Study Suggests
AdVanceNotice
On Price Rises
CO THE EVENING STAR
Washington, D. c.
TTesdoy, December is, 1859
By the AssocIatsd Prem

A Texas University economist
suggests that important indus
tries be required to give ad-
vance notice Of price and wage
increases.
Prof. Emmette S. Redford
said such a requirement might
be imposed where the proposed
increases would issue from DO
sitions of power and would have
a serious inf1ationary effect"
He said the requirement
could be coupled with author
ity to the President to estab-
ish fact-f1nding boards to study
the prospective increases and
to issue advisory statements or
recommendations.
Several Bills in Works
The Redford proposals were
in a study report published by
the Senate-HouSe Economic
Committee yesterday as a part
OF its investigation of policies
needed to bring a stable dollar.
maximum employment and
steady economic growth.
The professor said that If
public consideration of price
and wage boosts which NAV
have inflationary effects is de-
sired, the advance notice tech
nique coupled with Government
investigation of the increases
might be a feasible procedure.
Several bills have been intro
duced in Congress to REQUIRE
this procedure. but they have
not gone beyond the hearing
stage so far.
AS an alternative, the econo-
mist said that some policy using
similar techniques might be de-
veloped for the steel industry
alone because Of the infia-
tionary record and potential
OF steel prices and wages"
Position Explained
"A policy for the steel in
dustry might have the dual OBJ
tective Of avoiding inflationary
effects Of concentrated market
power and Of preventing stop
pages Of production" he wrote.
In another paper published
by the committee, Prof. Mark
w. Leiserson Of Yale University
said 1t was highly doubtful
whether Western European
approaches to the problem Of
wage-price stability would have
much application in the United
States.
Some e European countries
have worked out effective ma
tional wage policies but these
require a high degree of central
coordination of economic poll
cies and actions within the
Government itSelf-something
that does not now exist and is
not likely to develop in the
United States, he wrote.

Yates es|mposes
New BIackout

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
Dec. IS (AP) Maj. Gen. Dom
aid N. Yates, commander of
the Air Force Missile Test Cen
ter. yesterday barred the press
from advance information on
launchings of military missiles.
He also said newsmen will
not be able to cover military
launchings from the press site
on the cape.
Gen. Yates said he took the
action because United Press In
ternational on Saturday car
ried a story which pinpointed
the launching Of a space probe.
The UPI story, datelined Wash
ington, said the United States
would attempt today to send
a payload toward the vicinity
OF Venus and into orbit about
the sun.
The probe since has been
postponed because of technical
difficulties.
Gen. Yates said UPI vio-
lated an agreement not to write
this information for publica-
tion after he had briefed the
press on the launching. He
had warned the press at a
meeting last week that one
violation would mean that in
formation would be withheld
from all press representatives.
The general said it is his
contention that if a news Or
ganization is represented at the
Cape, all representatives of
that organization, no matter
where they are stationed, must
abide by the agreement not to
cause the information to be
published before the launching.
The Yates ban applies to
launchings of rockets such as
Polaris, Atlas, Titan, Thor and
Jupiter. 1t does not apply to
scientific shots sponsored by
the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, such as
the Venus probe.
United Press International
said the Washington dispatch
was written on the basis of
information from non military
sources.

BALTIMORE, Sept. rs (AP).
-Maryland's population is near
the 3 million mark with Balti-
more accounting for about /
million, accorIing to State
Health Depa r1"-t lures.
The State agency said yes
terday its final vital statistics

16l died. The department said
the birth rate has remaineA
fairly constant since 1920 while

ing for 4,2l4 deaths.

Mayor Grady
Asks Special
Tax Session

BALTIMORE, Sept. 26 tAP)
Mayor J. Harold Grady has
made another plea for a spe-
cial session of the General
Assembly to broaden the city's
taxing powers, but there was
no immediate word from Gov.
TaweS.
The Governor has authority
to call the Legislature into spe-
cial session.
He indicated after Mayor
Grady'S first request a few days
ago that he wanted certain
assurances.
Gov. Tawes said any pro-
posed legislation should not
infringe on State revenue
sources. He also asked for a
definite formula the Mayor
proposed to present to legisla-
tors.
Support Sought
And the Governor suggested
the tax plan should have the
support of the city's legislative
delegation.
Friday, Mayor Grady for
mally asked for enabling legis-
lation which would permit Bal
timore to impose a gross earn
ings tax not to exceed l per
cent a year. The city needs
Sl3.750,000 to balance its budg-
ct for the fiscal year beginning
in January.
AS his second choice. the
Mayor recommended increased
liquor license fees, a city rec
ordation tax, and taX"5 on de-
posits in commercial banks,
savings banks and building and
loan associations.
Notably missing from that
group was one he proposed in
his first program, tax on al
coholic beverages which would
net about S4,280,000.
Obstacle Told
However, Mayor Grady said
In his letter to TaweS. I'VE
hope that a Stop-gap series Of
taxes will not be enacted to
take the place Of this earnings
tax"
The biggest obstacle to get
ting his tax program through
the Legislature is strong OPP
position in counties surround
ing Baltimore. People there who
earn their living in Baltimore
would be subject to the tax.
Voices Of diScord could also
be expected in the Assembly
from some members of the
city's legislative delegation.

This unceasing probing Of
industry-wide problems and
activities has had world
wide repercussions. The
Housing Center has become q

every visiting home builder
or housing student from an
overseas country. They not
only tour the center exhibits

an opportunity to discuss
private American housing
with top officials Of the Ma
tional Association of Home
Builders.
In special arrangements
made with the International

and the international Hous-
ing Service Of the Housing
and Finance Agency. the
Housing Center has been
placed on the regular agenda

nations, USSR. Yugoslavia
and Poland, have also sent

are usually chip on : the
shoulderish, declaring that
their housing is "just as

man team of Polish builders
visited the Housing Center
two years ago. one Of them
commented wistfully, l"You
Americans have all the latest
things-you might say you
have everything. I'm jealous"
In addition to hosting over
seas groups, Housing Center
staff also prepares itineraries
for them with local associ-
atoms Of the National Associ-
alton Of Home Builders. Thus,
in city after city. the NAHB
provides information on, and
flrst-hand contact with pr.
vate BODYBUILDING activities.
Many NAHB members have
visited other countries to
spread our housing knowledge
and techniques. Richard D.

and advised that country on
its housing problems. Other
