Candidates Hurt By Right-To-Work Law Campaigns New York-OJD-The Demo cratic and Republican Party chairmen areed today Repub lican candidates were badly hurt in the 1958 elections by campaigns for state "right-to- work" laws. GOP National Chairman Meade Alcorn and Democratic Chairman Paul M. Butler agreed on this finding in otherwise differing interpre tations of the Democratic vie tory in the Nov. 4 voting. They discussed the elections in speeches prepared for the anftual Congress of Industry of the National Association of Manufacturers, one of the principal business organiza tions backing right-to-work laws to outlaw union shop contracts. Mad Progress Alcorn said the GOP had made much progress in win ning rank-and-file labor sup port and shedding the "anti labor" and "big business" la bel pinned on it by Demo crats. But this year, he said, "the big business versus or ganized labor image" was re vived for most wage-earners when the right-to-work propo sition was placed on the bal lot in six states and injected into legislative debates in others. Butler said the right-to-work issue "proved the final undoing of the Republican Party in several large indus trial states." From the Demo cratic viewpoint, he said, putting the proposition on the ballot appeared to guarantee Democratic success. Otherwise he called the election "a ringing repudia tion of the Eisenhower ad ministration," a vote of confi dence in Democrats and a mandate for "liberal and pro gressive" action.

Inflation Problem Expected To Lose Some Bite in 1959 New York -4UPD- Infla tion, termed by many econo mists the most serious prob lem of the next 10 years, may lose some of its bite in 1959. Leading economists say a number of anti-inflationary forces are present in the econ omy to head off any serious upward price spiral naxt Brynner Takes Over Film Role Madrid -d'PD-Yul Brynner stepped into the costume of the late Tyrone Power today and went out to fight a movie battle against the armies of Egypt and a .real-life battle against the forces of supersti tion. The brawny film star, his bald head capped with a lux uriant wig, was certain to win the first fight-it's in - the script. He said he was going to win the second as well and bring to a triumphant con clusion the Biblical epic for which Power gave his life. Today was Brynner's first appearance on the set of "Sol omon and Sheba" outside of a brief visit Monday to chat with co-star Gina Lollobrigi- da. By chance then he walked by the spot where Power fell dying of a heart attack after a duelling scene 17 days ago. "I am very cognizant of the superstitions involved," he said. "I will do my best to dispel them." In five furious days packed with behind-the-scenes drama, the dynamic star has gone a lone way toward convincing extras and technicians that the film, 70 per cent com pleted when Power died, bears no hard-luck taint. year. The general feeling among economists interviewed by United Press International is that the cost-of-living index will show only a slight change in 1959. They list among the factors working against inflation a more adequate supply of goods of all kinds, an in- STILL LOOKING London - (UPD - The Mar quess of Northampton, 73, whose family motto is "I seek but one," took Lady Elspeth Teynham as his wife here Tuesday. competition for the consum er's dollar, the Federal Re serve Board's tight money policy and a stubborn unem- crease in productivity, keen ployment problem which may moderate labor demands. Fears Not Warranted . Taking all these factors into consideration, Dr. Mar cus Nadler, consulting econ omist to the Hanover Bank, concluded that "fears of in flation are not warranted." Economist A. W.-Zelomek, a visiting professor at Virgini. University's Graduate School of Business, said increased productivity, resulting from automation and other cost cutting moves by industry, "will offset increases in labor costs, making them less inflationary."

The board said Jarrett shares a one-family house with 20 tenants from whom he receives $510 a month in rent.

At the same time, he said, income after taxes will rise between 5 and 6 per cent, leaving the average family better off from the standpoint of purchasing power. Average Family Better Off "Despite the rise in prices that has taken place since 1939 mostly during the war years," ZelomeK said, "t h e average family today is 39 per cent better off than it was then."
