RICHARD PETERS IS NAMED MANAGER OF STATION KIMY

William J. Wagner, General Man. ager of the Alaska Broadcasting Company, was scheduled to leave Juneau for Ketchikan today via Pan American Airways. He has been in Juneau since Friday morning conferring with staff members of station KINY and planning the in- stallation of new transmitter equip ment which will strengthen and clarify the broadcast signal. The pioneer Alaska broadcaster recently supervised the installation of five kilowatt transmitter at KFRB, Fairbanks, which was operating on thousand watts since its opening two and a half years ago. While here Wagner announced several staff assignments for KINY per- sonnel. They included the appoint ment of Richard Peter, News Editor and Program Director. to be Sta tion Manager; and Miss Juanita Underwood, Alaska Broadcasting Company sales representative, to handle the stations commercial de- partment.
 Wagner also revealed that John Ashbaugh, former station manager, who went to Portland, Oregon, for medical attention, has been ap- pointed Alaska Broadcasting Com pany representative in that city, and plans to open an office there, to represent the Alaska network of six stations. as well as stateside broadcasters and advertisers. His wife, Betty, plans to work in the office with him. Wagner reported that Ashbaugh is making a splendid recovery from recent operation and may be out of the Veterans Hospital by Christmas.
 The Alaska radio executive had hoped to remain in Juneau longer, but as he was a day late in arriving because of flying conditions, he de- cided to leave early so to be able to visit his ,Ketchikan station, KTKN, before going to Seattle to spend the holidays with Mrs. Wag- ner, and other relatives in the northwest.

KEEP CHRISTMAS
 TREES IN WAFER;
 HERE iS REAS0N

Better keep your Christmas tree standing in water from the time you get it home until you discard 1t after the holidays.
 That's the most practical, satls- factory and convenient method found so far for reducing the fire hazard and preventing needles from discoloring or falling, according to the US. Forest Service.
 The Forest Products Laboratory, Wis. has tested water and mum Der of -retardant chemicals as to their effectiveness in cutting down the inflammability of Christ mas trees.
 Here's how to carry out the water treatment, in detail, as recom- mended by the Investigators. Select a tree cut as recently as possibly Gut about an inch, diagonally, oil the bottom of the trunk. Stand the tree at once in a container of water and keep the water level above the edges of the cut during the entlre time the tree is in the house. II the tree is not to be set up at once, keep it, still standing in water, ln a cool place. According to the in- vestigators. freshly cut trees, stand ing in water, cannot be set on fire by candle or match fires, but of course will not withstand a large source of heat"
 The tests showed that keeping the tree standing in water prevents the needles from drying out and becoming inflammable so they con- tinue to appear fresh and green. Trees standing in fire-retardant chemicals, however, did not take up the chemicals as rapidly or n as large amounts as in the. case of water, which resulted in increased combustibility, needle discoloration or fall. Trees actually lost weight while being treated with chemicals, showing that even during the treat ment they were losing moisture and thus becoming inflammable.

Passage Held Possible
By Tuesday; MiIIikin
Asks Later Study

Senate Republicans indicated In
party conference today almost
unanimous support for the new
social security bill, with the pos
sibility of passage by next Tues
day.
Senator Millikin of Colorado,
conference chairman, said there
also was unanimous support for a
further study of the whole system
after Congress adjourns into the
possibility of achieving universal
coverage and a "pay-as-you-go
system"
He predicted there will be wide
Republican support" for an
amendment raising the wage base
for both the payroll tax and the
retirement benefits to the first
So 900 of annual earnings.
Higher Benefits Provided.
The House, in passing the bill
last year, adopted $500, but the
Senate bill as it now stands keeps
the base at the $4,000 level in ex-
isting law. Raising the base will
increase what the employe and
employer pay for social security,
but will also give higher monthly
benefits to those retired.
Senator Millikin said he and
Chairman George of the Finance
Committee will join in sponsoring
a separate resolution to authorize
the further study of a more COM
plete and satisfactory retirement
plan after this bill passes.
The pay-as-you go method to
be studied would do away with
the present accumulated reserve
in the Treasury, and let the cur
rent economy take care of re-
quirements from year to year.
Calls System Dishonest"
Senator Millikin said the pres
ent reserve system is dishonest"
because it promises security 80 or
40 years from now in a stated
number of dollars, when no one
can tell what the dollar will be
worth at that time. He said the
reason I'VE are having this pend
ing revision is that the dollar has
lost so per cent of its value since
the law was passed"
Senator Millikin said he thought
there would be widespread Repub-
lican opposition to restoring in the
Senate the House plan for estab-
fishing social security pensions
based on disability as distinguished
from age. The Senate committee
knocked this out on the ground
it needs more study.

