Price rend Analysed By Economist
 "A. R. Goinsbrough
 Addresses Local
 Credit Mems s Group

Speaking before members of the Waterbury Association of Credit Men at the Hotel Elton last night. Martin R. Gainsbraugh, chief econ omist for the National Industrial Board, said that 1t would be dis service" to the public to predict a downward trend in prices within the next few months.
 "The trend, temporarily, will be toward imitation, rising prices, in- creased national income and fur- ther demands by labor for wage ad- justments to meet increased coEs,' declared MT Gainsbraugh. The speaker added, however, that should the wage price spiral be delayed from three to six months, produc- ton would increase to point where consumer demands would be met and prices would level of.
 The national income in 1946, said MT. Gainsbraugh, was 160 billion dollars; popular predictions point to the belief that it will be ITO billion dollars in 1947. At the present time there exists about 16 billion dollars more income, the speaker asserted, than there are finished goods on the market. Living cost, he said, will in- crease 10 percent in the next year.
 A new, middle class developed during the war, he said, including those families with an annual in- come between two and five thou sand dollars. At present there are 100000 families in this bracket. Savings in this group, he revealed, are greater than in higher income groups.
 MT. Gainsbraugh predicted that in 1947 seven billion dollars would be spent in construction, resulting in heavy expenditures in furniture and other household goods.
 Since 1940 there has been a 16 percent increase in the number of people in the country and 30 per- cent increase in the number of families, indicating a great poten- tial market for durable goods such as homes, automobiles, and perma- nent possessions, according to MT. Gainsbraugh.
 Employment is at a peak with 48 million people working. Most of the spendings today are for non-durable goods such as clothing, food, and living necessities. Spendings for durable goods are low because it is in this field that scarcities exist. Be- cause of the preponderance of money being spent for non-durable goods there is general shortage, MT. Gainsbraugh explained.
 The balance of the national market, according to the speaker, will depend to great extent on the prevention of 8 new wage price spiral which is now on the thres- hold with many industrial contracts due to expire within the next few months.

 In Spotlight In Big Trial
 Selected as
 Defense Counsel
 In Murder Case

Attorney James 70. c. Murray, native of Waterbury, has been as- signed to represent the defendant in the Logan murder case at the Nassau County Court at Mineola, L. I. He will be paid by the State of New York, the fee not to exceed 5000, according to an announce ment by Presiding Judge Henry J. Collins.
 The noted criminal lawyer was called into the case after Defense Attorney Charles R. Weeks with drew because of illness.
 The defendant, Ward Beecher Caraway, is charged with the slay- ing of Mrs. Marjory Church Logan, Flower Hill socialite, at her home last July A.
 Attorney Murray represented Jack Turk, 14-year-old baby sitter, who was acquitted in May for the slay- ing of his three-year-old charge. He also was counsel for the accused, also acquitted, in the famous Roth stein murder case in 1928. Attorney Murray was one of the defense counsel in the Waterbury Con- spiracy case.
 The presiding jurist in the Logan case said lawyers had no obligation to accept special assignments from the State.

13 Are Killed In SnoWstorm
 Chartered Plane
 Creshes in West

Laramie, Wyo, Oct. 18 - UP)- An official inquiry was scheduled today in the crash of twin-engin- ed transport plane during a heavy snowstorm yesterday, killing all l3 passengers and crew members.
 The big converted DC-3, a char tered plane of the Mats Air Trans port Service, postwar commercial line organized by group of former Navy pilots, ploughed into the rol- ling terrain near here as the pilot attempted to make an emergency landing.
 R. A. Reed, Civil Aeronautics Ad- ministration official from Denver, said that the blizzard apparently was to blame for Wyoming's second air tragedy within 10 days.
 We don't know for sure yet, but the snowstorm was certainly par italy to blame-or at least involv- ed," he said.
 In addition to the CAA, military authorities from Fort Warren, Wyo., arrived to investigate the crash.
 The bodies, including seven Navy passengers, were scattered in four inches of snow over a wide area near Laramies General Breeze Airport.
 The Pilot, unable to land at the scheduled Cheyenne, Wyo., stop, 60 miles southwest of here, reversed his course and had attempted to set the craft down here. A wing tip hit slight knoll, however, and the all-metal plane plunged nose first into the earth.
 c. R. Abernathy, former lieu tenant-commander in the Navy air transport service, was at the con- trols. Abernathy was treasurer of the newly-formed line, which car- ries passengers and freight on charter basis between Oakland, Cal, and Newark, N. J.

