dangerous infiationary trends" al
ready has begun and expressed con-
f1dence that an inevitable increase
In the cost of living can be held "to
a small amount" above June levels.
I'VE won't begin to see the re-

little while yet, but the total situa-
tton-and with it the total impact
OF a combination of infiationary
pressures-is changing" Mr.. Porter
said in his weekly radio address.
Warns of Increases.
Mr.. Porter said clothing price in
creases would be considerable, and
that consumers would have to
reckon on increases in other COM
modities, including automobiles. He
added:
ION the whole, I'm confident tha
the increase in your cost of Twins
above the level of last June can b,
held to small amount-providet
all the anti-inflation powers under
the law are used effectively"
The price chief asked consumer.

 The announcement came this morning as night shift workers of the U. s. Time Corporation, meet ing at Temple Hall today, voted their support to Ovide Garceau, in- ternational representative of the union at the company, and John Mankowski, executive board mem Der, and authorized them to meet with company officials to discuss contract terms and the proposed l8la cent hourly increase.
