Living Costs

The monthly survey of the Bur-
eau of Labor Statistics reveals
that the five-month record climb
in living costs ended in mid-Sep-
TENDER, when the cost-of-living in
big cities stayed the same as that
reported for mid-August. The mid
September level of the living cost
index was 174.5 per cent of the
1858 average.

One of the differences between
newspapers and radio stations is

thing to report this week: he's
more mystifying than ever.
No wonder-he's already in

You don't get il? Neither do
we. But just leave il to Drake.
He'll get somebody killed off
yet. even if the job does mean
a major undertaking.
DICK Tracy, on the other
hand (get off that other hand,
will you, Tracy?), is hot on the
trail of Shoulders, who killed
man and stole a fortune in
Jewels which was hidden in
the top of a park monument.
Shoulders had been posing as
a brush salesman, but his step
daughter, during his absence
from the house, locked herself
into his brush case, and her
mother has called the police to
get her out.
They may get her out, but
we'll bet Tracy gets her step
father in.

A delegation of % student vet

The drive, which the vets call
Operation Subsistence" is part
of a national campaign for pas

Why not diyyy?

According to figures released
last week by state treasurer Yates
Rowe, Illinois collected 1861
615 in sales tax during 1947-an
increase of almost 1000, 900 over
the amount collected in 1916.
1t was expected that the record
collection from the two per cent
sales tax will bring renewed de-
mands from 200 cities in Illinois
that the state split proceeds of the
tax with cities.
Petitions demanding a special
session of the legislature to au-
thorize the tax split are on Gov.
Green's desk.

Young Hartmann, accused of
fatally stabbing Mrs. Gracelyn
Bush, 80, in a South Side park
ing lot last Sept. "a, was on trial
for murder.
But during the first day of the
trial, on Monday, 'twenty-eight
veniremen were questioned be-
fore Judge Daniel A. Roberts by
state and defense attorneys, and
not a single juror had been quail
fled to hear his case.
Most of those questioned were
disqualified by Edmund Grant,
assistant states attorney, when
they expressed scruples against
death penalty for a. l5-year-old
boy.
Grant indicated to jurors he
would ask death in. the electric
chair, life Imprisonment, or a
prison term of not less than IA
years.
1t appeared that the entire panel
of 100 veniremen might be ex-
hausted before the jury was Sc
lected, and that the court would
be compelled to call a special
venire.

The Lea Acts constitutionality
still remained in doubt this week,
following the successful defense
of James c. Petrillo again s t
charges brought under the. anti
labor act. H..
The law, better known as the
"anti-Petrillo" measure, was in
voked against Petrillo, president
of the American Federation of
Musicians (AFL), during Strike
by musicians against Chicago radio
station WAAF, which had refused
to hire three union musicians.
Some authorities had claimed
that the law was unconstitutional,
but Federal Judge Walter J.
LaBuy did not rule ON the ques-
ton of constitutionality. He merely
held that the prosecution had not
proved that Petrillo knowingly
violated the law.
