more thorough check could be made
at camp.
Slowed in Sleeping Bag.
He was slowed in large sleeping
bag for the bumpy ride down to
base. Fortunately no bones were
broken, but movement of any sort
was painful because of the pressure
exerted on his body while in that
distorted position, crammed as he
was on his side between the con-
vergice faces. ...
Although the rope which hoisted
him had been carefully harnessed
with wadding under the armpits,
the plexus of nerves in the right
arm had been injured-because the
combined effort of four men pull
ing on the rope had been necessary
to break him out as tooth from its
socket-with the result that his
right arm was partially paralyzed
He recovered completely in mat
ter of weeks, however, and was
anxious to be off scouting again.
On that same eventful night,
Comdr. Isaac Schlossbach froze
big toe so badly that the. entire tip
suffered a dry gangrene. During
the following three months, large
area sloughed and was replaced by
new tissue. This toe now bears a
star shaped dimple at the very tip.
Thrown From Sledge.
Down this same glacier, Nelson
McClary had to be brought in in a
T-shaped bracket splint, again us
ing the free ambulance service. He
had been thrown from his sledge
when it struck a hard snow hillock,
called sastrugi, which dot the sur

face everywhere particularly after
a high wind. Crashing against the
sharp edge of another sastrugi his
collar bone snapped and up in
smoke went his hopes of making
the 1,200-mile southern sledge trip.
I had to reset the bone again after
his arrival at camp but the repair
was uneventful.
One winters day, one of our pilots
flew alone into camp, walked into
the hut and drew his chair up to a
cup Of hot tea without removing
his hat. When he doffed it, a large
blood-stained emergency bandage
appeared. He had landed on the
6,000-foot plateau to deliver supplies
to the meteorology station and had
butted into the idling propeller
while stomping the deep snow in
front of his plane to facilitate the
takeoff.

Federal Pay

March, ls46. comparable annual
costs were placed at $2,718 and
$2,985.
Noting smaller family budget esti-
mates for other cities, Senator Lam
ger demanded to know why that
should be, adding it seems some
one is getting blood out of Federal
workers" He wanted to know If 1t
was due to price fixing or monopo-
lies.
Mr.. Clague said it would be diff
ficult to find all the answers. One
reason, he suggested, might be that
merchants here have to pay higher
rentals. Another, he added, prob
ably was that Washington was not
manufacturing city and had to
ship in much of the goods and sup
plies needed here.
Price Level Double.
At one point, Senator LANCER pro-
tested that he had to pay $3.50 for
a union suit here whereas he used
to buy them in North Dakota for
40 cents each.
Speaking of the general imitation
since prewar days, Commissioner
Clague said the general price level
was about twice as high as it was
before the war. Because retail
prices in general move more slug
gishly than wholesale, he said, the
cost of living has risen somewhat
less. He put it at about two-thirds.
At the end of 1347, he said, the
bureaus wholesale price index,
which measures prices in primary
markets, was about lit per cent
above the figure for August, 1899,
while the consumer price index,
formerly called the cost of living
index, was SO per cent higher.
Retail food prices in December,
1947, he said, were AZ per cent above
those in June, 1916, and 121 per
cent higher than in August, 1889.
Prices Seen Staying High.
THE prospect of smaller supplies
of some foods" Commissioner
Clague continued, ''has created
justifiable apprehension over the
supply price outlook for the COM
ing year. Latest reports of the De-
partment of Agriculture indicate

that total food supplies Ii 194S viii
be lower than In 1947: and In view
Of sustained national income and
foreign demand, prices generally
will remain high with particular
upward pressure on meat and
cereal prices, unless measures are
taken to restrain them
With a large wheat crop in pros
pect, and with anticipated increases
in European production and larger
domestic corn crop, he added, "the
supply price situation for grains
and cereals should ease In the last
half Of the year."
There are many reasons for be-
lieving, he said, that food prices
generally will 60 higher before they
decline.
Lower prices for clothing, house
furnishings and similar commodities
likewise are not in prospect for the
near future, he said.
No Gauge of Rent Increase.
The commissioner said the bureau
Ikdu s1O lCllnbAC AlCtllOA Va
what will happen to rents in the
future.
While the bureaus index figures
showed that rents in Washington
advanced only 1.6 per cent since
August, 1899, or less than for the
country as whole, Senator LANCER
brought out that the index did not
take into account costs of mainte-
nance and repairs paid by tenants.
The committee also questioned DR..
Winfred Overholser, superintendent
of st. Elizabeths Hospital; DR.. Alvin
r. Sweeney, head of Gallinger Hos
pital; and DR.. Joseph L. Gilbert,
head Of Gallinger's psychiatric di-
vision.

views as to whether increased costs
of living and pinched family budgets
