NOTE THE CALL FOR A FOUR-DAY WORK-WEEK
from Steel Workers President I. W. Abel. Congress isn't going to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act to cut the legal week from 40 to 32 hours any time soon, of course. But you will hear a lot more about this idea as time goes on. It fits in with the trend to affluence and leisure. Three-day holiday week-ends point the way.
INFLATION IS FINALLY STARTING TO WORRY GERMANY
the Western nation that has been immune to the virus for virtually all of the post-war period. The roaring business boom has begun to push up the cost of living-by 3-4% a year. Normally docile unions are demanding and getting-fat wage hikes. The steel and coal workers, for example, have just won packages worth 14%. Coal and steel prices will have to be raised to cover the added labor cost.
This trend is bound to help U.S. exports and the balance of payments, especially since tough measures have been taken to brake price rises here. The Germans have been slow to curb their boom -because, of recent elections, for one thing.

must be licked. On the surface, the GOP should do worse, with 24 governorships up for grabs, against 11 Democrats. Actually, Republicans may improve their 30-20 ratio. The Republicans have the better known and better vote-catching candidates. On the other hand, Democrats are split into warring factions in many states.
The Democrats' best hopes lie in Florida and Pennsylvania. But the GOP could gain in New Jersey, Virginia, and Kansas.
WASHINGTON IS BRACING FOR A NEW WAVE OF UNREST ON CAMPUSES
this fall, despite official efforts to "cool it" by troop withdrawals and draft cuts. Students and many on faculty still seem as frustrated as ever by the war. And small, vocal groups are dissatisfied with the degree of college reform.
