The nation’s major appliance manufacturers have tentatively indicated they will refrain from passing on to retail buyers the increased costs of steel. Although some manufacturers believe the consumer must eventually feel the price rise, most of them are hesitant to increase prices at present. Gea New Medic Takes Up Staff Duties Capt.

Because steel had been short, some appliance manufacturers have had to buy and use some premium steel in recent years rather than wait for lower. grade steel. This naturally increased production costs.

It is hoped that, on his return, he will be able to! give the President, and top State Department officials, information and advice on future relations with South America. It is somethTng of a tragedy that a decline in U. S.| fortunes has set in in South America since the “Good! Neighbor” policy initiated by Cordell Hull and President Roosevelt in the 19380’s. It will be remembered that most of South America rallied quickly to the defense of the United States when this country became involved in World War Il. From a geographical standpoint, South American friendship and alliance is as important to the United States as that of any other continent. Diplomats; and journalists writing from the South American contin- ent have repeatedly warned, in recent months, that U. s.| prestige and friendship were declining in that area. | If Dr. Eisenhower can accompiish something in the) way of checking this decline, his mission will be well) warranted. There is little doubt of his talents and no one knows bettter than the President that he isa man well qualified to succeed in his efforts.