THE WATERBURY DEMOCRAT WATERB Y CONN., FRAY OCTOBER l0 946
Brilliant Artists In Recital Here
 Hebrew Ladies'
 Aid Sponsoring
 Outstanding Event

A rich and varied program has been selected for the concert to be given at the Waterbury Women's Club on Sunday evening October 20th, under the auspices of the Wa terbury Hebrew Ladies' Aid Associa- ton.
 Artists to be presented at this time are Jacob H. Bellin and Fanny Eek hardt Rubin, duo-pianists; Mabel Deegan, violinist; Edward F. Schech- CT, baritone. Accompanist for Miss Deegan will be Mary Reid, and G. Huntington Byles will accompany MT. Schecher.
 With an experienced finger on the public's musical pulse, the artists selections range from arias by the nineteenth century masters to the modern works of our own local com- poser pianist, Fanny Eckhardt Rub in. Gay and familiar melodies by Kreisler and Chopin will be featur- ed. The Kreisler numbers, unmistak- ably Viennese in spirit, are always exceedingly popular.
 Eagerly awaited is the perform ance of MT. Bellin and Mrs. Rubin at the two pianos. Several of the selections have been arranged for two pianos by MT. Bellin, and Mrs. Rubin is the composer of Russian Fantasy, a number of moving beau ty.
 One of the highlights of the pro- gram will be Miss Deegan's inter- pretation of the Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso," by Saint-Saens. This number is marked by the tech- nical facility and melodic beauty which is characteristic of the com poser's more frequently heard works.
 MT. Schecher's rich baritone voice will also bring several favorites to a music-loving audience. Among these will be popular arias from well known operas and more modern songs by Charles and Walther.
 It is expected that with such tal- ent and variety of composition, this concert will be greatly enjoyed by all who attend.

'Brinq 'Eno Back AliUe'
 Buck Plans Malayan Trip

no more of 1t. If Buck visits his palace, he won't be at home.
 'It's going to be different" Buck admitted, sitting behind his desk in a Radio City office. We've lost face out there because the natives watched the Japs kick us around. They won't forget that. We're not gods any more"
 Buck figures he still has enough jungle friends left to keep his head from being Topped off his shoulders.
 He's hoping that his head gun- boy, Ali, hasn't been liquidated by the Japanese or joined a union.
 Hopes to Have Ali Again
 Back in the jungle you can't tell 8 boy to do anything that you won't do Ss,1rself," Buck explained. "If you say, Hey, go into that thicket' he won't go unless he's certain that you have guts enough to do the same"
 So unless Buck connects with Ali, or some of his other prewar pals, he may spend much of his time con- vincing the natives that he isn't just another softie from the states.
 T want to make my movie" Buck said. It'll be the first jungle job in technicolor. And want to pick up about 10 elephants for Ringing Brothers. Outside of that, I'll grab what I can catch and bring it home"
 People who turn their noses sky ward at the mere mention of horse meat might learn something from Buck. It seems that animals don't think we humans make such hot fillets either.
 Tiger Finds Humans Repulsive
 Take the tiger" said Buck. ''The tiger would almost rather do any thing than eat human flesh"
 The big jungle cat likes fricasseed monkey antelope la stew, eleph- ants ears with wild turkey dressing but, most of the time, he wouldn't blunt his hunting teeth on stringy human hamSteak.
 "I've seen tigers kill man and then stalk away without touching the body" Buck said. "They would much rather knock off wild game in the normal manner"
 Tigers eat humans, just as hu- mans eat horses-only when they must.
 "One of my boys and I killed a man. hunter" Buck said. When we examined him, we found a big scai on foot. We knew right away why he had turned man-eater. Al one time in his life, he had beer crippled and men were the only meat he could catch"

COP Gains In Congress Are Forecast
 Control Requires
 II Senote Scots,
 26 More in House
By LYLE c. WILSON

united Press Sta1f correspondent
 Washington, Oct. 18-(UP)-Polls and the reports of rowing newspa- per reporters forecast Republican Congressional gains today as the general election campaign ap- preached the final fortnight.
 Republican partisans claim the House of Representatives for sure and say they have a chance to win control of the Senate. Democratic partisans insist they will maintain control of both houses fCongress.
 Alignment Today
 The political alignment as of to- day is as follows:
 Senate: 56 Democrats, 38 Repnb- ncans, Progressive, vacancy.
 House: 237 Democrats, l92 Repub- licans, 1 Progressive, l American Labor, vacancies.
 The Senate vacancy was created by the resignation of Warren R. Austin, Vermont Republican, who has been named United States rep resentative to the United Nations. The Progressive seat was held by Sen. Robert M. LaFollette, Wiscon- sin, who sought nomination this year as a Republican and was de- feated in the primaries.
 A net gain of Il seats would give the Republicans 40 and majority control of the Senate. A net gain of 26 seats would give the COP 21s and majority control of the House. Majority parties almost always lose some seats to the minority in off, year elections. Under the spectacu- lar leadership of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democrats rever- sed that in 1884 by increasing their House membership from 3l3 to 322, and they also gained Senate seats in that off year.
 Democrats Confident
 But the majority trend normally is down in off-year polling and al- most inevitably will be down this year. The Democratic National Committee makes no estimate of how the House and Senate will be divided after the election except to say that both will remain Demo- cratic.
 Republicans claim they will gain 30 to 50 seats in the House. Rep. Clarence J. Brown, R. O., Republi- can campaign director, says the election is in the bag and promises plenty of excitement when the new Congress meets.
 We will open every session of the House with a prayer and close 1t with a probe" Brown told the United Press. We believe in the old gospel hymn, Let the Sunlight In.' The American people have a right to know how their money has been spent and how their govern ment has been conducted. These things have not yet been completely exposed"
 Brown said Republican House in- vestigators-assuming that the Re- publicans control the House-will open up dozen or more investiga- tions, some on subjects already ex- plored. Among the House investiga- tions foreseen by Brown were: War spending; the international highway linking North and South America
