LEADER Feb. 12, 1973 19 Daily Record Wall and Main Streets Business Corner For complete stock market details, read The Daily News, regularly. -The Business MirrorNobody Enjoys Devaluation ion valued currency means, in effect, that a country's exports are sold inexpensively, and that imports are expensive. Revaluation suggested, as some view the situation, cause of inflation in Germany and Japan, partially as a result of all that money coming into those countries in payment for exports. When an economy is inflated the government must seek restraint.

An upward valuation serves that purpose because it raises the price of exports, mak-7 ing them competitive abroad.

An under- However, no country really enjoys either course. A devaluation, though it might help a nation competitively, is a blow to prestige and confidence. A revaluation is even more unwelcome because it restrains a nation's economy.

In the present upheaval, the yen and mark are considered strong, the dollar weak, in relation to each other and some related currencies. Germany's economy is viewed as strong. Unemployment is almost nonexistent. Exports exceed imports, thus giving a balance of payments surplus. Reflecting this, the mark is considered safe and highly desirable as an investment.

On the other hand, the German economy has problems. There is evidence of overexpansion, as indicated by a rise in the inflation rate from 2 per cent in 1968-1970 to nearly triple that now. results. Japan also is running a huge surplus of exports over imports. Its economy is growing fastest of all the large industrial nations.

It is export-minded, sometimes at the expense of domestic needs. It tries to restrict imports. But Japan too has inflation, although that is an old story there. Still, it that restraint is in order. The American economy is much stronger than two years ago.

Output is growing, unem- For obvious reasons, nations decline to revalue unless confronted with an absence of options. To devalue is to deny one's own economy while rewarding that of others, who then can export for relatively less. Each nation prefers the other to make the move, but that may not always be possible. Market forces sometimes dictate the decision governments shrink from making. It goes this way: Major trading nations agree to maintain currency ratios set among them.

This is affected through each nation's central bank, which pledges to buy and sell currencies when necessary to maintain parities. However, if a central bank is inundated, as the Germans were with dollars, it might be forced to recognize what the market is saying that a revaluation or a new set of ratios are required. -Sylvia PorterBenefits Eyed NEW YORK This year, jor union contracts covering 4,700,000 workers almost 2 million more than in 1972 are being renegotiated and the only cash question in most cases will be the size of the money raise the workers will get. This year, 4,900,000 workers under contracts already in force will get deferred wage hikes averaging about 24 cents per hour. That's 1,800,000 fewer deferred pay increases than last year, but it still works out to a huge amount of money.

And this year, 4,300,000 workers will get automatic cost of living wage increases under escalator clauses. That's more than double the number with escalator protection in the mid 1960s. Despite this clear evidence of worker concentration on cash, the key trends in union contracts negotiated in Phase II are likely to be increases in fringe benefits and improvements in working conditions the same major trends as in Phase II. There are some of the bargaining goals that'll emerge as the giant unions put their demands on the table. JOB AND INCOME SECUR- I ITY: The -trend continues toward salaries rather than wages, or toward a guaranteed minimum number of working hours each year.

Subcontracting practices also are getting increased union attention as multinational corporations spread and encourage U.S. businessmen to hire lower paid workers abroad. JOB SATISFACTION OR ENRICHMENT: Unions have become actuely aware of the alienation and dissatisfaction among workers of all ages, white as well as blue collar. Among union proposals: increase worker mobility between jobs in a plant, change job responsibilities from time to time, redesign certain jobs to fit workers' skills and limitations (e.g., for elderly workers), increase the scope and variety of jobs. SHORTER WORKING HOURS, LONGER TIONS: All sorts of variations on the eight-hour, five -day work schedule are being pushed, but the big emphasis is on more paid holidays, special vacation bonuses and longer paid vacations.

For instance, faculty unions at all educational levels will continue to negotiate for smaller classes, better teaching materials, lighter and more equitable work loads and schedules, better curricula, more office space and secretarial help, longer sabbaticals or other leave, privacy of personnel files, more liberal tenure rules, more assurance of academic freedom. Other bargaining goals of lessimportance range from improved grievance procedures and provision for dental insurance to group legal services and child care facilities. And all of this will come on top of 1973's certain cash pay hikes either deferred or tied to the cost of living or newly negotiated. The tilt to never ending increases in costs and prices is now at the very core of the American economic system. 1:00 STOCKS EARLIER RETIREMENT: Many unions are negotiating retirement at age 60 instead of 65, and some are even aiming at 55.

In another variation, the United Auto Workers has discarded the idea of a fixed retirement age and replaced it with and out" meaning retirement after 30 working years, regardless of age. Thus, a worker who started at 20 would be eligible to retire at 50. DOUBLE TIME PAY FOR OVERTIME: Also strongly favored by some unions are provisions permitting workers to reject proposed overtime freely whenever they choose. JOB SAFETY: Since the 1970 Occupational 1 Safety Health Act, job safety has become a major bargaining issue in many industries. One large union is demanding the establishment of plant safety committees, with union members represented.

IMPROVED PENSION PLANS: The major drives are for: more generous pension paysions (giving a worker a right ments; improved vesting the pension credits he has earned even if he does not work until official retirement age); portability of pension benefits from job to job and industry to industry.

Transport Plane Shot Down On Mekong River VIENTIANE (AP) A spokesman for Air America said today that two American pilots and a Thai were believed killed when an Air America C123 transport, plane was shot down by Communist antiaircraft gunners near the Mekong River town of Thakhek. The plane crashed Friday about 150 miles southeast of Vientiane while hauling seven tons of household goods belonging to Americans from Savannakhhet to Vientiane. said Laospokesman one tian aboard the cargo craft parachuted to safety, but a Thai citizen aboard was killed in the crash. Thai irregular troops operating in the region were reported to have recovered the Thai's body, but were said to have been driven from the area by gunfire before they could identify or recover two other bodies in the front of the plane. The identification of the two American pilots was withheld until their families were notified.
