Truman makes his advice more specific by adding: "Wo need (during this touchy recon' version period) more of the good sense, the reasonableness, the consideration for the position of tho other fellow, the teamwork ' which wo had during the war." 'TWERE are many (on both aides) who want a FIRM iov. ernment wage-prico policy. That would mean necessarily MORE GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS probably PERMANENTLY.

The president, more serious, said that the matter of. a. possi ble second term had not entered his thoughts that he had been too busy on other things.

He cautioned labor against making too great demands on employ ers, but said industry generally could stand some pay increases out of profits to make up for loss of wartime earnings. "Light of Hope Many labor leaders hailed the address as. "a light of hope" for workers. Industry spokesmen generally withheld immediate comment while congressional re action was divided mostly along party lines. .The president's address came a few hours ' after - the house military committee had recom mended abolition of government strike vote procedure and urged that unions be . penalized for violating no-strike contracts.

WARD ' WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (P) Prealdent Truman, who last night advocated reaaonable wage increases without major price chongei. declined today to suggest a percentage by which he' thought wagea ahould be booated. He told a newa eonf erssse that the amount of Incrtaies would have to be determined in each individual case. That U why it haa to be done by collective bargaining, the president told reporters who questioned him about hia radio address last night in which ha laid down his postwar wage-price.'' policy. It calla for two things: A. Approval of reaaonable wage increase to avoid deflation, and unemployment. B. A hold-the-line attitude on prices, with lncreaaas to be allowed only where necasaary. The president told labor last night It can't have the same take-home pay It got during the war. There will have to be a drop, he said, and he warned workers against making too great demands upon employers. But he said industry general ly could stand some pay in creases out of profits. To those employers wanting higher ' prices before giving workers more pay for shorter hours to make up for loss in wartime earnings Mr. Tru man said price increases might be entertained in six months. And industries essential to conversion could ask price in creases now if they must have them to pay better wages to re cruit necessary manpower, - Vigorous Appeal t -' J In a vigorous broadcast ap peal for industrial peace and prosperity, Mr. Truman ; said labor needs higher pay rates with the changeover ii cm a 48 to a 40-hour work week, and industry can afford to go part way in making up this loss.. But he also amended his August 18 order relaxing con trols on wage increases to add three classes of pay boosts for which compensating . price in creases could be approved by the stabilization administrator. . These were: . 1. Cases where the percentage increase in average straight time hourly earnings since January 1941 did not equal the percent age increase in the cost of living between January 1941 and Sep tember 1945. ... 2. Instances where increases were necessary - to correct in equities in wage rates among plants in the same' industry or locality with due regard npr- 3. Situations in - which . in creases were necessary to insure full production in an industry designated by . the stabilization administrator as essential to re conversion, and in which exist ing wage rates are inadequate to attract needed manpower. Difficult Estimate , ; Government economists , say the number of workers who would benefit from adjustment of earnings to living costs is difficult to estimate. The cost of living rise since January 1941 was figured by the bureau of labor statistics at approximately 30 per cent in September. The average straight time hourly earnings increase it placed at. about 40 percent for that month. The three classes were not expected to affect the bulk of wage earners. The provision that employers could seek price ; relief six months after wage increases, Mr. Truman . said, "is something which I am sure will help in dustry get over this very diffi cult period of readjustment." . He said "industry will not be asked by the government to take an- unreasonable chance in ab sorbing such wage increases." "After a reasonable test period which, save in exceptional cases, will be six months, if the indus try has been unable to produce at a fair profit, the entire wage increase will be taken into ac (Contlnued on Page.Two) Portland Zoo To Replace 'George' PORTLAND, Oct.' 31 (flV Portland's zoo will at last get a blue-nosed baboon to replace George, children's pet mourned since his death in 1940.

It is understood that a $150 reward which Russell Reeck had offered to anyone finding his father, was refused by Ott. The elder Reeck said he soon realized last Sunday that he was lost. He had some matches which were damp but he managed to dry them out and by Monday had built a fire. He knew search ers would be looking for him and he stayed by his improvised camp until Ott arrived. At a late hour yesterday after noon, Hal Ogle of the Klamath Forest Protective association, ad vised that all members of the searching party had returned to a designated spot but Buster Ott, Reeck Found A short time later, Ott came to the cars with Reeck.
