representatives so that oppos-
ing sides could try to narrow
areas of disagreement on proper
wage and price policies. 1t was
in this statement that they
made it clear they believe there
are many more reasons for
price rises than wage increases.
1t was in this statement that
they fatty rejected some ideas
being tossed around in Con-
gress and the administration
today-such as breaking up
national unions, slapping on
price and wage controls. 1t
was in this statement that the
American Assembly emphasized
it was much more concerned
about faster growth than about
more imitation.
But the formal statement
isn't the story of the Ameri-
can Assembly! The vital news
lies in the stories behind the
statement. For instances, what
do these authorities really think
is the price outlook? I'll report
this tomorrow.

American AssembIy-7
~ SYLVIA PORTER

What happens when leaders
of industry, organized labor and
the Government are shut up
for days and assigned the job
of deciding who is to blame for
initiation and what should be
done about it?
For three days and nights the
week before last more than so
executives from Government,
industry. labor, agriculture and
education met for a series of
conferences in a magnificent
manor house at Hartman, N.
Y, to debate basic attitudes
and policies on wages, prices,
profits and productivity.
This was the 18th American
assembly, established by Dwight
D. Eisenhower when he was
president of Columbia Univer-
sity in the hope that given a
proper forum, the Nations ex-
perts could find solutions to
major public problems. 1t took
place at Arden House, the &C.
room boyhood home of w.
Averell Hartman which he
gave to Columbia as a site for
the assembly.
Full Report Planned
I was a participant and in
the next few columns I'll re-
port on what I learned. But,
first I'll explain how the assem-
bly, operates.
A year ago Henry M. Wriston,
president. and the asSembly's
board of trustees decided that
this years conference would be
devoted to prices and wages.
Weeks ago each of us re-
ceived from Charles Meyers OF
Massachusetts Institute OF
Technology, a book containing
six original and informative
research papers on major price
and wage issues. We we're
asked to study them before we
came to the assembly.
Then, armed with our books,
papers, impressions and con-
victions, we went to Arden
House-and to work.
The participants were divided
into panels Of Is to 20. Dis
cuSsions began before 9 am,
continued with only short
breaks to dinner at 7 pm
Shortly after 8 pm. the group
convened for formal speeches.
After that small debating ses-
sions began again. This was
the procedure for three days
until last Sunday, when we met
in plenary session and came to
general agreement on attitudes
and policies on wages and
prices.
