The Labor Department reported
yesterday an increase of 0.4 per cent
last week in its index of wholesale

The increase, the department said,

advance represents the first up
ward movement in the all-commod-
lty index since early in December"
The index now stands at 76.9 per

THANK you for your comment
on the Sugar Bowl football
game of January second.
Lack of available wire facil-
files from New Orleans North
and West made it physically
impossible to carry the game in
its entirety. Proctor and Gam
bic has always been more than
ready to r%elinuuish its time
for events of outstanding inter
crest, and in the case of the
Sugar Bowl game did relinquish
time where it was possible for
stations to secure wire facilities
to the game. The situation was
an unfortunate one, but one
in which nothing could be
helped by Proctor and Gamble,
this station, or the National
Broadcasting Company. You will
recall that the last three high
school championship games
have been broadcast in their
entirety with Proctor and Gam
ble relinquishing time very
gladly that the broadcast might
take place.
