Bank Presidents Warn Against
 Initiation In U. $.

WASHINGTON, (P)-Warnings of imitation are fluttering again in the Capital, but most of the econo- mic lookouts discount any imme- diate peril. They see fairly steady, prosperous sailing throug h u t 1850.
 President Truman is not expect ed to revive his demands of a year ago for drastic standby" an limitation powers. This is de- spite the rise in credit to new peaks, the firming of prices, and the fall improvement in business and employment.
 Cove rnment economists and some private experts report the revival of an "inflationary poten- tial." They base the report mainly on heavy in-th-red spending by the government and on the new round of wage-and-pension in creaSeS.
 Yet few of them expect a major price Whirl in the next 12 months.
 The "disinflation" is not over for some important industries. Many economists believe the long rage hazard is deflation.
 A concensus of the forecasts might boil down to this:
 1850 will be another year of high income and high production, on a level of prosperity not too unlike 1949 and not far below rec ord-smashing 1948.
 Imitation warnings have been uttered by two bank presidents and other witnesses before Sena- tor Douglas O.-Ill0 economic subcommittee. These have stirred speculation whether MT. Truman will again seek controls over prices, wages, commodity trading and materials allocation.
 The decision, if it is not already made, will come in the next month as the President prepares his annual economic message to the new session of Congress.
 Persons in close touch with White House blaming say a new bid for controls is unlikely and, even in one comes, would be turned down by Congress.
 This view is voiced by Senator Flanders of Vermont, a Republi- can manufacturer and a member O fthe Senate-House economic

In Childcraft books, pr. Harold il. Anderson, Head of the Depart ment of Psychology at Michigan State College, points out that the toddler "dOes not mean to be naugh- ty. He's not trying to be disObedient- He's just at an age when spOn- taneity is high. He is - ladies and gentlemen - an investigator with ideas galore, who's doing something every blessed minute of the day!"
 That won't come as much of surprise to you mothers of babies going-On-two, who are breathleSs and exhausted much of the time from chasing after them, through house and yard.
 To the toddler, touching sand paper or feeling sugar on the floor is a strange experience; hearing paper tear or rattle, an amazing dis covery. When he SallieS forth to make the most of his five senses, he puts everything in his mouth and occasionally gets new sensations of smell as well as of taste and touch.
 "In brief, the age from one to two is a period in which the child has intense curiosity but little judge ment," Dr. Anderson points out.
 , Because the toddler stage is "a crucial training period" when the child is learning about the world around him, it is particularly im- portant that parents understand this phase of development and the problems common to it.

Increased Aid To
States Aged May
Average 81 Month

Complaints from persons in var
ious parts of the state that old
age assistance payments have not
been sufficiently increased for
every recipient indicate misunder-
standing of the legislation passed
at the 1949 legislative session,
Nels C. Briggs, administrator Of
the state welfare department has
declared.
The misunderstanding appeared
to lie in a belief that each aged
person would receive an increase
of 81 under provisions of the
law. The legislation provides for
increases in payment only to the
extent that need for the addition
al amount is established. When
county welfare departments have
completed reinvestigations now
under way, the increase for all
recipients is expected to average
approximately ST in accordance
with the law passed by the legisla-
ture, even though each person will
not receive an increase in that
amount.
Although the law was not effec-
tive until July 1, average pay
ments to recipients have already
increased from $45 to $50.50 and
are expected to reach an average
OF $52 this fall.
Gov. John w. Bonner asked
Briggs to clarity in detail the
provisions of the law in order
to eliminate misunderstanding.
In a statement prepared by
Briggs, he pointed out that the
department is required by state
and federal law to administer old
age assistance on the basis of
need. To carry out this require
ment, the department has made a
survey of living costs and has es-
tablished the amounts which are
to provide food, cloth
ing, shelter, fuel and other needs.
The need of each recipient is
against those standard
amounts in terms of income and
resources he already has toward
his total need. Therefore,
persons receive payments differ
ing in amounts, since the depart
ment only provides money to meet
the needs which a person cannot
meet for himself.
Some have received an increase
of as much as $50, where hospital
ization is provided, while other
increases have been much less, but
when the Investigations are all
complete and payments adjusted,
the final result will be an increase
on the average of 81 by fall, and
the average increase in grant has
reached $3.50, and will go
up to approximately 81 on the
average.
