Eisenhower Says He'll Work
To Elect Republican Congress
Administration Record Should Be Issue
In Campaign, He Tells Reporters

was his conception that the ad-
ministration and the Republican
Congress should put forward a
program so dynamic and so val
liable to all the people of the
United States that they would
support it. He said that he was
intent on doing in his way what
he could in the coming cam
paign.
The President was asked if
he would make a direct appeal
to the people for the election
of a Republican Congress. in so
many words. He replied that he
could not say at present just
what form his appeal to the vot-
ers would take but that he be-
lieved in party government and
that he would do his part in the
campaign as he thought. He
said he believed the accomplish
ments of the Republican Con-
gress and the Republican admin
iStration should be made the rec
ord on which the party should
campaign.
A reporter suggested to the
President that, while he was
speaking of the Republican rec
ord, he could give a pat on the
back to an individual candidate
for Congress.
Amid laughter, the President
said it was a practice with him
to speak we'll of Republicans. He

Israeli Offer at u. N. Eases
Hot Dispute Over Jordan

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Oct.
% (P.-Straining tensions over
the hot Palestine dispute eased a
notch today after Israel sudden
ly offered to hold up her Jordan
River hydroelectric project while
the Security Council debates the
issue. The move won quick COM
mendation from both the Arabs
and the United States.
The council postponed until
tomorrow it's Palestine hearings.
ISraels Chief U. N. Delegate
Abba Eban made the surprise
offer yesterday to suspend work
on diverting the waters of the
Jordan as the council debated
Syria's complaint that the prof.
ect deprived the Arabs of water
for irrigation and preached the
Arab-Jewish armistice.
Lebanon's DR.. Charles Malik,
sole Arab League delegate on the
council. voiced gratitude for Is
rael'S "conciliatory gesture" and
congratulated Eban for making
it.
U. N. circles said the Israeli
compromise gesture might serve
to cool off the boiling Palestine
dispute which has reused fear in
Washington and London that an
open Israeli-Arab break was
near.
These circIes said Lebanon'S
warm response to the offer indi-
Gated that the Arabs, too, we're
anxious to see things calm down.
Israel also received praise
from Chief United States Dele
gate Henry Cabot Lodge, jr.,
who was reported to have urged
Eban to make the offer in hopes
it would ease tension.
The council unanimously
noted the Israeli offer and asked
the U. N. Truce Supervision Com
mission to see whether it was
carried out.
Eban made his announcement
after U. N. truce supervisor,
Maj. Gen. Vagn Bennike,
warned his council that open
war threatened in Palestine
unless the armistice agreements
were followed to the letter.

One Injured
When Truck
Runs Wild

A runaway tractor trailer
loaded with grapefruit slammed
into five parked trucks and
three automobiles today, sending
one man to the hospital and
causing about $500 damage.
The truck went out of control
at the top of a grade and rolled
on for more than half a block
before crashing into the parked
vehicles in the 1900 block of
Fourth street NE, the Northeast
Market area.
Willie G. McGill, SO, of Lake
Wales, Fla, driver of the truck.
said he applied the brakes and
found they would not work. It
was believed an air hose had
broken.
Some of the vehicles which
were struck were parked dag
onal to the Hendrix Steak House
and American Meat Co., for
loading and unloading. One of
the cars was overturned in the
tumble of wreckage.
Myer Brown, AZ, of 951 West

ATLANTA, Oct. 28.-A Boston
doctor today recommended
"whistling at work or play" as
a possible aid in treating a chron-
ic lung ailment he says is highly

DR.. Maurice S. Segal of Tufts

ailment is an over -distention of

its present high incidence may
be associated with an increase

By Gould Lincoln

President Eisenhower today
set at rest any doubt that he
would be lukewarm in the Con-
gressional elections campaign
next year. In the manner in
which he conceiveS a President
of the United States can play his
part in such a campaign, the
President will proceed next year.
The President told newsmen
at a press conference that he
believed firmly in party respon-
sibility and in the two-party
system. He indicated that with
these beliefs in mind, he will
take a real interest in the elec-
ton of a Republican Congress.
The President was asked
whether he would amplify or
explain his position, which had
been interpreted after his press
conference last week to mean
that he would not campaign for
Republican candidates for Con-
gress next year.
The President commented that
he could not possibly acquaint
himself with all the local issues
in 435 congressional districts.
1t would. he said, be a physical
impossibility. He said he wished
to make it clear to all, however,
that he was, of cource, inter-
ested in the outcome of the
congressional campaign.

