FtiOn together owns 6O@o of all the liquid assets-cash and government bOnds-that individuals own today. Twenty-Five per cent of the people own no bonds and have no cash in the bank at all, and another 25 % own only 5% of these assets.
 Or, going back to the "one third of the nation" comparison, we find that the amount of cash and government bonds owned by the poorest 3O@o oi the population after five of the most prosperous years in history is too small even to show up in the govern ment's tables.
 This study destroys completely the arguments of those who have claimed that no wage increases were needed to provide purchasing power for goods because the consumers of the coun- try had saved so much money, labor economists here point out. The people who have been depending on these savings to provide America with prosperity for five or seven years to come are in for a rude shock, accord ing to the observations of those who made the study unless wages are raised quickly-especially in the low est paid occupations some mira cle happens to save price control.

Bayer Aspirin Has A Headache In ETC Charges
U. s. Hits False Claims In Advertising Price
 Reduction

WASHINGTON (LPA) = False advertisements for Phillips Milk of Magnesia Cleansing Cream and false radio claims about Bayer Aspirin are charged in a complaint against Ster1- ing Drug Co. by the Federal Trade Commission, made public last week.
 Over the American Album of Familiar Music network program. the ETC charges, the manufacturer claims that the druggists of Amer ica sponsor and present a program promoting the sale of Bayer Aspir- in Tablets, and that the retail pricf of the product has only recently been reduced to l5c for a dozen tablets. The druggists don't spon, sor the program, ETC points out. and the price has been the same ''for a number of years"
 ETC did not add what consumer conscious people have been saying for long time-that any kind of aspirin is just as good as any other, and that other brands sell for as little as AC a tablet.
 As for Sterling's other product. Milk of Magnesia Cream, the ETC says that false claims have been made that it neutralizes an "un. natural'' acid accumulation in skin pore openings; that it reduces en larged pores, corrects blackheads, and smoothes out tiny lines in tho skin.

The highest-paid man in this third of the nation earned about $25 a week last year. In l945, ac- cording to this study, 3O% of the people were unable to save any money out of their incomes. On the contrary, over half this group was forced to spend more than il earned, digging into past savings or borrowing from friends to make ends meet.
 Why this was true appears immedi- ate1y from the figures which came out of the study. For, in 1o45, this group of people, 309o of the spending units studied, together earned only go oi the money earned that year. The rich est 10%o of the population, however together earned almost 3O%o of the money earned that year.
 The study, conducted by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics at the request of the Federal Re- serve Board, was made to find out how much the people of this coun- try were able to save during the war, and who has the savings. On this point, the figures are as inter- esting as those on the distribution of income. They show, for exam pie, the richest lO% of the pOpula-

 wide to imitation in foods and in res taurant prices.
 Labor people reacted adversely. also, to statement by former OPA Chief Chester Bowles, in which he charged that only ''defeatists" and stinfiationists" believed that infla- ton was already here or inevitable. While agreeing with Bowles that ssfor the first time in any war the American people have so far pre- vented a runaway infiation," many labor people were beginning to feel that it was time to start looking more carefully at what has hap pened since then, when government controls began to be scrapped un- der orders from ReccnversiOn Di- rector Snyder and President Tru- man.
 The net effect of what has been done by Congress and what has been done by OPA itself in the last few months, according to some observers is to put the people of the country into the position where they can no longer depend on the government to protect them from further sharp in creases in the cost of living. Whether imitation has as yet become run away, the question raised in the Bowles statement, is less important to these observers than what is going to happen to prices as the whole economy begins to feel the effect of the decontrol actions and the liberal ization of price policies which have taken place in OPA recently.
 Outside of extending the price agency for a year from June 30, I946, the bill as passed by the Sem ate would: wipe out ceilings on meat, poultry, and dairy products by June 30, and remove controls on June 30 on leaf tobacco and petroleum and their products, in- cluding cigarettes and gasoline. It would also CD remove controls on all non-agricultural products not important to business or living costs by the end of the year, and on non-agricultural commodities of which the supply exceeds the de- n1and.
 (2) Establish three-member price decontrol board with power to remove specific price ceilings. (3) On agri- cultural products, give the Sec'y. of Agriculture responsibility for desig- hating agricultural products in short supply to be kept under price control, and authority to issue orders to OPA for lifting ceilings to stimulate pro duction. OPA, on instructions from the Sec'y. of Agriculture, is instruct ed to remove ceilings on non-essential agricultural products by the end of the year. (4) Government subsidies

WASHINGTON-(FP) A roar of protest came this week from Harold L. Ickes, former secretary of the in terior, against the Senate bill kni6ng OPA.
 Speaking for the Independent Citizens Committee of the Arts & Sciences, Ickes said ''certain Con- gressmen have joined the chorus of selfish financial interests that demand the elimination of all price controls and an immediate return to a free competitive economy. They argue that the law of supply and demand would automatically bring full productive capacity and prosperity to our nation.
 But the law of supply and demand are not now in natural operation. There is no supply. There is only demand.

Flood Of Entries Seer
As Huge Event Goes
Into Final Week
BY ROD THOMAS.

just when it appeared the top
flight male bowlers of the city
might be shut out of honors in the
gross-score division of The Stars
giant tournament up rose Mike Avon
in the Bethesda Bowling Center
$1,000 League to land in 18th place
with a tally of 9-468.
But Mike wasn't so much in
terested in his gross standing. He
raped out 459 for the highest
scratch set of the tournament, which
enters its fourth and final week
tomorrow night at all regulation
bowling plants in the area.
Avon's performance proved two
things. Cd The ace is not hopeless
against the duffer with his some
times prodigious handicap. CD The
tournament regardless of those
handicaps is worthwhile to the star
II Mikes 459 stands up it will
bring him a luscious scratch prize
It's morally certain to gain him a
worthwhile one, as is his gross 1853
In all likelihood he'll collect a
third award with a game of 1T. His
other scores were lat and 1876.
Last Chance at Hand.
In the meantime, the last call is
sounding for participation in the
tournament and a flood of entries
is expected this week. So few really
big scores have been rolled and the
prize list Is so long that the event
remains the best bargain any bowler
will receive this season. No other
cityYide, low entry fee tournament
is scheduled.
Jesse c. Smith, 72-year-old lead
cr of the mems division, who rolled
at the Lucky Strike, has his fingers
crossed despite score of 1886.
This may appear formidable to
some, but Mr.. Smith is keeping in
mind fnat unheard of bowlers with
giant handicaps have captured first
prize in past Star tournaments with
counts of better than 500.
Mks. Geraldine Summers, who
competed at Brookland, appears
safer as the leader of the women's
division with 90-465, but is taking
nothing for granted. Marie Boyd
Of Fort Davis, second with 57-436,
is in a downright precarious spot.
Oldsters in Their Glory.
Men with years on board" are
finding the tournament all to their
liking. In competitive sense, those
years are compensated by the ham
dicaps. Mr.. Smith is an example.
Another is John w. Parker of the
Clarendon Church League who
landed well up the standings with
mark of 87-480. His 1893 from
scratch was outstanding for a non
star.
With one more crack at the nu-
merous. prizes, some leagues are
planning to enter this week in a
body. The big Masonic League.

may be one.
