Beauty treatment is adopting a
bedside manner.
Never one to gainsay what every
healthy woman knows about the
therapeutic value of a permanent
wave, Garfield Hospital yesterday
demonstrated a bedside beauty
service for patients.
If a manicure will make a man
feel better, that's available too.
The idea of portable beauty serv-
ice in hospitals isn't new. Suburban
Hospital, in nearby Bethesda, has
had a wheeled unit available since
last spring, and out there they're
the last to deny its effect as a
morale builder.
When manned by a qualified
beautician, who has been especially
versed in sufficient ethics that she
won't discuss the condition of one
patient with another patient, the
portable unit is a pretty handy
12-way gadget.
In a cabinet 1S inches by IS
inches, and 3 feet high, not count
ing that astradome looking con-
traption used to dry hair, are
these services: Foam shampoo,
wave, eyebrow arch. plain mani
cure. oil manicure, shampoo. scalp
treatment, facials. tint bleach
touchup, permanent wave. hair

.CeIIer Investigation
To Turn TO Newsprint
After Steel Hearings
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

Chairman Celler of the House
Judiciary Committee said yester-
day the committee has informa-
ton that Canadian newsprint
firms and certain provincial gov
ernments of Canada apparently
have participated in price fixing
arrangements" against United
States publishers.
Mr.. Celler announced at news
conference that the newsprint in
dustry would be investigated as
part of the committees general
inquiry into concentrations of
economic power. Canadian man
ufacturerS will be invited to
testify.
The Celler monopoly investiga-
ton, as it is generally called, be-
gan last summer. 1t is to resume
February Is with hearings first
on United States Steel Corp.
Newsprint Inquiry to Follow.
Mr.. Celler said that after fin
ishing with steel the committee
will turn to the newsprint indus
try and follow in order with the
du Pont interests, Lever Brothers
and Unilever of Great Britain,
sales of theater tickets at premium
prices, and the liquor distilling
industry.
The committee chairman did
not name the provincial govern
ments of Canada which he said
apparently were participants in
price fixing arrangements with
newsprint companies.
Naming companies whose Off
cials will be asked to testify, he
spoke of International, Consoli-
dated, Price Brothers and Abitibi.
Mr.. Celler declared:
"If the Canadian mills worked
to their proper capacities, there
would be plenty of newsprint
within the price range"
Two Actions Suggested.
MI. Celier SalQ ne CnougnC the
United States should:
/. Protest to Canadian author
tiles that we will not stand for
this monkey business, and
2. Make some attempt to de-
velop alternate sources of news
print in Alaska which has large
timber reserves.
Saying that the newsprint situa-
ton is getting very serious he
cited that the high cots of paper
was one reason given for the
recent sale of the New York Sun.
Newsprint prices have gone up
l04 per cent in the last 10 years,
he told reporters.

Nourse Urges Delay
On Welfare Projects
To Stabilize Economy
By the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-If the Ma
ton is to get on sound financial
footing, says DR.. Edwin c. Nourse,
many of the administrations de
velopmental and welfare" pro-
jects must be postponed or re-
duced. ..,.
The former top economic ad-
wiser to President Truman said
yesterday that the deficit spending
necessary to pay for the projects
might impair the functioning of
the economy" and thus sabotage
the gains" they were intended to
produce.
He told the Economic Club of
New York that I'VE may later be
well-advised in going ahead" with
these projects when the cold war
has abated" or Federal revenues
have increased.
Asks Hard Headed Plan"
Pointing to the two-year, $10,-
900, 100000 deficit now in prospect,
DR.. Nourse said the outlook had
stirred fears of imitation and pos
sibly a rising uncertainty as to
the stability of the dollar ITSELF"
He called for a specific and
hard-headed plan Of getting back
to black ink" and said the budget
can be balanced sin a year or two"
if the Government economies and
trims the Presidents welfare pro-
gram.
DR.. Nourse. who headed the
Presidents Council of Economic
Advisers until he resigned three
months ago, said the present rate
of Federal spending is providing
an. artificial and dangerous"
support to the economy.
But if the present level of pros
perity is to be maintained, he
said. I'VE cannot just kick that
prop from under the market"
Business Must Fill Gap.
'We must replace it by the
more substantial and enduring
support of private business oper-
ations," he said. Such a switch,
even if done with the greatest
of courage and skill. cannot be
accomplished overnight"
AS the Government cuts it's
spending. he said. business must
fill the gap with carefully con-
Sidered, prompt and prudently
venturesome plans" for expansion
and new activity.
If this is done. he said, he be-
lieved I'VE can get from the sit
uation of deficit in a time of
prosperity to a sound fiscal sit
uation within a year or two, and
with production and employment
maintained at a high level"

