Living costs, as measured by
the Government, edged up
slightly between mid-March and
mid-April.
The Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics reported today that it's con-
Sumer's price index advanced
one-tenth of l per cent during
the month. Retail food costs
declined two-tenths of l per cent,
but other consumer expenses
rose slightly.
The index at mid-April was
1877 per cent of the 1947-49
average. This means, roughly,
that purchases costing about a
dollar five years ago cost nearly
$1.14 now.
Costs Now Near Peak.
Living costs now are near the
peak set last November when
the index was 114.3. The mid
April figure was about one-half
of l per cent under the Novem-
ber record.
The bureau said that living
costs now are seven-tenths of
l per cent above a year ago
and 11.7 per cent more than
when the Korean war began.

Former Assistant Attorney
General T. Lamar Caudle teSti-
fled today that if anybody tried
to influence him by taking him
duck hunting on the Mississippi
River, it was a double -barreled
mistake.
Mr.. Caudle told of his hunt
ing woes while being questioned
by a House Judiciary subcom-
mittee investigating influence
peddling in the Justice Depart
ment's Tax Division, which Mr..
Caudle headed from 1947 to
1851.
Mr.. Caudle conceded that in
December, 1949, he went on a
Tennessee hunting trip spon-
Sored by Jack Norman, a Nash
vile attorney, and John Hooker,
lawyer for Isadore Afford. Mr..

GIN and Union Agree
To Modify Formula
On Workers WAGES
Revised BIS Price
Index to Be Used for
350,000 Employees
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, May 22.-General
Motors today announced an
agreement with the CIO United
Automobile Workers Union cov-
ering modification of the formula
affecting wages of about $50, 900
GIN employees in the Nation.
The agreement calls for con-

BIS base.
A total of 19 cents of the pre-
sent "a cents cost-of- Living al

This would be in addition to

Living Costs Rise in Month,
Near 1885 AN-Tin1e Peak
Retail Food Expenses Decline Slightly,
But Other Cotegories Raise Index

Food costs, which reached a
peak last August, now are 81
per cent below a year ago but
10.9 per cent above the level
when the Korean war began.
Medical Costs Up
The bureau reported increases
in costs of medical care, cigar
cites, transportation, gasoline,
auto repairs, movie admissions,
and television repair. Some of
these increases were only local
among cities in which the bu-
reau collects it's price informa-
tion.
Today's index has no effect
on labor contracts, many of
which are hinged to the Govern
ment living cost figures. The
contracts provide that pay rates
rise or fall according to index
changes.
Most are geared to the bu-
reau's "old series" index, how
ever. The mid-April figure for
that series won't be announced
until next week. It will affect
wage rates of about l million
auto workers whose contracts
have the "escalator" clauses.

Open Hearing Urged
On Shifts in Health
And Traffic Setups
Advisory Council Asked
To Request Sessions on
Reorganization Moves

The Citizens Advisory Coun-
Gil has been asked to request
the Commissioners to hold a
public hearing on those parts
of the District government re-
organization which would wipe
out the present Traffic Depart
ment and remove two bureaus
from the Health Department.
Council Member Joseph A.
Kaufman made the request in
the form of a motion to the ad-
visory group which met today
in regular session to consider the
latest reorganization proposals.
The meeting was closed to the
press, but Chairman Robert v.
Fleming told reporters that &C
ton was deferred on the motion
until Monday at 2:15 pm. when
a special council session will be
held.
New Plan Just Released.
The Commissioners advisory
group was able only barely to get
started in it's consideration of
the proposed re-shuffling of the
Vehicles and Traffic Depart
ment, according to Mr.. Fleming.
For one thing, he pointed out,
the latest reorganization plan
which sets up a new Highway
and Traffic Department-was
released only this morning by
District officials.
This plan would consolidate
the traffic engineering and safe
ty activities of the present traf-
f1c department. as we'll as all
the functions of the District Mo-
tor Vehicle Parking Agency,
with the Highway Department.
The council today spent near
ly three hours listening to the
reaction of the Traffic Advisory
Board which also would be af-
fected by the reorganization.
The licensing and drivers permit
functions of the traffic depart
ment are slated to go to a new

President Signs Bill
0nSubmerged Lands;
Three Pens Used
Measure in Keeping
With Bosie Principles
Of Fair Play, He Says
BY Joseph A. Fox

