Slight Boost In Consumer Prices Likely By WILLIAM P- GRUBER United Press International Steel users said today selective price increases by the nation’s . steel producers are likely to pinch , family pocketbooks—a little. One industry expert said most ’ Americans wouldn’t notice it un- ■ less they were told. , Retail prices might edge slightly upward, industry observers said in a United Press International survey. But the cost to consumers was . expected to be far below what it . would have been had steel pro- , ducers maintained their across- , the-board price increases one year ago. William Carftpbell, editor of , Steel magazine, predicted “modest price increases,” but said competition would be a sufficient damper to prevent drastic retail ’ price boosts. “I don’t think there will be a ’ great impact on the average con- ’ sumer,” Campbell said. “If the ’ average American were not made ' aware of this I don't think he 1 would know what was happening.” A Kansas City hardware execu- [ tive said retail prices of “a pair of roller skates or a toaster” would go up only a few cents. Detroit automotive sources pre- ' dieted price tags on 1964 model cars would be boosted about 2 per cent. They said prices of 1963 • models would not be affected. In contrast, an appliance industry spokesman said the current round of steel price increases “will begin a price-wage spiral which will be reflected in the cost of all industries using steel.” Ross C. Siragusa, board chairman of Admiral Corp., said the appliance industry cannot absorb such cost increases and predicted “higher price tags on major ap. pliances.” “They (the steel firms) call the prices selective,” said Jack Meany, general manager of Thermador, an electric appliance manufacturer. “But they have selected one that affects appliances.” Society Mrs. Edgar Ben Dyer, 510 Cleveland St., local representative for Studio Girl cosmetics of Hollywood. was this week notified of her promotion to area meeting leader. In her new capacity, Mrs. Dyer will give special lectures and training in the art of skin care, hair care and makeup before local civic and social groups. She will be appointing and training three local women as beauty advisors in the company's planned expansion program. Mrs. Dyer is active in many civic groups. The Eta Tau Sigma sorority will meet Tuesday, at 8 p.m., in the Preble restaurant. The hostess will be Miss Iveraa Weriing. The Root township home demonstration club will meet with Mrs. Royal Friend, Tuesday at 1 p.m.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Forced To Choose Between Wife, Union By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — The National Labor Relations Board, as its name implies, handles cases involving labor relations. Rarely does it touch on matters involving domestic relations. This is what makes NLRB case No. 17-CA-2068 rather exceptional. It involves an unfair labor practices complaint against a man who apparently had to choose between the union and his wife. I don’t believe in keeping my readers in suspense, so I will tell you right off that he chose his wife. Thus did love prove a stronger force than collective bargaining. ' But the ending is not entirely a happy one, at least not thus far. An NLRB trial examiner, unmoved by the romantic implications of the case, recommended in favor of the union. Electric Contractor The husband who had to make the odd choice was identified on the examiner’s report as Sheldon V. Utley, a Springfield, Mo., electric contractor doing business as the Central States Electric Co. He was alleged to have violated the National Labor Relations Act by firing four employes who were members of the international Brotherhood of Electrical "Workers and refusing to bargain with the IBEW. According to trial examiner C. W. Whittemore, testimony indicated that Utley acted “under a motivating circumstance not often revealed in board proceedings.” “It appears,” he wrote, “that Sheldon Utley chose to divorce himself for further contractual relationship with the IBEW rather than submit to marital divorcement proceedings.” Chooses Wife Utley was quoted as informing Jack Moore, an IBEW business representative, that he could no longer continue his contract with the union because he “had to go non-union or lose his wife.” When Moore urged reconsideration, Utley was said to have replied that he “had no choice, it was either go non-union or have a divorce and he would prefer going non-union ” To me it would seem that Utley made the logical decision. I have never seen Mrs. Utley but I'll wager she is a lot mqre attractive than any labor union. Whittemore, however, felt bound, to recommend that the board fina against him. “However sympathetic one may be with Utley, caught as he may have been in the unpeaceful middle between his wife and his union," this was not valid grounds for cancelling the contract, he wrote. If the NLRB upholds the examiner, I guess you could call it a case of love losing to labor, or maybe love’s labor lost. Valparaiso Market Destroyed By Fire VALPARAISO, Ind. (UPD—Fire of undetermined origin destroyed Miller’s Open Air Market early today and authorities set the loss at least at SIOO,OOO. The blaze began before dawn and spread quickly to the entire supermarket. All available fire units were rushed to the scene, but police said nothing was saved.

New Soviet Charges Os Espionage Likely MOSCOW (UPI) — The snowballing espionage case of a British businessman will bring new Soviet spy charges against Ameri-1 cans in Russia. Western observ- : ers predicted today. The Russians showed all signs of building the case into a show trial comparable to that of American U2' pilot Francis Gary Powers. No trial date was set. The accused Briton is Greville Wynne, 42, a London businessman. Also involved in the case is a Russian official, Oleg V. Penkovsky, formerly with the state committee for coordination of research. Indictments announced Wednesday night said the two men are charged with being members of a Western spy ring that received Soviet scientific and military secrets. Both face possible death sentences if convicted. Powers was convicted of espionage for flying his reconnaissance plane over the Soviet Union May 1, 1960. He was _given a 10-year sentence, but subsequently was exchanged in February, 1962, for Soviet spy Col. Rudolph Abel. There is no legal appeal of a death sentence in the Soviet Union, and the only chance for clemency is a request to the ruling presidium. Western observers said preparations for the trial indicated there would be new charges and attacks against present and former U.S. Embassy personnel. Emergency Board Continuing Talks CHICAGO (UPI) — A presidential emergency board continued exploratory talks today in the drawn-out rail industry “featherbedding” controversy that could lead to a nationwide strike. The board met with officials of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen Wednesday and scheduled more separate meetings with parties in the dispute through at least Friday. Judge Samuel I. Rosenman, chairman, said the board would call the two sides into joint meetings again “only when we feel it would produce useful results.” Another board member, Nathan Feinsinger, said the board was operating on the premise “that nothing is agreed upon until everything is agreed upon.” He said there was gene ra 1 agreement among the parties that the only way for the board to start was with a series of exploratory talks. Feinsinger also met with officials of the National Railway Labor Conference, chief bargaining unit for the 195 Class I railroads in the nation, and with attorneys for the five on-train brotherhoods-
