SATUIMY, IIMIMIII tHI A I I INTIiUeiNCIt TNlll The Economy's Economists Bemoan Possible Inflation By GEORGE C. HAILAN A NEW YORK (UPI) the nation's ecmomy, which apparently has side-stepped crip- plinf auto strike, was in odds- on-favorite thii to extend Us vigorous expansion well into. IMS. But what was troubling many economists is the prospect that the economy cannot sustain its present pace without another flare-up of inflation. There is no question in the minds of most economists that coats rather than passing rt nf OB the labor agreement! hammered out between the United Auto Workers and Chrysler and Ford, the contracts have bent the wage-price guidelines laid down by the administration.

Defenders of the auto agreements say the terms accurately reflect the larger-than-average productivity gains by the industry. They are hopeful the industry will be able to absorb the Ufber car prices. BettletMtJa Special Case Others, however, argue that even if the auto settlements are viewed as a special Case, they make it increasingly difficult to wage and price restraint to other industries. Concern is centered on the pattern-setting steel industry which has May. 1965 strike deadline at the earliest.

While productivity in this bas- tc industry has improved it hat Of IHltrt industry. Some observers feel that a generous settlement in this industry undoubtedly would lead to higher prices and open the flood-gates to other price increases. At a one-day pow-wow of business economists this week the economy -vas given a generally round bill of health. Unanimity is not a professional trait of economists, but a sizable num ber at a National Industrial Con- ference Board meeting on the they expect business activity to roll along smartly through next year at the very least. They cited such buoyant factors as rising capital equpmcnt outlays and accelerating growth in the adult population.

Dissenters from this position. saw pressures building up within the economy that will generate an inflationary spiral followed by a recession. Under My Weird Music; Congo Sojourn ly LEOKAM MvdAIN Theoretical Question: TP HM wnai mussmanno wins; Dear Abby Light Rein For Teeners Vrjn DEAR ABBY: My mother died when I was eight months old and'I live with my father and my-grandmother. They are good to me and I love them very much but. Abby, I am almost 13 years old, am in the eighth grade and I have to go to school with my hair above my ears.

I am not allowed to wear the latest styles in clothes, either. 1 feel so funny in my old-fashioned clothes and this little girl haircut when all the other girls my age have new-style clothes and long hair. I am naturally on the quiet side and I don't make friends very easily, and looking like a freak makes matters worse. I am an honor student and I am not boy crazy. Will you please sayi i something in your column about how important it is for a 13-year- old girl to look and dress like other girls her age? My grandmoth- 1 and father never miss your column.

Maybe they listen to' you. HERE'S HOPING DEAR HOPING: If only adults would realize how humiliating it is for an adolescent to be "different." The wounds are deep and the emotional scars are sometimes lasting- I would not give the green light to wild conduct or immodest dress just because "all the other kids" are doing it. But when it conies to clothes, hair-dos and yes, even make-up, even though adults might not like the new fads, teen-agers should have more freedom to express themselves without fear of ridicule. If more parents applied their energies to their children's moral development, instead of raising the roof over a hair-do, or a style of dress that happens to be "in" at the moment, they could spare themselves and their youngsters much agony. DEAR ABBY: I would like your advice on a very important question which I cannot ask my mother about.

One night I went out with this boy and we went a liltie too far. Ever since then he has been calling me up and asking me out for the same reason. I would like to know how I can prove to this boy that I'm not the kind of girl he thinks I am. NOT THAT KNID DEAR NOT: It won't he easy to "prove" to a boy that you aren't the kind of girl who goes "a little too far'' after you've already been there. Yonr only hope is to tell him emphatically that you both misbehaved before and you do not intend to repeat it.

So If that's the reason he is pursuing you, he can forget it. DEAR ABBY: My parents were divorced two years ago. Six months ago my father remarried. I am 14 and I live with my mother hnf my father and hi; new invite me to visit them on their farm every week-end. I love my mother and I love my father, loo, and I also think a lot of my father's new wife because she has been very nice to me.