President Eisenhower today
signed legislation giving the
coastal States title to their OIL
rich offshore lands. The Presi-
dent hailed the measure as "in
keeping with basic principles of
honesty and fair play"
The controversial measure,
which split the Democratic ranks,
was signed in the presence of a
large group of House and Senate
members interested in it.
AS Gen. Eisenhower spotted
Representative Rayburn of
Texas. former House Speaker,
in the gathering. he held out
his hand with a laugh and said,
Il was wondering where Texas
was"
Talk in Whispers.
He and Mr.. Rayburn then
exchanged whispered remarks
which brought another laugh
from both.
The President used three pens
for the signing. When he fin
ished. the Senators and Repre-
sentatives applauded.
The Presidents statement fol-
lows:
II am pleased to sign this
measure into law, recognizing
the ancient rights of the States
in the submerged lands within
their historic boundaries. AS I
have said many times, I de-
plore and I will always resist
Federal encroachments upon the
rights and affairs of the States.
Recognizing the States claim
to these lands is in keeping
with the basic principles of hon.
esty and fair play.
Recognizes u. S. Interests.
"The measure also recognizes
the interests of the Federal
Government outside of the his
toric boundaries o fthese States
Such lands should be admins
tered by the Federal Govern
ment, and income therefrom
should go into the Federal treas
ury."
The President gave the pens
he used in signing the bill to
Senators Holland of Florida and
Daniels of Texas, both Demo-
Gratis, who fought for the legis-
islation, and Representative
Graham. Republican, Of Penn

cept to drop the prosecution even
though a Nashville grand jury
and the United States attorney
in Nashville, Ward Hudgins,
favored prosecution.
After the grand jury heard
rumors that this and other cases
had been fixed, it subpoenaed
Justice Department officials to
explain. Mr.. Caudle said he i'm

Mccarthy Challenged
To Document Charue
Against British Ships
Flanagan Says Doto
Gould Be Supplied in
Case of Showdown
By Cecil Holland

Pressure built up today on
Senator McCarthy's Investigate
ing subcommittee to document
its charge that British-owned
ships had transported Commu-
mist troops along the China
coast during the Korean war.
The charge was made in a
public hearing Wednesday before
the subcommittee headed by the
Wisconsin Republican. It i'm
mediately brought international
repercussions and increased the
existing tensions between the
United States and Great Britain,
Challenged by Senator Mundt,
Republican, of South Dakota, a
subcommittee member, to answer
the charges, a British Foreign
Office complained:
Sometimes it's rather difficult
for us to comment on a report
that unidentified ships of un-
known tonnage carried unsus-
pected numbers of so-called
troops at a date not known be-
tween unstated ports"
Mundt Called Answer.
Senator Mundt, a member of
the Mccarthy subcommittee,
had asserted that the British
Government loves the free
world a reply" He added: ]
am not inclined to wait too long
for them to volunteer it. And
the answer had better not be
Yes, so what?'"
G. E. Marden, chairman of
the Wheelock- -Marden Co., said
in London today the Mccarthy
charge was "a horrible lie-it
just didn't happen" This COM
pany had been named as own
ing cne of the vessels that al
legedly transported the Red
troops.
The charge also has been de-
MED by F. H. Horman-Fisher,
the Hong Kong manager of
Wheeler -Marden.
Senator Mccarthy, in Bethesda
Naval Hospital for a physical
checkup. was unavailable for
comment on the British reaction
to the charge. But subcommit-
tee Counsel Francis Flanagan
told reporters:
"AH we can say is what we
have said. For security reasons
we can't go any further"
Says Showdown Could Be Met.
Asked if the subcommittee
could document the charge if the
matter came to showdown, Mr..
Flanagan replied:
IF it came to a showdown, the
information could be supplied"
Mr.. Flanagan pointed out that
John Leddy. a State Department
official, confirmed the charges in
part in his testimony before the
subcommittee Wednesday.
Mr.. Leddy testified that the
State Department received in
formation in July, 1851, that a
Panamanian registered vessel
owned or managed by a British
Hong Kong company, not iden-
titled. had engaged in transport
ing Communist troops. Th e

This new era in children's
literature actually began just
200 years ago with John New
berry, the English printer,
working with Oliver Gold
smith. Their entrance into the
field was like fresh air in a
sickroom. Instead of teach
ing children how to die pious-
ly. these books encouraged
them to live happily" Mrs.
Adams points out.
The immortal Alice" which
was a straightforward tale and
made no apologies for not
being anything more, ended
once and for all the feeling
that a juvenile book, to be
worthwhile, must point moral.
1t is hard to imagine a phase
of this subject Mrs. Adams
has not covered. Now on the
faculty of the University Of
Redlands, she is a former ele-
mentary school teacher, the
author of stories for children
and a grandmother.
There is data for parents and
teachers in this history OF
children's literature. Parents
interested in building a good
library for their children will
