Attacks Threat Os New Wage Increases Chicago, Feb. 18 -r- There should not be another round of wage increases this year, Lemuel, R. Boulware, vice* president for employe relations, General Electric company, said last night. Mr. Boulware was the principal speaker at the annual ■ personnel conference of the American management association. He attacked the threat of a third round of wage increases as inflationary, declaring that the “two previous trials at raising the standard of living through this dog-chasing-its-tail type of economic expedient” had failed disastrously for all concerjrei, texcept perhaps the farmer. Mr. Boulware pointed out that polls “showed 53 percent, of the I public and 39 percent c.f union I members opposed to another round even before the break in the commodity, livestock, retail, and wholesale prices.” — — o— — Trade In a Good Town — Decatur I ——....

Cancer Society To Conduct Contest Script Writing Contest Planned The inatana cancer society will again sponsor a radio script writing contest for high school students with broadcast over the state’s air lanes as the reward for the four winning entries. This is the second year the cancer organization has staged the contest, according to Roy Kalver, Adams county chairman. Ben H. Watt, state superintendent of public instruction, approved the contest in letters to heads of high schools throughout the state. He termed it valuable both for educational purposes and for practical experience in the comparatively new field of radio writing. Indianapolis radio stations will cooperate with the cancer group to present the winning scripts over the air during the society’s April drive for funds to fight can-

WHAT’S HELPING YOU CONQUER INFLATION? WHAT PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE? WHAT STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE? I Some notable progress has already been made. Promise of the opportunity for still more progress comes from the drop in commodity prices. But we can't depend on commodity markets — or on anything else —to do the job for us!

Friday and Republican leaders are hopeful for early passage of a bill extending controls for 14 months. However, they acknowledged that they may have to settle for a temporary extension.