But 1 feel like a traitor every time I go to it them because my mother says it tears her apart I go there. My mother asked me if I would go to spend the week-end with my father and his wife if they lived in a little apartment like she does. I guess I wouldn't. Do you think I am wrong to go to the farm on week-ends? How can I get over feeling like a traitor? TRAITOR DEAR TRAITOR: I wouldn't label you a "traitor" for visiting your father. Your mother may have her reasons for feeling bitter, but these reasons have nothing to do with you, so don't take sides.

Yl I I Jl I ii i Dp you know what a theremin is? It's the weirdest musical instrument you ever heard of and is played without being touched. It was invented in the twenties. A friend of mine, who lived near me on Park Avenue in New York when I still lived tnere, plays the little-known electronic instrument, merely by waving his hands over it. He is Lennington Heppe Shewell, now a stockbroker in Philadelphia, who lives on a magnificent estate. "Timber Rock," along Windy Bush Road outside New Hope.

Paul Whiteman. the famed orchestra leader, is Shewell's next door neighbor. "Lennie" mailed me a note a few days ago to tell me the September Coronet magazine published an article about the theremin. The article nat- i i iiiciuue i pert player of the instrument. Shewell claims the instrument was invented in the 1920's by a chap named Leon Theremin who was known at that time as the "Russian Edison."

After Shewell mastered the theremin in his late teens he was hired by the Radio Corporation of America at $300 a week, plus expenses to make a nationwide tour, playing the instrument in radio stations, theaters and music stores. Shewell gave theremin lessons to Philadelphia millionaires Atwater Kent and J. Howard Pew, who had purchased the expensive instrument. Rudy Vallee had a left handed instrument built for himself.

He played it oil his radio show in. the 1920's. Shewell has told me how Ramon Xavarro was the first film star to buy and learn to play the theremin. Other stars who purchased instruments were Charlie Chaplin, Ruth Chatterton, Bebe Daniels and Ben Lyon. A Hatboro missionary, his wife and two children have arrived back in the borough after their third evacuation from the African Congo.

Dr. Harry W. Wilcke, 39. of 218 North Penn Hatboro was telling me yesterday of some of his experiences in the Congo, where he went in 1957. He and Mrs.

Wilcke journeyed to Africa as missionaries with the Africa Inland Mission, headquarters of which are in Brooklyn, N.Y. The Wt Hatboro in August of 19ofi for Belgium, where they spent one year studying a tropical medical course, before going to the Congo where they have served for four and one-half years. Their son. Keith, now seven years old was born in Belgium. A daughter, Karen, 10, was born in Hatboro.

The family arrived back in Hatboro last Sunday after an air trip from the Entebbe airport near Uganda, in central Africa. They were evacuated from the Congo on August 30. Dr. Wilcke is the son of Mr. and Mrs.

Harry W. Wilcke of Hatboro. Mr. Wilcke is a retired plumbing and building inspector of the Borough. Even though the final days of the Wilckes' sojourn in the Congo were not so pleasant.

Dn Wilcke said he has had some fine experiences with Africans. When Dr. Wilcke took his wife and children over the border he said the Congolese rebels "were just a few miles from us." They just moved out ahead of the rebel forces, the group fighting against the central government. Dr. Wilcke said they were able to drive their automobile out of the Congo, i also luuuiii.

some of their clothing with them, but all their household goods were left behind. "Our plaris now are indefinite. We are just enjoying ourselves at home at the moment." Dr. Wilcke said. "Under normal conditions, we would like to return." The two previous times the Wilckes' were evacuated from the Congo were in July of 1960 and January of 1961.

He said those two disturbances had no outside influence. They were disturbances within the country itself, he explained. The court has given no indication when a decision on the matter will be made. in the Communitv Center. U.S.
