Wage Board Moves
To Cut Paper Work

The Wage Sterilization Board
yesterday moved to reduce the
paper work required in complying
with wage control regulations for
thousands of employers.
The board eliminated require
ments that employers must file
written reports with wage-hour
Offices in certain instances where
employees were given cost of living
"eScalator" increases, and under
the regulation which permits,
without board approval, the grant,
ing of wage increases up to 10 per
cent above the level of January
Is, 1850.
Under a new ruling, employers
now will be required only to keep
full records of increases granted
up to the 10 per cent. The same
procedure applies to the granting
Of increases under cost of living
or "escalator" clauses which were
written into labor contracts before
January 25, 1851.
In the past. employers have
been required to file within 10
days four copies Of reports on in
creases granted under the 10 per
cent increase formula" and a
similar number of copies on "es-
calator" raises within 80 days at
the nearest wage-hour office.
The records of increases granted
must be kept available for inspec-
ton "by appropriate Government
agencies"

Rails Lead Mild Boon
In Corporate Bonds
During Active Week
By D. A. Williams
Financial Writer


NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-The bond
market developed a few firm spots
among rails today but the great
majority of issues plodded along
in narrow range with little change
either way recorded.
During the week, a mild boom
hit corporate bonds. Rails were
the principal beneficiary but the
rally extended to other groups.
A few of the more inactive is
sues failed to participate in the
rise and took losses running up to
5 points.
st. Louis-San Francisco AIS
were particularly outstanding.
Sales of the Frisco issue in two
sessions alone topped the $500, 900
par value figure.
Firmness characterized Govern
ment bond market operations all
week although activity was moder.
ate. Longer maturity issues turned
in net advances ranging gen.
orally from 2/32 of a point to
I6/32. Medium and short-term
changes ranging from up 1882 to
down 1882.
In the foreign dollar section,
most japanese bonds softened on
small sales. Losses ran from "
a point for UjigaWa Electric Power
Is to 512 for Japan Gas. Orient
Development IS added major
fraction.
A sizable list of new corporate
offerings found favorable going
along with the upswing of bonds
already on the market. Ready
investor response was reported by
handlers.

Christmas Retail Sales.
Reported Good Except
For Some Soft Spots
By Richord Fiske
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 8-The
storekeeper's cash register rang
merrily in most sections of the ma
ton this week and factory wheels
humed at a high rate.
Businessmen and industrialists
were beginning to talk about the
year ahead. And most of them saw
good business for 1952-but with
some reservations.
Government officials reported
the defense program was expand
ing at the rate of 81 billion a
month.
Controls Seen Easing.
There were hints of an easing of
some materials controls. There
were indications that productivity
would be considered as a basis for
wage stabiliZation.
But there were soft spots too. 1t
wasn't all beer and skittleS. A note
of caution crept into hitherto en-
thuSiastic predictions.
For instance. the overall picture
was one of better dollar sales at
the retail stores than last year.
But it was hard to convince the
storekeeper in some of the slower
communities.
New York Trade Slow.
New York department store
owners were among the store
keepers who were unimpressed by
the much-touted Christmas trade
They said there were more shop
pers than buyers.
Many a businessman said a lot
Of business would be pretty fiat
right now if it wasn't for the de-
tense program. But most of them
believed that regardless of Korean
events the defense program would
continue.
There might be a short-term
psychological set back in the event
Of a truce in the Far East. But
they didn't think it would be a
long term reaction.

Weeks Stock Gains
Viewed as Beginning
OF Traditional Rally
By Roder Wineet
Assoeioted Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. "a gooo
start was made this week on what
Wall Street hopes is the tradi-
tional year-end rally in the stock
market.
Prices were higher. trading was
heavy, and there was a bullish
sparkle in the boardrooms.
There were lots of crossed fin
gers. 'Day-to-day and even week.
to-week setbacks are anticipated
even if a year-end rally should
extend on into the New Year. The
bulls are hoping that nothing will
occur to upset the applicant.
This week the market was up
five days out of six. and trading
ended today on a higher note.
A. P. Average Gains.
The Associated Press average of
so stocks gained 10 cents at
$98.60. Using that average to show
the progress that has been made,
these figures emerge. The A. P.
average reached its lowest point
of the October break just two
weeks ago. Today it is $420 above
the low and only $3.50 from the
peak of the year where the break
started.
Because such good progress has
been made, warnings against a
short-term reaction gather added
attention. And as the market
moves back up to its old peaks
there will be additional pressure
exerted against the rise.
ReasSurances for an expanding
long-term economy continued on
every hand because of the deter
mined expansion of Government
spending for defense.
Personal Income Rises.
Personal income in October rose
to an annual late of $257.5 billion
from $253.6 billion in September
and $234.1 billion a year ago
October.
All of the 20 most active stocks
of the week were higher and seven
Of them were railroads.
Volume for the week was $780,
600 shares as compared with
6,742.000 shares last week.

Health Officers Hear
Plea for Speedup in
F!uoridatina Of Water

The State and Territorial
Health Officers Conference at the
Federal Security Agency today
settled down to committee work
in closed session, after hearing
a plea to speed up the Nationwide
program to put f1uoride in drink
ing water to curb tooth decay.
The plea came yesterday in an
address by DR.. John w. Knutson
chief of the Division of Dental
Health of the United States Pub
lie Health Service. He said per-
sonnel shortages are delaying the
program.
Says Urgency Exists.
The speaker said "it would be
an extremely poor job if we let
it take us more than three tc
five years"
Urgency exists, he contended
because through water f1uorida
ton we can assure a two thirds
reduction in the incidence of tooth
decay" He declared: 1T can bt
stated unequivocally that no COM
imunity can now afford the luxury
of continuing to use f1uoride-free
drinking water. The cost of con-
tinuing to do so is tremendous.
District authorities are planning
TO put fiuoride in the drinking
water here.

curity Administrator Oscar r

Chester BowIes in Calcutta
On Get Acquainted Tour
BY the Associoied Press

CALCUTTA, India, Nov. 81
Chester Bowles. the new United
States Ambassador to India,
toured CALCUTTA today.
When he arrived in India, MIR
Bowles promised to see all sec
tions of the country so he could
know it's ordinary people as well
as it's leaders. He came to Cal
'cutta yesterday for a three day
visit.
Mr.. Bowles suggested to a press
conference that different farming
methods. perhaps co-operatives in
place of the individual farms OF
an acre or less, might help the
country. Better methods, he said
could produce more food and SC
save foreign exchange to build up
industries.
He said India may ask the
United States for more grain, as
it did last year. because there is a
prospective shortage of 5 million
tons.
