cisions in other basic indus
ries, as it did in steel.
Commerce Secretary Hodges,
explaining administration pol
Icy as a news conference yes
serday, said aluminium would
be the kind of industry where
Government Intervention might
be necessary to discourage in
slationary wage settlements and
price increases.
He added, however, that
there has been no discussion in
the administration about inter-
Vening in aluminium. Labor
negotiations in aluminium are
expected to start soon.
Government intervention and
guidance will be strictly limited,
Mr.. Hodges said, emphasizing
hat the administration docs
not intend to get into each set
tlement and each detail"
Administration policy, he
said, calls for Intervention
only in basic" industries, and
only where competition is not
strong enough to curb excesSeS.
Self-restraint by labor and
management is the best way
to handle the problem of wage
and price stability. Mr.. Hodges
said.

partment survey of the econ

in pretty good shape" The
survey says, Economic activ-
ity in March quickened, and
with few exceptions the gains
were better than seasonal"

weak spot" and the rise of
industrial production is slow,
the survey said.
