 Government forces were report ed officially to have recaptured the Greek half of the Saranta river at BoroZani.

Truman Asks For Test In Wages
 Before Price Hike

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman appealed to coal and steel producers today to wait until a fair test" has been made of the effects of the coal wage settlement before making any price increases.
 The President, in a statement, said the effect of the wage settle ment lis badly misrepreSented by the bare statement that it amounts to an increase of about 45 cents per hour in wages of miners"
 ''It is only reasonable to ask coal and steel producers to wait until a fair test has been made of the actual effects of the wage ad- vance under conditions of maxi mum production" the President asserted.
 If prices are raised at once, and a wave of increases in related prices upsets our economy, we never will know what would have happened if the coal and steel managers had been willing to wait.
 "The risk involved by continu- ing present prices of coal and steel long enough to learn what the increased costs of production will actually be under the new wage agreement is not serious, es- pecially in view of the fact that such action will greatly reduce the hazards of renewed inflation." Saying the producers of coal and steel 'have been enjoying full share of high profits," he concluded:
 ''I am sure that they, as respon- sible leaders of industry, will want to invest a portion of those profits in the maintenance of busi- ness stability and prosperity for all our people,"
 The President spoke of ''deep | concern" being expressed in many quarters over the results of the re- cent settlement between John L. Lewis united mine workers and the coal operators. He mentioned widespread fear that it might lead to substantial increases in coal and commodity prices as well, re- sulting in renewing "the infla- tionary spiral"
 ''This would be serious blow to our economy and to the contin- uance of the present high level of production and employment" MT. ] Truman said. But such a blow need not fall upon us."
