Auto Workers Face Speedy Pay Controls

Considered for All Nonfarm Employees

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22. (UP) —Economic Stabilizer Alan Valentine promised fast action today on mandatory wage controls for more than 1 million automobile workers. r Another sweeping proposal in| the drafting stage would impose voluntary control over pay scales for all other nonfarm- workers, Their employers were put on their honor Tuesday to hold the price line. But the broader program appeared stymied, for the time being at least, by labor demands for more pay to meet the nm rising cost of living. Controls over meat prices were, under consideration. Mr, Valen-| tine told the Joint Congressional] Economic “Watchdog” Committee yesterday that timing of a meat price freeze, if it comes, will de-| pend on price trends and how)

No Baby's Game . A MAN CAME in to see me, a little. out of breath. He wasn’t excited, but he should have been. He was H. A. Ward, 2925 N. Delaware St., and he had been teaching his children to save their pennies, They had an account in a branch bank. And when he moved, he drew out their money and took it to a branch bank closer home. - He told me he'd taught them all about the importance of a bank, how it will save your money, or lend you money, and the ways in which it serves. » - - WHEN HE TOOK his children to the window of the branch the youngest who had only $3 saved up couldn’t understand when the teller said sharply, “We don’t accept accounts under $5.” That was pretty hard for Mr. Ward to explain, especially when the child said, leaving the bank, the $3 still in’ hand, “Wasn't our money any good, daddy?”

” YOU GET THE POINT. Here|'

was a family putting down the roots of thrift and bound the soil too hard for seedling ‘savings. I know the bank has its side, too. It costs money to buy bank books, hire tellers to put figures in little bank books, pay the lights, heat, taxes and other overhead.

I'd like to see what some of the other companies have done. This has been a year in which inventive genius has turned out many a refinement.

rumpus. about bus drivers’ wages I'll remember these figures. Wages are never what they ought to be in the eyes of the earner, but Indianapolis doesn’t rate so badly on the hourly basis if you take thé figures of the U. 8. Department of Labor. Hourly rates for bus drivers here are lower than Chicago but they are above Kansas City, Toledo and St. Louis.
