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. National Bank
Statement Reveals
Record in Deposits
Another record-breaking set
of figures was shown by the
United States National bank In
Its statement of condition as of
September 24, on official call
by the federal comptroller of
currency. Deposits stood at the
all-time high of lfl0,888,l.10,
Jump of 13 Vi millions from
the amount on deposit Juno 30.
Total resources at the time of
the latest call were $202,844,
638.27, up (13.810,110.83, this
marking the first time in the
history of the bank that its total
resources exceeded two hundred
millions.
As pointed out by Paul S.
y Dick, president, the stimulation
,. at business, industry and agri
'. esilture was also reflected In the
"ain of loans from approximate
f 41Vi to 48V millions. "This,'
ld Dick, "indicates the In
creasing tempo of demand for
ormal purposes as well as for
'activities arising from the de
fense program."

F
Salem, Sept. 30. (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.
