Food and Living Cost
Indexes Revised 10
Reflect Wartimes
Lobor Statistics Unit
Given Extra Funds to
Keep Up With Changes

To bring It's cost Of living data
abreast of wartime market condi-
tions to give proper weight to such
factors as rationing, the Labor De-
partment is making important
changes in it's indexes of retail food
and living costs, Commissioner Of
Labor Statistics A. Ford Hinrichs re-
vealed today.
AS a result of these changes the
figures on living costs for March,
usually issued early in April, will
be delayed until the end of the
month.
Congress recently gave the Bureau
of Labor Statistics an additional ap-
preparation Of $51 900 to broaden its
survey of wartime price trends. This
appropriation will be used in part
to provide the bureau with addi-
tional price collection personnel in
large cities.
New Items Appear.
"Up to this time it has been pos
sible to keep the index Of the cost
Of living abreast of wartime market
conditions without delaying publi-
cation" the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics said in statement.
Thus, automobiles, tires. electric
refrigerators, washing machines and
other articles have been dropped as
they went off the market"
Substitutes, like rayon hosiery,
have been put into the index. Also.
as low-price lines have disappeared
and only higher-priced goods are
sold, the new goods are substituted.
"Such radical changes as are oc-
curing in the supplies Of foods and
other commodities compel wage
earners to look for substitutes to
replace or supplement those goods
which are no longer available on the
market.
Population Shifts Noted.
Changes in the prices Of these
goods must be reflected in the index
and the bureau is therefore includ-
ing additional commodities such as
liver, hamburger, corn sirup and
oatmeal At the same time the
bureau is making adjustments for
shifts in population to war centers
and for changes in the volume OF
food sold in super markets, chains
and independent stores"
The bureaus cost Of living index
is based on surveys made in Wash
tngton and 33 other large cities.
Between August, 1899, and Feb
ruary, 1943, the bureaus cost OF
living index showed a % per cent
average advance for the "a cities
The March index is expected te
show a further rise.

earning "the hearty reciprocation Of
that feeling by the Jewish people.
Undoubtedly his attitude has had
much to do with the determination
of the Jews of Palestine to have
their own separate army to aid in
the struggle to eliminate Hitler as
a world factor. The Jewish people,
though they are without separate
national government, are entitled to
real consideration in this great
struggle because of the proportion
ate sacrifice in casualties suffered
by the people of this faith.
Almost three millions of casualties
from a race originally comprising
perhaps fifteen millions of people is
a tremendous proportion"