Profit and Pay Demand
Cuts Urged by Sawyer
To Bring Prices Down
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. %
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
proposed today that business give
up some of it's profits and labor
some of it's wage demands to
bring prices down.
He said consumers interests
must be a first concern of the
Government that the farmer
should bear them in mind when
he asks for public support of
agricultural prices" and that the
consumer sits unseen at every la
Dor management conference.
"Yet no one pleads in his be-
half" the Commerce Secretary
told the National Gamers Asso-
citation.
IF management can demon
strate to labor that it seriously
intends to sacrifice some of it's
profits in the interest of the con-
sumer, labor should be willing to
modify its own demands" he said.
Powerful Appeal to Worker.
Such management offer. he
added. Should make a powerful
appeal to the worker, who is also
a consumer"
Mr.. Sawyer took the position
that both employers and workers
would gain from price cuts, de
claring that sales would expand.
Evening star., 1950-01-29

thus leading to increased produc-
ton.
IF business and labor keep the
consumer in mind he said, they
will bargain with one another
more effectively in the national
interest.
"On the one hand, business will
place more emphasis on a liberal
and statesmanlike price policy.
by thinking first about setting
prices at the point where more
people can buy their goods, they
will widen their market and in
crease their efficiency.
1949 Called Best Year.
"The worker, as partner with
management in the production of
goods, is interested in expanding
markets, which in turn mean
greater productivity and, in the
end. good wages"
The cabinet officer said 1949 was
probably the best year in the
history of the American economy" :"
from the standpoint of consumer
satisfaction"
Consumer income left after
taxes set a record of over $751;
000, 100000 and there were more
goods and services to be had-at
somewhat reduced prices
ever before, he said.

Steel Industry CIings
To War Profit Rate,
0'kahoney Charges

Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat,
of Wyoming, said yesterday the
steel industry seems to want to
freeze the very high profit rate"
1t received during the war.
He made the comment in dis
cussing the hearings held last
week by the Senate House Eco
nomic Committee on the recent
increases in steel prices.
Senator O'Mahoney, who heads
the joint committee, said the
testimony during the four days
OF hearing indicates the steel in
dustry wants the consumers to
supply them with their plants
with the least possible cost to
them"
He pointed out, as he had dur
Ing the hearings. that the steel
spokesmen who testified before the
committee attributed the increase
in part to the need for providing
funds for keeping their plant
facilities efficient and effectively
productive.
Senator O'Mahoney said that
the charges for plant improve
ments and expansion written into
the present steel prices by the in
dustry are "a very heavy charge
upon present-day consumers. It
is not, he added. the usual
amortization" practice.
He called attention to the
testimoney of A. B. Homer, presi-
dent of the Bethlehem Steel Co.,
that the company needs S117,0O0.-
600 yearly for plant expansion and
improvements.
Under questioning by Senator
O'Mahoney. the steel executive
placed the original cost of
Bethlehem's diverse facilities at
81 ,186,000,000. At the rate Of
Sl17,O00,000 a year taken from
sales revenue. the entire original
cost of facilities, the Senator
pointed out, would be paid for by
consumers in 10 years.
In other words" said Senator
OMahoney, Bethlehem wants a
price that will replace it's facili-
ties in 10 years"
During his testimony FRIDAY
Mr.. Homer said the company fig
ures the average life of it's equip
ment at 80 years.
Senator O'Mahoney also criti-
clzed the practice of price lead
ershlp" in the steel industry. He
pointed out that United States
Steel Corp. set the pattern of in
creases and that the other pro-
ducers followed in line.
He described the steel industry
as a private industrial collectiv-
ism and added:
I'VE talk of free enterprise and
the maintenance of competition.
II we want free enterprise we
must preserve the opportunity for
the individual to enter that en-
terprise, and we must preserve it
also from regimentation, whether
RECOMMENDATION exercised by the
authority of private managers or
public managers"
Senator O'Mahoney said the
Joint Committee will meet soon
to study the record of the hear
ings and probably to write a re-
port.
