A move by delegates from As

establishment of the Internation-

a new organization to coordinate

spend all the money they can on things for their
home! Except for their children, their house means
more to them than anything else. Every piece Of
equipment, from the living-room chairs to the
washing machine is a family treasure. They buy
books too, and albums of records. They have a
charming, convenient house, and they are always
thinking of ways to improve it:
The Macknights, who live next door, spend
much less OF their house. They can't afford it;
not and take a trip every year: But they figure
that both they and their children will get more
from meeting new people and seeing new places
than from having extra household comforts:
1T all depends on what you want out of life"
The Castles say to the Macknights, arguing in a
friendly way about which family gets the most:
But they agree, with modern tolerance, that each
family should make its own plan, according to
the temperament and philosophy of its members.

How to. PLAN for Family Happiness

. Planning what you want in life is only part of sound money
planning. You'll be more likely to have enough money on
hand when you need it, if you'll follow these few simple rules:
FOR TO-DAY .... The first thing, for most families, is to take
care of the larger fixed items such as rent, taxes, insurance, mort.
gage and installment payments, etc.
So start by adding up all your fixed items for the year, divide
by 81, and set aside that amount weekly.
Also every family should have a rainy day" fund equal to at
least four weeks income. Set aside a little every week until YOU
have that much. Then, you'll know how much you can spend for
food, clothing, heat, light, amusements, and so forth.

BOMBAY, India, Aug. 28.-Owing
10 reduced industrial production and
rising prices, India is skidding to-
ward an economic crisis "of the first
magnitude" according to J. r. D.
Tata.
The chairman of the gigantic Tata
Industrial empire, largest in India
addressed an annual meeting of the
Tata Iron & Steel Co. late yesterday
Mr.. Tata listed labor disturbances
and the damaging effects of heavy
taxation imported in the last budget
on industrial expansion and busi-
ness activities in general" as the
main causes for industrial setbacks
despite political independence.
Since prewar years, finished steel
production has dropped about one
quarter. Production Of other KEY
items such as cloth, coal and sugar
also has decreased seriously, he
declared.
At the same time the general price
index has nearly trebled while wages
and salaries have about doubled.

AS Congress opens hearing on

quate action he taken to meet the

The answer, informed sources
here believe, depends upon public
opinion.
If the majority of people think
strong labor legislation is essen

know their views, the chances are
they will get what they want.
Testimony May Determine
1t is taken for granted that leg
lSlati0n will be passed to meet part
of the problem, such as requiring
unions to carry out their contracts
giving employers the right of free
speech, and dealing with jurisdic-
tional strikes.
But whether Congress will pro
