..

 1945 AMERICAN RED CROSS WAR FUND DRIVE

In a dark, war-torn world. one bright emblem has emerged. as a symbol of mercy-the Red Cross. The emblem signifies a civilian army of mercy whose services to our armed forces abroad, to yeter- ans and families here at home, are an intending story.
 In wartime and in peace. this civilian army's battle is continually being fought. There is no conceiy. able turn this war can take which will lessen To any great degree the responsibilities Of this army, the work of the American Red Cross. In fire. famine. tornado. flood, the Red Cross is ready with emergency relief. shelter. food. clothing n d rehabilitation programs for the des- titute. To fight the battle of m- jury and disease. the Red Cross has expanded to a mammoth degree its home nursing. nurse recruitment first aid. nutrition. and disaster service lHe htu AtOSe ude oefE the lives of countless wounded through its Blood Donor Service.
 To fight the battle of loneliness and anxiety. the Red Cross has sta tioned many thousand men and women with our fighting forces at home and abroad Red Cross club workers provide entertainment and relaxation to servicemen on leave; Red Cross hospital workers admin ister to the sick and wounded. Through it's Home Service pro- gram. the Red Gross assisted 3500 seryicemen and families last year. Relief to prisoners of war and 10 refugees in occupied countries is another manifestation of Red Cross mercy.
 The month of March has been set aside for this annual appeal to the Nation. l urge all people of Alaska to give generously. for only through your volunteer contributions can the American Red Gross continue it's great work. Give now-giye

YALTA CONFERENCE

By far the biggest news of the week was the joint statement is- sued by President Roosevelt. Mar shal stalin and Prime Minister Churchill. following their historic eight-day conference at Yalta on the shore Of the Crimea.
 The Big Three agreed on plans for shortening the war" in Eu- rope, on the complete elimination of both Nazism and German mili- tarism. and on cooperative action in liberated Europe. As for Ger many. there was no effort to soft en the unconditional surrender terms. The three leaders declared Tt is not our purpose to destroy the people of Germany, but only when the Nazis and militarism are exti-pated will there be hope for a decent life for the Germans and 8 place for them in the community yI nations"
 It was believed that military l.ans agreed on by the Big Three aad the very close working part Gerahip among the three staffs at lained at this conference will re- suit in shortening the war"
 One of the knottiest problems fzuIng the conference was the set l.lng of the Polish question, re- solved by the decision to merge the Polish exiled government with the provisional government now tune lloning in Warsaw to create a Pc ash provisional government of na- Ional unity" The conference also agreed that the eastern frontier of Poland should follow the Curzon line with digressions from it ia some regions from five to eight kii- ometers in favor Of Poland. They formally recognized the right ol Poland to German territory in eonl- pensation for what Russia gets rom Poland, but said final settle meent on compensation for the ter ritory should await the peace con ference.
 Foreign Secretaries Eden. MolO- toy and Stettinius, who were pres ent at the Yalta conference should meet from now on about every three or four months, it was decid- ed, and the first of these meetings will be held in London following the United Nations conference On world organization of seven united nations, which was set up by the Dumbarton Oaks security organiza- tion and will meet in San Fran cisco on April 25.

 Mrs. Goldie Manlove pleaded guilty in district court on Thurs day afternoon and was fined S100 for failing to register within 3b days after renting a garage which had been converted to housing pur- poses.

 These are the first charges We have brought in Alaska against landlords who have neglected and failed to register housing accommo- dations and report changes of ten aney within the prescribed limit os time said E. p. McCarron. rent director-attorney. "but We are in the midst Of an enforcement drive which Is aimed at violations of that type; considerable and sufficient public notice has been given con corning the. requirements of the rent regulation to register housing accommodations md to report changes of tenancy. II is not feasi- ble to continue coaXing landlords into the performance of their legal responsibilities such as We have been doing for the past two and a half years"
