Eight others ‘ 1 surrendered Wednesday, including' ‘ Charles J. Renard, 67; Fred De- ’ boer, 45; J. Wallace Copeland, 50; ' Walter J Nolte, 40; Thomas D. Graves, 59; Wayne McGuire, 43. and Maxwell Herrell, 65. all of t ; Indianapolis, and Harry Herrell, • 57, Noblesville, brother of Max- > well Herrell. Martin was released on his own : recognizance pending the posting j . of bond later today. . ’ The defendants will be'arraign-, ed March 28 before Federal Judge! , William E.

He said there may be ; lower prices for appliances in ; , don't see much change on' the down side.'' Clague said about; the price outlook. “My concern is —will it stay level or be pushed up by food?” • Prices Up, Income Down He said farm economics differ from industrial economics and that people continue buying food while delaying purchase of cars or other hard goods. The oddity is that prices of food and consumer goods and services —the three elements that make up the cost of living index—rose last month in the midst of-a recession. They went up at the .same time that retail sales, income, industrial production and employment were declining. Government economists had an explanation. They made three points: —That w>st of the February increase in living costs resulted from higher food prices brought on by short supplies of livestock sent to market and by new winter ; freezes that damaged crops se-; verely. They pointed out that food i costs bear 'little relation to what has been mainly a manufacturing recession. ■ Index Lags , —That the cost of living index almost always lags behind other indicators of economic conditions and can be expected to start declining in the months ahead. „ —That despite the recession widespread buyer resistance apparently has not yet developed. AFL-CIO economists add to this a charge that big corporations are “rigging" their prices to suit themselves and not letting supply and demand work to bring them down. > Living costs have been rising to new highs or remaining unchanged for the past 18 months. The last time a decline was re- . ported was in August. 1956. To be able, to disagree without being disagreeable is one secret • of a pleasing personality.