Worker S Real WAGES
May Double in Next
80 Years, Study Shows
Likely if Production
Per Mon Hour Continues
To Rise at Present Rute
By james Y. Newton

The average employees real
hourly wages-what his money
wages can buy-will double in the
next 80 years if production per
manhour rises at the same aver
age rate as in the past, the Com
mittee for Economic Development
said today. 1t would lift average
real" income to $2.66 an hour.
The committee, a buSineSsunan's S
planning organization, released at
a news conference an 8.500-word
analysis of past progress and fu-
ture prospects of raising the Amer
lean workers standard of living.
CED Chairman Marion B. Fol-
som, treasurer of Eastman Kodak
Co., and William A. Patterson,
president of United Air Lines, con-
Quoted the conference.
Pointing out that the problem
of raising the standard of living
of wage earners "is primarily one
of raising real wages" the COM
mittee added:
I'm the last so years real wages
per hour in the United States
have increased more than three
fold. Today the average employe
receives about $1.33 an hour. Back
in 1900 the average was about 43
cents an hour in terms of 1949
prices.
Increased Output Needed.
Success in raising real wages
(buying power) is, in the main, a
matter of increasing output per
manhour. 1t is also a matter OF
keeping people steadily at work.
The outlook is good but future
advances will not be rapid unless
we have many important scien-
tific discoveries, good manage
ment in industry and wise public
policies"
The committee called on leaders
of industry, labor and Government
to plan with wisdom and fore
sight" so that real wages-the
goods and services the worker car
buy in terms of money received
can double in the next 80 years.
Actually, the report pointed out
the gain in real income the last
so years has been greater than in
dicated by figures because of the
tremendous advances in power

Cain 10 Oppose Bill
Saving Rent Control;
Insure on FiIibuster
Objects to Extension
Through Jonuury 81;
Wants December End
By J. A. O'LeoN

Senator Cain, Republican, of
Washington, indicated today he
will oppose the Federal rent con-
troll extension as passed by the
House yesterday because it runs
the fiat extension to January 81
instead of December 81.
He has not decided definitely
to stage another filibuster, as he
did last week before the Senate
acted.
Even If he does not fllibuster,
however, he said he would try To
get the Senate to send the bill
back to the House for another vote
on the January 81 amendment. He
argued this change Is more funda-
mental than mere extension for
seven instead of six months, be-
cause in January the next Con-
gresS will be in session and could
be urged by President Truman to
extend the law again.
He argued that the Senate bill
would have ended Federal control
at a time when Congress would
be in recess. Both houses have
voted, however, to let any city
extend the Federal law until next
June if local authorities take
affirmative action in December.
Majority Favors Control.
Two roll call votes Monday
showed a majority of the Senate
to be in favor of keeping Federal
control at least six months longer
in those States or cities that still
want it. Under Senate rules, how
ever, the bill again will be open
to unlimited debate when the
House amendments are presented,
and a few Senators could hold it
up for a long time If they are so
disposed. Whether they could
keep a f1libuster going for two
weeks. when the present rent law
expires. is doubtful.
