The Wage-Price MuddIe

TT is SAID that Nero fiddled while Rome
Il burned. And it seems that the Price Stabil-
zation Board in Washington under the imme-
diate direction of our former mayor, Mike Di-
Sale, is doing just about the same thing. Gov
ernment agencies freely admit that prices are
skyrocketing every day. Prices in practically
every field have hit new peaks since the mid
die of last year when the Korean flared
into violent action. Yet there is no definite ac-
ton by our government to control and to roll
back these impossible price-hikes to h ir
proper levels.
The situation is made intolerable by the
wage freeze" that was slapped on the work
ing people Right now literally hundreds of
collective bargaining sessions are h ED up
simply because no one seems to know how
far wages might be lifted. Thus that
while there seems to be nothing much anyone
do to actually stop the rising cost of living,
the earnings of people are held to levels long
obsoleted by these same price hikes.
The situation is made much worse for the
people by the governments action demanding
stiff tax increases not only on personal IN
comes, but on the most necessary and vital
commodities that the common people need.
Meanwhile almost nothing is done to tax the
fantastic profits of Big Business.
No wonder people, in the low-income groups
especially, are getting impatient with these
government policies 1t seems to us that the
Administration should act quickly to bring
about strict control of prices and to allow wage
adjustments in all industries to take care of Cd
substandard wage conditions and (2) eliminate
the slack that exists presently between wage
standards and prices. Surely there m US t be
established proper and equitable relationship
between prices and wages, otherwise our coun-
try may run into some very stiff weather
economically and politically speaking
In any event, Messers. Wilson, Johnston, Di-
Sale and Ching ought to quit fiddling and get
down to serious business to protect the welfare
of our people and our country.

civilian production IN these TWO

Right here in Toledo thousands
of workers will be laid off within
the next 80 to 60 days according
to present production scheduling.
And no one seems to be able to do
anything about it.

WHEN you talk to the people in the shops 1T con-
w stantly surprises you how much misunder-
standing there is about pensions, now.
Many don't know, for instance, that the WHY'S
Overland pension negotiated last November be-
comes effective next July. This amount of time is
necessary to get all of the actuarial detail work
done and get program off to good start.
1t is interesting, too, to trace the effect of the
UAW-CIO drive for better old age security on the
payments made by the Federal government so. 8
AS late last September, the average old age
pension payment was only $26 and had maximum
of only $46.50. Even last September it would have
been impossible to imagine anyone trying to live
that kind of money. The price gouging set off by
the Korean war had already been going for a couple
of months, and maximum pension of $465O didn't
mean much. The average of $26 month was prac-
ticaly insult
After September the Federal payment jumped
to $68.50, with average of $4425
And as of next July, the maximum will climb
to $50, with $50 month average payment antici-
pated. - s+
The average will have doubled by next Summer
and the maximum will nearly have doubled-and
all for one simple reason. 49,. 80
The UAW W-CIO went after pensions with the full
power of its million plus membership, and brought
benefits to the aged all the country, in and out
of unions Dill
There must be hundreds in Toledo alone who
receiving the greatly increased Federal benefits
who don't realize it the UAW-CIO drive that
won these boosts for them. s
UAW-CIO members in Toledo, of course mostly
get additional pensions paid for by the company
and few get less than 500 month. Most of them
get more.
Behind these dull, dry statistics is point that
is overlooked by the people who fight unions and
hate labor leaders.
When read some new smear story in the To-
1edO Blade, it makes me angry and disgusted, just
as it would anybody else And wonder how much
of that kind of thing I'm supposed to take.
But when meet some old timer whose retiring
years have been made easier by fight helped to

They come UP to you, these old people, and they

And knowing makes it all worth while. can

Young Convict Caught
7 Hours After Escape
BY the Associated Press

LIVINGSTON, Va, Nov. 23.-|
A young convict who celebrated
Thanksgiving by breaking out Of
Jail is back behind bars today.
Although Warren Davis Blank
enship, 81, used violence to OBJ
tain his freedom. ne surrendered
meekly enough when confronted
by the law.
State police and Nelson County
authorities recaptured the escaped
prisoner last night, just two hours
after he had broken out of the
lookup here.
Blankenship made his break at
supper time. When Jailer Luther
+. Sheffield arrived with his meal
the young convict sprang forward,
pinned Sheffield behind an open
door and took his money, keys and
pistol.
Two other prisoners were in
the lookup at the time but de-
clined to join in the dash for
freedom.
Following his arrest last night,
officers reported that he was
serving concurrent sentences for
breaking and entering and grand
larceny. In addition, he was said
to be awaiting trial on two felony
charges.

Single Comma Raises
Hot Fight Over Indian
Contract Regulations
BY the Associoted Press

~ us HssSSt1iSa ''ess
Was q comma inserted acci-
dentally in a 79-year-old law. or
was it done on purpose?
That hotly-disputed question is
, one of many in a controversy over
how much authority the Secretary
of Interior and Indina Affairs
commissioner have over contracts
between Indians and lawyers.
Secretary Oscar Chapman and
Commissioner Dillon Myer con-
tend laws enacted in 1872 and 1894
give them broad power and the
responsibility to regulate such
contracts to protect the Indians
from the lawyers.
Attorneys and some tribes hold
that legal power of the Govern
ment officials is limited at most
to choosing lawyers and fixing
their fees.
The 1872 law provides the COM
ma controversy. It read: mo con-
tract shall be made by any
person. with any tribe of Indians,
or individual Indians. (note COM
MAJ not citizens" etc., without
departmental approval.
Say 1t Was Intentional.
The lawyers contend the law ap-
plies only to unorganized tribes
that have non-citizen Indians, like
Canadians or Mexicans. in their
membership.
They say the comma was in
serted Intentionally.
The Government men declared
it was an accident, presumably
a slip of a typistS finger. They
say the 1872 statute succeeded
and elaborated on the Indian De-
partment Appropriation Act of
1871, which read: :" any tribe
of Indians, or individual Indian
mote missing comma) not a citi-
zen," etc.
Department lawyers conclude:
"The 1872 statute represented
the departure from the original
punctuation, and the punctuation
of the United States code today
is that Of the original statute, the
briefs allegation to the contrary
Notwithstanding"
Regulations Modified.
The fireworks-hottest the In
dian Bureau has been in during
recent years-began last year
after Mr.. Myer issued proposed
regulations covering Indian con-
tracts. He said there would be no
substantial departure from rules
previously followed informally.
Attorneys protested that the
Government was arbitrarily try
ing to grab more power than the
laws allowed and play politics.
After reading protests and con-
sulting with Government at
torneys, Mr.. Myer put out a
modified set of regulations and
invited comments from interested
persons. Comments Of special
study committee set up by the
American Bar Association, pre-
sented to Mr.. Myer early this
month, were highly critical.
Numerous Complaints.
Secretary Chapman and Mr..
Myer say that the laws give them
authority to Ak regulations cover
ing many aspects Of C ontracts
between Indian tribes and law
yers, to make sure the Indians
don't get gypped.
Complaints have been numerous
over regulation Of contract length
and termination. attorneys ex-
penses, a requirement that at-I
torneys make periodic reports and
the advice that, tribes select
attorneys from on or near their
reservation.
Secretary Chapman announced
Monday he will hold a public
hearing on the subject here Janu-
ary 3.

However they should be violated if the matter under
