Price Plea Sparks Senate Grilling Of Auto Giants
Washington December 13 AP Two Republican senators Capehart of Indiana and Bricker of Ohio pressed Economic Stabilizer Alan Valentine to explain why Ford and General Motors faced requests to drop recent price hikes while steel price increases were not similarly challenged. They argued inconsistent treatment given wage rises in the steel sector and auto wage boosts. Valentine, DeSalle and others met with Ford GM officials to discuss price policy amid wage-price control questions and possible future government action. Bricker warned against vindictive action and urged evenhanded application if controls are justified.

Flier Saved by Batory Freed of Theft Charge
A 25-year-old pilot from Temple City California was acquitted of stealing a seaplane after Bergen County Judge Herman Vanderwart ruled the indictment named the wrong owner. He still faces a federal charge of transporting a stolen plane in foreign commerce but is freed in his own recognizance. The incident began when the pilot landed a rented seaplane beside the Polish liner Batory 100 miles at sea off New Jersey and was taken aboard to England.

Rail Walkout Hits Chicago Yard Service
In Chicago, yard operations at the Pennsylvania and Santa Fe railroads were sharply curtailed by a wildcat strike. About 200 Pennsylvania yard workers did not report for the early shift, potentially affecting 800 more. 20 of 100 Santa Fe workers also failed to show. The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen called it a wildcat, with an investigation promised. Passenger service aimed to continue, but yard crews were unavailable and road crews would fill in.
