Tenant Leader for

Progressive Citizens of America mas
recommended to Gov. Lane of Mary

to the Rental Area Advisory Board.
Truman J. Keesey, chairman of
the Pea chapter. today said Mr..
Beck, a veteran and a member of
the Montgomery County Tenants
Association, would represent the
tenants interest on the advisory
body.
Mr.. Keesey said the Pea chapter
Executive Committee has adopted
a resolution calling Gov. Lanes an
pointment Of the rent advisory board
"a Grass betrayal of the interests of
the $4,000 tenants residing in these
counties, as well as the public at
large"
1T is almost inconceivable, Mr.,
keesey said, that a board which
is empowered to recommend that
rent control be lifted in all parts
OF the area should not contain a
single tenant or representative of
labor.
The residents Of MONTGOMERY
and Prince Georges Counties now
have little choice other than direct
political action which will carry
through to the polls in l94S. 1t is
the responsibility of Pea to help
develop and lead this political
action, = ."

Court attaches who compile the

clared., He added that the number

Wage and Price Spiral
Spells Rocky Times,
Gibson Tells Meetinq

The upward race between wages
and prices is going to bring rocky
times to American workers, John
w. Gibson, Assistant Secretary OF
Labor, warned today.
Speaking before the Educational
Institute on Employment Security at
American University, Mr.. Gibson
said he was not "pessimistic about
the situation" But among items he
mentioned we're the following:
Wages have not kept abreast of
living costs. This continued rise of
the cost Of living is putting pressure
on the wage level.
Profits Higher Than Ever.
Industrial profits are higher than
ever before, adding to the cost of
living. Recent wage increases could
have been absorbed by industry
without price increases, but they
were not and the race continues
between profits, wages and living
costs.
More than 100000 handicapped
workers are unemployed today
These people were doing good job
in industry during the war but since
have been fired. Industry is Slip
ping back to demanding high physi-
cal standards for workers instead
of placing a man on a job that he
will be able to do in spite Of his
handicap.
Il don't know what we're going
to do" Mr.. Gibson said. Il doubt
if anyone knows"
He said a balance between wages,
profits and the cost of living was
needed and q program set up for
utilization of handicapped persons
in industry. He predicted leveling
of of the upward trend within the
year followed by several years of
full employment.

The protest was signed by heads

Mutual Broadcasting System, and
the National Broadcasting Co.
