Government Controls Off
Time Payment Terms
WASHINGTON, (/P) — For the
first time in 20 months, the gov
ernment has given you free rein
to buy that car, television set,
or furniture on whatever terms
you can get.
The Federal Reserve Board
Wednesday suspended controls
over down payments and time
to-pay—on grounds that an easing
of inflationary pressure made the
controls no longer necessary.
Authorities on the Reserve
Board said actually they expect
the effects to' be slight.
Some trade circles, happy over
the suspension of controls, pre
dicted a boost in sales, which
have been lagging.
The government still will regu
late terms for real estate pur
chases—under Regulation “X”—
and officials said their is little
likelihood of a suspension in this
field.

Carpenters Silent
On WSB Offer To
Take Jurisdiction
ANCHORAGE, OP)— The AFL
Carpenters' strike continued in
the Anchorage area despite the
Wage Stabilization Board offer
Wednesday to take jurisdiction
in the wage increase dispute.
The WSB said it would under
take hearings on the dispute only
on condition -that the carpenters
returned to work first.
Associated General Contractors
officials hailed the WSB action
as substantiation of their claim
that the April 26 agreement be
tween AGC and the Alaska Coun
cil of Carpenters, to submit the
dispute to the WSB, was valid and
binding.
“In effect, the WSB decision to
accept jurisdiction constitutes gov
ernment recognition of the legal
ity of the agreement,” AGC offi
cials stated. “Otherwise, they
would not handle it.”
The AGC reported it replied
promptly to the WSB Wednesday
that it was prepared for confer
ences with the Construction In
dustry Stabilization Commission,
which the WSB designated as
the hearing panel.
The carpenters adopted a pol
icy of silence on the WSB wire.
Union officials also continued to
withhold comment on the five
million dollar damage suit the
contractors have announced they
would file against the union.
There was no completely shut
down project in the area up to
Wednesday night, but pickets
made their first appearance Wed
nesday at the Airport Heights
Goose Lake Housing Project,
known as Anchorage Home.
Meanwhile, a carpenters* meet
ing is scheduled tonight at Fair
banks for discussion of possible
strike action.
The carpenters are demanding
an* increase from the present $3.14
an hour to $3.70.
Toastmasters Present
Extemporaneous Progam
The Thursday evening meeting
of Toastmasters International was
held at the Board of Trade Fire
lite Room. President Adams had
designated the program as Sur
prise Night, and none of the mem
bers knew what to expect.
After the introduction of guests,
Fred Parsons acted as Table Top
ic Master and picked several men
at random to talk for one minute
on “Sewers for the Nome City
Streets” and “What Time Will
the Ice Melt?”
The main program was under
the direction of Larry Galvin, ap
pointed Toastmaster for the even
ing. He had lined up a debate:
“Congress Blamed for the Aban
donment of Nome as a Fighter
Base.”
Speaking for the affirmative
were two local citizens, Dan Jones
and Steve Anderson. For the neg
ative were Dick Corbett and Don
Culver of Nome Field. Jim von
der Heydt and Russ Arnett acted
as judges and at the conclusion
awarded the decision to the team
of Culver and Corbett.
