WASHINCTON.-The average American family spent only $2.27 per person per week for food or little over 10 cents per meal per person, it was revealed here by the Natl. Resources Plan- ming Board in a study of family expenditures in the US. in 1885 36.
 CONSUMER STUDY
 The study was a sequel to two previous studies of consumer incomes and consumer expenditures and was broken down to present the figures of the previous studies in terms of families.
 The 7,350,00O families in the low est income group, those with incomes of less than $710 year and consti- tuting one-fourth of all the families, had an average income of $40 year which was $27 less than the amount spent by the average family for food alone.
The union times., 1941-11-01
STRIKING CONTRASTS

Striking contrasts were pre- scented in food expenditures by families in different income classes. Families in the $75O to 5000 year income group spent $500 a year for food while families in the $2,5OO to $3,OOO a year group spent more than double that or $619 a year for food.
 Expenditures for housing showed the same trend, though the climb was sleeper.

force. Rarely has the screen been
so successful in proving that the
abominable can be as fascinating as
the beautiful Rarely, indeed, has
the screen tried. That is one of the
things wrong with the movies. The
Little Foxes" helps to correct the
unbalanCe.
In her unending quest for wicked
women to impersonate. Miss Davis
has found none to equal Regina
Giddens. none so engrossingly evil.
Maddened by avarice, she will kill
her decent. charming husband, send
her cunning, cruel brothers to prison,
hold always in reserve the sacrifice
of her lovely, innocent daughter as
bride to a leCherouS, drooling first
cousin. Regina wants money, you
see in all the worst ways.
There is no pretenSe of softness
In the screen version Of The Little
Foxes" With a fine aWareness of
the cameras Widened scope, Miss
Hellman has expanded her story.
But despite the injection Of mildly
romantic note and an occasional
flash of gentle comedy, the accent
is where it should be. Regina and
her brothers, the Hubbard boys, were
beasts in the VileSt sense OF the word
and audiences brave enough to face
them will find themselves amply
rewarded. Under no circumstances,
to be sure. is the title to suggest
another Walt Disney film all of

The screen version perhaps is even
more effective than the original
in its revelation of Regina's depravi-

to write more amply the character
of the husband, a man of gentle

Otherwise, The Little Foxes" is
still a straightforward, relentless
account of the HubbardS and the
sister who married Horace Giddens.

are almost the equal of their sister
in money madness. The innocentS
who surround them, just as Regina's s

above encouraging his son to rob

Rigney, Chicago Pitcher
Rejected for Army
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, June 20.-John Duncan
Rigney. 26-year-old star pitcher for
the Chicago White Sox. was rejected
today for Army service on the
ground that a perforation of the
right ear drum made him unfi'
physically for service.
Rigney reported to his local draft
board in suburban River Forest,
then went with other selectees to
a Chicago induction station where
he was given a final physical exam
ination.
The ear trouble was the reason
that a staff of draft doctors in
Pasadena, Calf, classified Rigney
in class At during the White Sox
spring training on the Pacific Coast
Later, however. an examination by
physicians of the River Forest Board
reclaSsifed him in IA, subject to
immediate service.
Rigney did not seek deferment on
physical grounds, but did request a
delay in his call for so days. Later
he withdrew that request and said
he was ready to go when called.
The induction station placed Rig
ney in class AT, which means in
definite deferment.
Frankly, I'm disappointed" Rig
ney told reporters. Il had looked
forward to serving my country"
The White Sox Office said Rigney
would rejoin the ball club imme-
diately at Philadelphia, where the
Sox open with the Athletics to-
morrow.

/ The o. was on its first extensive
diving trials after lying idle for 10
years. 1t was recommissioned June

25, 1885.

j. Brown took immediate charge
of the search. Meanwhile diving
equipment was being rushed from
the Navy Yard at Washington and
Admiral Edwards, in charge of the

The depth Of the spot where the
% was diving was reported as 370
feet, and was only short distance
from where the Squalus went to the
bottom in May, 1889, with the loss
of 26 lives.
In a sensational rescue, 33 of the
SqualuS' officers and men were saved
by new diving bell, but that shin
ing new craft rested in only 240
feet of water and was equipped to
handle the diving bell on a special
escape hatch.
Available Navy officials expressed
doubt that the same method could
be used to lift the O-9's crew. be-
cause that craft was so old that it
contained few of the safety features
incorporated in the new underSea
boats. In fact. the rescue bell was
a mere thought in the minds of its
designers when the 90 was built.
Twenty-one expert divers from

Bv the Associated Press.
A Baltimore radio station eXecu-
tive charged today that the large
networks had used coercion to
force their affiliates to do their
bidding"
Hope H. Barrow, jr., executive
manager of WFBR. gave this testi-
mony after four owners of small
stations had told the Senate Inter-
state Commerce Committee that
new rules promulgated by the Fed
eral Communications Commission
threatened their connections with
networks and might damage their
financial position.
Mr.. Barrow told the committee
the Baltimore station was leaving
the National Broadcasting Co.'S
Red network October l to become
affiliated with Mutual Broadcast
ing System because N. B. c. was
transferring its Red network to
WBAL, a competing station.
Yelled Threat" Charged.
He said N. B. C. had offered his
station a guarantee of 100000 in
the first year if it would affiliate
with the N B. c. blue network,
adding that he was certain the
guarantee had been offered for
the purpose of preventing our affil-
iation with Mutual"
Mr.. Barrow read to the committee
a letter he said William S. Hedges,
N. B. c. executive, had written him
in January which the witness as
to shift WFBR to what he de-
scribed as the less lucrative blue
network after a disagreement over
clearing time for an N. B. C. COM
mercial program.
Calls 1t Example of Coercion.
The station, he said, reluctantly
cleared the time fro m9;30 to 10
cleared the time from $50 to 10
for several years to program to
encourage recruiting in the Mary
land National Guard, to make way
for the network program.
InlS, ne addeo, was an example
of the coercion which the networks
can and do force on their afflliates
to do their bidding
Opposition to the commissions
new rules was expressed in formal
statements filed with the committee
by Frank c. Goodman, for the Fed
eral Council of the Churches of
Christ in America; Edward J. Hef-
from for the National Council of
