Wage Ceilings as at Present Urged
Washington reports that the glass industry urged maintaining current wage ceilings while Roosevelt's labor advisory committee contemplates wage controls until after the November election. Sources say a revision or elimination of the Little Steel formula may be considered, with potential base-rate rises tied to reduced war production and shorter work weeks. Glass industry spokesman Leland Hazard argued workers hold greater spending power than in 1942 and prices have risen little since 1936. Prominent labor leaders, including Green, Murray, Tobin, Thomas, Emspak, and others, attended the White House conference debating the formula.

Will of Pallister Probate Upheld by Kansas Supreme Court
In Topeka on September 30 the Kansas Supreme Court affirmed distribution of B J Pallister's $30,000 estate under his will rather than the 1941 family agreement. Pallister of Sterling died June 14 1942 at 72 leaving more than half to his second wife Ina T Pallister. Five children from a previous marriage contested probate arguing the stepmother should receive only one sixth. The district court ruling by Lorin T Peters stood, prompting appeals by Mable Colle and others.
