1t takes more
than $50 pay
to live today

TT HE large city worker
Il with a wife and two chill
dren of school age must earn
between $50 and $50 a week if
he is to live in a modest but
adequate American way with
prices as they were in June
1947.
That was the conclusion to
be drawn from an exhaustive
study entitled City Workers
Family Budget, made by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics at
the request of the House APP
preparations committee.
Submitted to the joint COM
mittee on the economic report
by BIS Commissioner Evan
Claque, the report shows how
much Americans living at an
assumed standard of modest
decency have to spend in each
department of their budget.
Claque made it plain that the
BIS survey is well below the
standard set by the Heller bud
get of the University of Cali
fornia, often used as a measure
of so-called American living
standards.
The BIS study, basing its
4-member family budget on the
actual buying habits of the
US. public, shows that the
food items required an expen-
diture of about SIS weekly or
Is cents per meal in 1916 and
nearly $40 week or about "a
cents per meal per person in
l947. Below the average per
capita consumption for the ma
ton, the budget allows about
nine pounds of all sorts of meat
and fish per week. of which
three-fifths is made up of the
relatively low cost meats -
stews, hamburger, frankfurt
tiers, etc.
Clothing costs varied at l947
prices between S410 and $462
among the cities, and medical
care cost between 1852 and
$184 annually. The overall
budget, except for a small life
insurance item and social Sc
curity tax payments, allows no
savings of any kind. Nor does
it permit expenses for any edu-
cation other than primary and
secondary public school.
The BIS started to use March
1916 prices in the survey, but
was forced TO start over again
after the rapid price rises ac-
companying the killing of price
control.

Driver and Pedestrian Hurt
As Car, Streefcar Collide

Two persons were injured, one of
them seriously, yesterday afternoon
when a streetcar collided with an
automobile and then jumped the
track and hit pedestrian.
Carl A. Butler, 81, of 1904 Tuxedo
road, Hyattsville, suffered severe
facial cuts and head and back in
juries when the automobile he was
driving collided with streetcar on
Kenilworth avenue near Eastern
avenue NE
The street car, which police said
was operated by Kenneth A. Leikari,
%, OF 736 Jackson place NE, hit the
pedestrian, Hagi Bendavid, IS, of
4l08 Queensbury road, Hyattsville,
after it was derailed by the crash.
Mr.. Bendavid received a foot in
jury described as not serious. Both
injured men were taken to Casualty
Hospital.
Police said the streetcar was max

view, this is good politics.
Confidence that the Republicans
can carry the State for the party's
presidential nomination in 1948 was
expressed not only by Senator Ma
lone, but also by the Republican
State Chairman, NJ A. Fairchild ,eand
the Republican national committee
man, Noble H. Getchel Last year,
the Republicans elected a Senator
and Nevada's sole member of the
House, Representative Russell-and
they narrowly missed electing a Re-
publican Governor.
In his address tonight, Senator
Taft also dealt with the labor
management problem and the Taft
Hartley Law, as he has in his other
recent speeches. The organized
labor vote in Nevada is compare
lively small-and the Taft Hartley
Law Is popular with most of the
rest of the voting population. Sen
ator Malone, however, voted against
the Taft-Hartley bill. while Repre-
sentative Russell voted for it.

preparations, it had unduly reduced

afford to be generous with them.

we proceed with the complete prep

projects so that they may be avail

Confident Of Gains In West.
Senator Taft told his audience he
mad this week visited Hoover Dam
and the whole area of the Colorado
River south OF Utah. He expressed
confidence that the Mountain States
had turned Republican, and he
added: The philosophy of the West
Is the philosophy of the Republi-
can party"
He declared that the Federal
Government has greater RESPONSE
blilty In the development of the
west than it has many other sec
lions. Much of the land in the
West, he pointed out, still is public
land. I'm the arid States" he said,

available land be developed, most

ception given by the Republicans in

by automobile this afternoon from
San Francisco. The Senator and

During his tenure as Mayor of
New York, he trimmed Manhattan

the Bronx Whitestone Bridge over
