Newspaper Page Textf AGE TWO MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1941. HELP CEIL WAGES ECCLES PROPOSAL Federal Reserve Head Says Centralization Of Labor Organizations Necessary. " Washington, Spt. 30. VP) Marrlner S. Ecclei, expressing fear that the government might be forced to "resort to the very yttem that we would like to gee defeated" In order to pre vent inflation, suggested Monday that a centralized labor organiza tion be created to work out with the government a nationwide chedule of "prevailing wages ' for the duration of the emerg ency. The chairman of the federal reserve board made the proposal to the house banking committee In response to a request by Chairman Steagall (D-Ala.) for a specific plan for controlling wages. Eccles had told the commit tee earlier that congress could not be realistic about controlling Inflation if it permitted wages and salaries to rise lndiscrtmln ately. He testified in favor of the administrations price control bill. - Centralisation Need ' Asserting that one of the dif ficulties in dealing with the la bor problem was the great de centralization of its own organ ization, Eccles said. . "I'm wondering if, in the In terest on labor, a greater cen tralization of labor organizations could be accomplished so that the government could work out with that agercy a schedule of prevailing wages which would be a base until there was Justi fication for a change. 'Today there Is no yardstick, bo pattern. The situation is more or less chaotic." U. S.

(IP) The state supreme court, reversing Probate Judge George Tazwell of Multnomah county, ruled to day that the estate of F'itz Braun, who died without a will in Salem four years ago, must go to his two brothers and two sisters in Germany. Tazwell had held that the estate should go to the state's irreducible school fund because the supposed heirs had not es tablished their claims, but Jus tice Bailey, who wrote today's unanimous decision, held that there was no evidence In lower court to show that the heirs were not genuine. Court attaches said, however, that it is doubtful that the heirs would receive the funds during the war, since German assets in this country have been frozen by the United States government.