Washington's problem in ju-
venile crime is not the number
of offenses, but the seriousness
of them, the Commissioners
Youth Council was told today.
Capt. John F. Ryan, head of
the police Juvenile Squad, said
he is sending more youths ar
rested by police to Juvenile Court
than in former years because
their crimes are so mucn more
serious.
His view of the seriousness of
the problem was echoed by
other officials who reported to
the Youth Council, which was
established recently to work out
methods of combating juvenile
delinquency here.
Ferdinand v. GraysOn, execu-
tive director of United Com
munity Services, compared the
increase in delinquency COM
plants to Juvenile Court with
the increase in school enroll
ment since 1899. His figures
showed that during this period
while school enrolment in
creased 11.8 per cent, complaints
to Juvenile Court increased ia
per cent.
Mr.. Grayson also compared
Juvenile Court reports here with
the Children's Bureau survey of
Juvenile Courts reporting from
342 cities. He made the point
that the court here does not fol-
low the same reporting system
as all the other courts, but tie
figures do show that Washing
tons juvenile problem has in
creased considerably more than
in other cities.
According to this report, the
other courts reported a 10 per
cent increase in juvenile cases
from 1851 to 1852 and a 20 per
cent increase from 1948 to 1852.
The court here, reporting COM
plants rather than cases, showed
35 per cent increase from 1851
to 1852 and a Al per cent in
crease from 1948 to 1852
Welfare Director Gerard nj.
Shea reported substantial in
creases in the number of chill
dren sent to the Receiving Home
and the number committed to
the Welfare Department by

the children were younger, ap-
peared more emotionally dis
turbed and were committing
more serious crimes.

assuring note, however. He said
dope addiction among juveniles

here.

Cost Of Living Rises
To Record High for
7th Month in Row
Foods Down on Sept. IS.
But All Other Glasses of
Consumer Goods Up
By James Y. Newton

Higher prices for all types of
consumer goods and services ex-
cept foods have pushed the cost
of living to a new all-time high
for the seventh month in a row,
the Government announced to-
day.
The Labor Departments Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics said that
its consumer price index in
creased 2 per cent in the month
ending September Is to a point
15.2 per cent above the 1947-
1949 average which is used as a
base.
Food Prices Down.
Lower food prices. which are
heavily weighted in the Govern
ment's price index, prevented
living costs in general from show
ing a very sharp rise in the
month of the latest survey.
President Eisenhower told his
news conference last week that
it was more important to stress
the fact that the cost-of-living
figures were flattening out than
to point out the new high levels
reached by the price index each
month. He added that prices
in the last year have been he'd
to a narrow range while in
creases in other years ran as high
as 7 per cent.
Actually the cost of living de-
clined for several months prior
to the time the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration took over and for
a month afterward. Since Feb
ruary, however, living costs have
climbed steadily each month.
Up Since Korean War.
The figures today showed that
costs had risen 1.6 per cent
since February and only per
cent in the past year, rejecting
the decline in the last months
of 1852. Since the outbreak of
the Korean war, the Government
statisticians said. prices have
risen 1872 per cent.
Food prices declined 3 per
cent in the month ending Sep
tember Is. Up were clothing, l
per cent; housing and rents, 3
per cent; medical care, Z per
cent; personal care, reading and
recreation, 2 per cent, and
transportation and other goods
and services averaged L per cent
higher than in August.
Rent DecOntrOl a Factor.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
attributed the rise in living costs,
to some extent, to the fact that
rents we're decontrolled in large
part of the country in the late
summer.
No major union wage con-
tracts were tied to the latest
cost = of living index. Railroad
workers pay was adjusted a
month ago and the auto workers,
the other large group whose pay
depends on the rise or fall of
living costs, will receive a new
wage increase after next months
figures are released.

BY the Assoeiated Press

BANGKOK, Thailand. Oct. %.
The evacuation of Chinese Ma
tionalist guerrillas from North
Burma to Formosa is scheduled
to get under way next week, it
was announced here today.
About 1000 guerrillas and de-
pendents will be moved out Of
Nixon's Visit Makes No Shift in lndo-
nesio's Middle Course. Pose At
Burma, said Col. Raymond D.
Palmer, United States military
attache here and a member of
the three-nation Joint Evacua-
ton Committee.
Col. Palmer said Chinese Ma
tionaliSts notified the committee
that the first contingent of guer-
rillas would be moved to the
Thai border for the flight to
Formosa about November S.
Burma repeatedly has accepted
the total of 1000 guerrillas and
dependents in principle, al
though it has repeatedly de-
manded the evacuation of $4,000
guerrillas who repeatedly fled
across the border when Com
munist armies swept over South
China in 1949.
Burma SuSpends Attacks.
Burma announced 10 days ago
that it would suspend aerial and
ground operations against the
guerrillas pending another at
tempt to arrange their evacua-
ton. The attacks we're sched-
uled to resume November Is.
The thorny guerrialla prob
lem was among matters United
States Vice President Richard
Nixon planned to study during
two-and-o -one-half day stop
over here. He and his party ar
rived by plane yesterday. The
evacuation agreement appeared
to have settled the problem, at
least for the time being.
Col. Palmer said the United
States will contribute most of
the $307 900 needed to evacuate
the guerillaS and dependents.
He added that Nationalist China
will pay some costs and Thailand
will pay for moving the guerillaS
through its territory.
u. N. Asked Withdrawal.
The evacuation plan was
worked out here by representa-
tives of the United States, Thai
land, Nationalist China and
Burma after the United Nations
General Assembly adopted a res
olution calling for withdrawal
of the guerillas.
Burma subsequently walked
out after accusing the Chinese
Nationalists of Stalling and
opened military action against
the guerilla forces.
