Talk in Presidents Suite
| The two had spent about Is
minutes together in Mr.. Ken
ndey's suite at Yosemite. but
there was no word of what
they discussed.
Brown said earlier he intend
ed to ask the President to re-
turn to California in the fall
to campaign for Democratic
candidates.
Both Mr.. Kennedy and Gov.
Brown. in their speeches at
the San Luis d-breaking
ceremonies, heavily empha-
sized that the project repre-
sents the first Federal-State
partnership on a major water
conservation project.
The State has agreed to put
up SIS per cent of the cost.
The reservoir will store water
to be delivered by acqueduct
as far south as San Diego.
The Federal Government will
service the bone-dry Western
side of the otherwise rich San |

Mr.. Kennedy called Califor-

would be the start Of other

Seek Comprehensive Plan
These United States sources
stressed that:
/. The United States still
would prefer a comprehensive
ban outlawing underground
explosions as well as those
above ground.
2. The United States will not
agree to an unpoliced morato-
rum on underground shots.
However, they said that be-
cause of the apparent impasse
developing at Geneva over
Soviet refusal to accept inside
Russia inspections, considera-
ton is being given to a partial
ban applying to shots in the
atmosphere. =
With Red refusal to negotiate
even on the Scaled-down inspec-
ton proposals advanced by the
United States early this month,
sentiment among the neutrals
at Geneva has been mounting
in favor of an atmospheric ban,
at least as an initial step.
The idea is that this would
bypass the central East-West
argument over on-site inspec-

3.2% Average Rise
The Government recently an
nounced that a survey of labor
contract changes affecting some
two million workers during the
first half of 1862 showed an
average pay rate increase of
80 per cent. Increases for build
ing and construction workers,
reported separately, tended
somewhat higher.
Although the statistical evil
dence is incomplete, without
adequate reporting for ex-
ample of fringe benefits, the
figures at hand indicate labor
unions on the whole are fudg-
ing a bit over the line of Mr..
Kennedy's formula-but not
very much.
This relative stability in la
Dor costs has been clouded by
the attention given to occa-
Sional whooping labor settle

new three-year building trades
contracts for raises of 10 or
80 cents an hour.
AS for prices, they remain
at the wholesale level at about
the same or a little less than
a year ago. Retail prices, as
measured by the Government S
living cost index, continue on a
gradual rise. This is due more
to higher charges for services
than to high costs for products.

ing experiment.
Whether they have been eff
fective. however, is doubtful.
Not too much is heard cur
rently about the guideposts,
leading to the suspicion here
abouts they are dead.
They are dead, at least. from
the standpoint of the widely
held belief that the Kennedy
administration was ready to
enforce them with public pres

That idea got around because
Of Mr.. Kenredy's power drive
in rolling back the steel price
increase.
The impression was errone-
GUS. Mr.. Kennedy said from the
start that the guides were mere
suggestions for proper eco
nomic behavior in the national
interest.
Based on Classic PreceptS
They were an attempt to per-
suade the men who set the
Nations key prices and wage
rates to make their decisions in

precepts rather than the ira

Basically the guides advised
that Wage-price changes as a
whole should be confined to the
steady gains in productive eff
flciency. or productivity. This
productivity improvement rate
was calculated at about 8 per
cent a year.
There was nothing new OF
particularly controversial about
this concept. 1t was, in fact, the

too specific. They contend that
if the Government starts fixing
rules. even vaguely, on how
much business and labor should
charge for their products and
services. the Government
should be in a position to en-
force those rules.
Otherwise it is too confusing.
Rules honored only by breach
are demoralizing.
Initiation Remains Curbed
Certainly initiation has re-
manned in check. Wage and
price increases by and large
have been moderate. But this
probably was due more to a
sluggish economy than to the
self-restraint doctrine preached
through Mr.. Kennedy'S guides.
Wage increase pressures are
relatively low in times of high
unemployment. just as prices
tend to be stable in periods of
indifferent consumer demand.
This is not to say that the
administrations advocation of
Wage-price moderation in the
National interest was without
result. 1t undoubtedly had some
steadying influence.
On the other hand, there
also is evidence the budapest
theories have distorted some
what the natural working OF
a free economy. Mediators re-
port the Kennedy formula has
stirred up a measure of labor
management conflict that
wasn't there before.

out. for example, that through
misunderstanding or deliberate
distortion of the guidepost
policies, some employers nor
mally able and willing to give
more than a 3 per cent wage
increase now contend that is
all the Government wants them
to pay.
Similarly, some labor unions,

Suit Claiming
Willie Mays. Brings
Quick Giant Action

San Francisco (ANP) - In an
attempt to force the San Francisco
Giants baseball club to satisfy a
judgement of $1,8SO.96, Melvin
Belli, an attorney, last week OBJ
tanned a court writ in which he
laid claim to part ownership of
the teams most important tangle
asset-Willie avs.
The unusual claim included
Mays, the highest paid player in
baseball at $4,000, and several
other Giants assets of much lesser
value. The other items included
bats, balls, gloves, uniforms and
bar whiskey.
The writ filed by Belli and APP
proved by the court was to force
the Giants to repay the $1,SS0.96
judgement ordered by a Municipal
Court last Jan. %. The Municipal
Court had ordered the Giants to
repay Belh $1,597 he spent for a
1860 season box at Candlestick
Park. The difference up to $780,
SO is believed to represent interest
on the $1,597.
Belli complained in the original
suit the Candlestick box was too
cold for him to use the tickets. He
contended also that an advertised
radiant heating system had failed
to work.
However, Belli said he got no
cooperation from the Giants until
he filed the writ, including the
services of Mays.
The Giants answered the writ by
posting a bond for $3,76O, double
the amount of the judgement and
won a stay of execution.
