State room 1802. Making the request for a deluge of mail to the aldermen will be Mrs. Alice Schuringa, 6632 Lowe president of Citizens' Committee Against Fluoridation, sponsors of the 8 p.m. meeting. Flouridation of i a drinking water to reduce tooth decay in young people was recommended to the health commit- Monday in a report signed by a five-man health sub-committee headed by Aid.

Alfred Cilella (35th). Members of the sub-committee, which considered the fluoridation plan for more than two years, are Aid. David McKiernan (19th), Aid. David Muir (6th), Aid. Daniel Ronan (30th), and Aid.

Joseph Immel (41st). Officials estimate it would cost $613,000 annually, or 14.8 cents per capita, to fluoridate the city's water. The possible cost, coupled with other opposition to the scheme, makes it likely that a final decision by the City council will be delayed for some time. Mrs. Schuringa and her associates contend fluorides have certain harmful effects on the aody, do not prevent dental decay, that the chemical is poisonous, long-term experiments have not been conducted and that fluoridation is a i a i i measure.

Proponents a i a i the chemical does reduce tooth decay and is not poisonous when taken in the quantity injected in drinking water by a number of communities throughout the country. Mrs. Schuringa said" that as the result of a half-hour appearance she made on Jack Eigen's radio show earlier this month, she has received mail from many persons in the 38- state network carrying the program. Christ Artus, 4248 W. 63rd is treasurer of the anti-fluoridation committee.

Along with the fluoridation report, the full health committee at its meeting Monday will consider two amendments to the new a i innoculation ordinance drafted by Alderman McKiernan. Although the ordinance became effective last Wednesday, Alderman McKiernan agreed to the amendments at a hearing held Friday. One amendment would reduce the period a biting dog must be kept under observation in a dog pound from 15 to 10 days. The second would require that owners prove their dogs have been innoculateci against rabies within a year prior to the issuance of a new dog license. As originally enacted, a six months innoculation period is specified.

At the City council meeting Wednesday, McKiernan proposed certain changes to facilitate the administration of the new law. The next dog licensing period starts April 30.

Lcavitt Hilltop ft-1371 or Bus Proposal To Be Studied By Improvers Transportation needs of the Normal Park and Hamilton Park areas will be discussed by members of the Englewood Civic association at a meeting at 8 p.m.

Tuesday in the Rowan Trees hotel, 500 W. Englewood according to Robert List, president of the group. Whether the association will reverse its position of opposition to the extension of the 71st st. bus line to serve the neighborhood over S. Stewart S.

Normal blvd. and Marquette rd. will depend on the sentiment of the membership, List said. The petition of the association to have shuttle bus service to the Harvard ave. station of the elevated lines was recently turned down by the Chicago Transit Authority for the reason that it would be a losing venture, in the opinion of CTA engineers.

In a letter to the Englewood Civic Association, Walter J. McCarter, general manager of CTA, said that acting on the recommendation of their engineers the board could not accede to the request for shuttle buses in the area. He left the door open, however, for extension of an existing bus line to Normal Park and Hamilton Park, which was the proposition rejected by the association. "The "existing bus line" is said by List to the 71st st. line, which the CTA originally planned to extend to Normal Park and Hamilton park.

Need for bus service in the residential district from 63rd to 69th st. between S. Harvard ave. and S. Parnell arose out of the discontinuance of service on the Normal Park branch, of the "El" on January 29.

Affected patrons of the Rapid Transit lines now walk to the Harvard ave. or Halsted st. stations. President List would make no attempt to forecast what the attitude of the Englewood Civic Association will be on the question of accepting the CTA proposal for the extension of the 7lst st. bus line or going without bus service.

Guest speaker at the meeting will be L. E. Whitney, head of the Whitney company, an industrial traffic service, and an attorney, who will discuss how the United Nations affects every citizen of the United States. In a letter to members President List said that Mr. and Mrs.

Whitney awarded the George Washington Honor medal for "American Patriots Speak" by the Freedom Foundation at Valley Forge.

Economist Photo by Charles Syzdak See National Standard of Council Body, Living Doubled by 1975 By Shelia Wolfe Economist Staff Writer America's economy is sound today and will continue to expand in the future, 1,000 businessmen attending the University of Chicago's second annual management conference were told Saturday. Highlights of the conference were statements that: 1--The national standard of living may be almost double by 1975. 2--Capital can be obtained in adequate amounts at reasonable interest rates comparable to last year by sound business ventures. 3--Personal savings continue at the high levels that existed in recent years. 4--The amount of employment is almost the highest in history.

According to Joseph B. Spang president of the Gillette company, only a "lackadaisical or complacent attitude can prevent America from taking full advantage of its opportunities for future growth." "National weallh is at the lighest level in history and should 25 per cent by 1960 and 90 per cent by 1975," Spang said. Despite talk about a recession, he added, the level of employment is within three per cent of the" best year in history. By 1960, 58 million will in the labor force, and by 1975, 87 to 89 million will be working, he said. In January through March year, employment has averaged 60 million a month, the executive stated.

