Food Prices Rise 2.1%
In Month as Liyinq
Cost Increases 0.9%
Survey of Three Cities
Indicates Still Higher
Levels as of July IS
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

Food prices in the Nation
jumped 81 per cent between mid
May and mid-June, boosting the
cost of living during the same pc
riod by nine-tenths of l per cent,
the Bureau. of Labor Statistics re-
ported today.
At the same time, the agency
said it had made a preliminary
food price check of three cities
as of July Is, which leads experts
to believe consumers are faced
with a further sharp increase in
retail prices.
The general price survey was
made before the outbreak of the
Korean war on June 25.
However, in a report prepared
for the Joint Committee on the
Economic Report this week, the
bureau warns there are strong
indications that retail prices will
continue to advance in July"
Scare Buying and Hoarding.
The report adds:
''This reflects, to an unde-
termined extent. the Korean con-
flict. Part of it is scare buying and
boarding by some consumers, and
part of it reflects higher raw ma
terial costs which have been
passed on with great rapidity to
the consumers.
The higher prices have led to
demands on the part of some in

Gen. Dean, Wounded
Officially Reported
As Missing in Action
24th Division Chief
Lost Seen Thursday;
Hope for Return Held

Maj. Gen. William F. Dean is
missing in action after being re-
ported wounded in Korea, the
Army announced today. He was
last seen on the front on Thurs
day.
The Army's announcement said
Gen. Macarthur had ''high hopes
that the commander of the oath
Division would return with some
of his troops.
Gen. MacArthur's message to
the department said:
with deep regret I report that
Maj. Gen. Dean, commanding
general, Oath Division, is missing
in action. The circumstances are
as follows:
During withdrawal operations
of one of his units, he remained
with the unit to accompany the
withdrawal and has not been
heard from since that time.
High hopes exist that he will
return with one of the groups OF
separated personnel frequently re-
turning to their units. Gen
Deans interpreter. who had been
with him, indicates that Dean was
wounded, but due to the inter-
prefers own serious wound, he
could not indicate how seriously.
"It is still hoped that this gal
liant officer, if alive, has not fall
len into enemy hands"
Commissioned in 1921.
Gen. Dean was born in Carlyle,
H., August /, 1899. A graduate of
the University of California, he
was first commissioned a second
lieutenant in the infantry re-
serve in 1921.
An Army spokesman, in making
the departments announcement,
commented: Reports of Gen.
Deans conduct are just what
you'd expect of him.
HE was a great personal lead
er with great magnetism and
great courage, and he will be an
inspiration to all of his men,
The general preferred to be in
the field with his men rather than
at a desk job or an administrative
position. It was his idea to lead
his troops personally wherever
possible. and he frequently moved
among his front-line troops with
out regard for his personal safety
He is known as a soldiers general

Congress toGet
Arms Program
Early Next Week
ConnoIIy Sees Delay
In Request for More
Military Aid Funds
By John A. Giles

The Defense Departments plan
for spending an additional $40
billion as result of the Korean
war was on President Truman's
desk today.
It arrived at the White House
yesterday-too late for forwarding
to Congress this week as originally
planned - and indications were
that it would reach Capitol Hill
by Tuesday or Wednesday.
Although ground troops will
bear the brunt of the Korean
fighting and the Navy will take
on additional heavy duties because
of transportation and conveying,
the larger portion of the fund
which Mr.. Truman requested will
go to the Air Force. This is at
tributable to an increase in air.
craft procurement, officials said.
2 Million Seen in Service.
AS predictions were made on
Capitol Hill that the number Of
Americans in uniform would climb
to above the 2-million mark in the
next few months, there were these
other defense developments:
i. Chairman Connally of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee predicted a delay in any
presidential request for more arms
aid funds. Mr.. Truman has indi-
Gated he would seek more money
possibly up to S. billion-to equip
friendly nations, but the Texas
Democrat said that the $1,222,-
100000 Congress already has au-
thorized would take care of the
problem for awhile"
2. Mr.. Truman ordered IA ma
jor Government agencies to curb
Federal construction, tighten
credit and hold down their buying
on items using critical materials,
The action was in line with his
message to Congress Wednesday
in which he said he was direct.
ing executive agencies to review
their programs with the idea Of
lowering demand upon services
commodities, raw materials, man
power and facilities competing
with those needed for defense.
IL Ships Taken From Reserve.
8. The Maritime Commission
announced that IL troop ships
were being taken from its West
Coast "mothball" feet and turned
over to the military. Shipping
space is one of the major needs
in the Korean fighting and the
additional ships have potential
carrying capacity of $4,000 men
or more-enough to move two full
divisions of troops.
4. The Senate moved swiftly
late yesterday to approve a bill
giving the President power to ex-
tend for one year the enlistment
period of men now in the armed
services. It also would apply to
the National Guard.
S. An immediate tax increase on
individuals and corporations was
urged unanimously by the Senate
House Economic Committee which
acts in an advisory capacity on
economic matters. Chairman
O'Mahoney, Democrat, of Wyom-
ing said the increase should be
"at least" 10 per cent on in
dividuals.
6. The Senate voted to give the
President control over the oper-
alton of all foreign ships in Amer
ican waters in an effort to guard
against possible sneak attacks"

Manufacturers Likely
To Feel Steel Pinch
For Long Period
By the Asseeiated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Steel
procurement will be major prob
lem for most manufacturers for
a long time, the Iron Age, metal
working trade weekly, said today.
Buyers, the publication re-
ported, are taking every ton of
steel they can get their hands on
and reaching out for more.
But it added, "there is prac-
tically no chance that consumers
will be able to boost their steel
quotas for peacetime production.
With steel items already on in
formal ALLEGATION by the mills, the
only way a consumer can get
more steel from the mill is by
obtaining defense or essential Or
ders or by showing a history of
steel buying far out of proportion
to his present quota"
Foreign mills. conversion and
gray markets have played a vital
role in keeping operations of some
plants at a high level, said the
Iron Age.
Meanwhile producers and con-
sumers wait for the Government
to formalize voluntary ALLEGATION
of steel, 1t said, reporting that an
industry advisory committee al
ready has been selected but will
not function until Government
machinery to administer the plan
is freed for action.
Steel people were described as
impatient over lack of a specific
Government announcement on
requirements and distribution.
1.-TWO big producers" the Iron
Age said, "are now taking orders
for the fourth quarter, even
though they realize they are run
ming the risk of having to remake
their order books. Buyers have
been told that anything promised
is subject to change pending Gov
ernment orders. It will take some
mills the whole month of october
to clean up third quarter orders"
New strength was registered in
scrap market this week with sharp
price spurts, the Iron Age said.
It placed steelmakeing operations
at 101 per cent OF rated capacity.