Predictions that the Federal Reserve will keep credit easy and interest rates relatively low were made by R. B. Patrick, financial vice-president of Bankers Life company. Patrick said that while the tederal 'treasury probably will borrow as much as $3,000,000,000 from banks, this will be done so as not to impair an adequate flow, of capital to the money market. In spite of the decline in business activityV and some unemployment, present indications are that the rate of personal savings being maintained by a reduction in spending, Patrick asserted.

This will insure a supply of capital equal to 1953, he said. Another speaker at the conference, Or. Franz Alexander, director of the Institute for Psychoanalysis, emphasized the emotional stress involved in management leadership. "The selection of executives on intellectual aptitude alone is not sufficient," he said. "The emotional balance, the whole personality and the person's capacity to carry the emotional load must be considered." Irving B.

Harris, chairman of the board of Science Research Associates, pointed out that middle management executives need to receive assurances that the company president would like to have theVn succeed. "A middle management executive is ambitious and he looks forward to a successful business career, preferably with his present company, Harris said. "He. worries about readying himself for an opportunity at a bigger job."

CTA Head to Discuss Boost One day before the expected approval of fare increases by the Chicago Transit authority, board chairman Ralph Budd will' meet with the City council transportation committee as demanded by Aid. Nicholas Bohling (7th). The meeting will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday in City hall. On Wednesday, the CTA board at a 9 a.m.

session will act to solve its present financial dilemma by boosting fares on the surface, L-subway and suburban lines. Alderman Bohling, who feels the transit authority is "'top heavy with payroll and guilty of some very poor management, had introduced a resolution in the City council April 7 specifying that full and complete public hearings on CTA's efficiency, and operations be held before further fare hikes are instituted. The transportation committee meeting Tuesday is an outgrowth of Bohling's resolution. Since the CTA is an autonomous body, however, it can ignore the sentiments of the council or any other public agency. In his i Bohling pointed out that while fares have doubled since CTA began operating in October, 1947, annual passengers have declined by approximately 450,000,000.

He predicted that additional increases would result in the loss of more riders. Bohling said one of the questions he will ask Budd Tuesday is why seven fare hikes have been necessary when 5,000 em- ployes have been laid off and overtime has been curtailed. He also will cite executive salaries of $350,000, which is "out of line with comparable private companies," Bohling said. The seventh ward alderman asserted he will confront Budd with a statement by trustees far CTA bondholders that the authority's midget as adopted January 1, without any reference to fare increases, indicated some economies must be put into effect. A flat 20-cent fare, in place of 17 and 18-cent.

tokens, along with an increase in suburban rates from 25 to 30 cents, would produce at least $3,476,000 extra income toward an anticipated CTA deficit this year of $5,545,000, according to CTA engineers. a i Fill Places Of Worship By Jody Rowan Economist Staff Writer Easter, greatest of all Christian feasts, and the first Passover, religious holiday of. the Jewish people, are being celebrated together today for only the ninth time in two centuries, as members of all denominations throughout Southtown, Beverly Hills and the suburbs join in praise of God. Elaborate sunrise services, some of them outdoors, were staged this i by community groups. Midnight Masses were said in several local Catholic churches morning.

Easter observances will continue throughout the day at local churches with appropriate sermon topics, cantatas, musical presentations, Communion and vesper services and plays. Easter is commemorated by Christians as the day on which Christ arose from the dead to redeem mankind. The Bible story concerning Easter tells, of two women who and found the stone rolled back and the door 6f the sepulchre open. Inside they saw a man, clothed with a white robe, who told them that Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified had risen from the dead. The Christian Easter and the Jewish Passover are closely knit feasts because Christ died on Passover day almost 2,000 years ago.

The has been celebrated by Jewish people for more than 3,000 years. In some countries, the name of Easter is still called Pasch or a derivative of the word. Jewish homes and congrega- tibns in Southtown last night were the scenes of the first Seder festival with the second Seder being scheduled for tonight. The Passover was begun to commemorate the deliverance of the people of Israel the night sefore their departure from Sgypt, when the firstborn children of the Egyptians were killed, but the children of the Israelites were saved. Moses had announced that each Hebrew family, at the command of God, was to slay a young lamb and sprinkle its blood on the frame of.

the door. In the evening the lamb was be roasted and was to be eaten with unleavened bread and bit- herbs by all members of the family. This rite was to be repeated every year on the night of the feast and is still done oday. At the Seder dinners on the first and second night of Paf- over, the head of the family officiates at the ceremony reciting he Kiddush and the blessings, explaining the significance of the arious foods on the table as the members of the family taste each dish. A roasted lamb bone rep- the paschal lamb, sacri- iced at the Spring season; horse- adish roots indicate the bitter- less of life under bondage; hard soiled eggs with parsley, ground nuts and apples are reminders if their tears shed and the mortar aid when the Hebrews were laves under the Pharaohs.

One of the children, usually the youngest, reads the traditional lagaddah. Four cups of wine are tradi- ional in the ceremony and an xtra cup is filled and the door eft open for Elijah the Prophet. A special television program of nterest to both Christians and ews will present an explanation infl demonstration of a Passover Seder by the Anti-Defamation eague of B'nai B'rith at 7 p.m. Thursday on channel 7.
