Prices Rise
O.7%; Drought
Held Factor

The national consumer price
index for July rose to 1852. the
Bureau Of Labor Statistics re-
ported today, representing an
increase of one-tenth of / per
cent over June and bringing an
automatic 1-cent increase in pay
for employed members of the
United Auto Workers Union
CIO).
A union spokesman said it
would be impossible to estimate
the total money involved be-
cause of heavy layoffs in the. in
dustry. But he said it would
increase the cost-of living al
lowance for those working from
6 to z cents an hour.
The bureau said the principal
factor in the index rise was the
cost of food. which rose or per
cent during July. Housing, med
ical care, personal care and read
ing and recreation also rose
slightly.
Higher food prices we're re-
ported in all but nine Western
cities, the bureau said. Central
and Eastern cities felt the
drought in increased prices for
fruits and vegetables.
Residential rents rose 0.2 per
cent on the average, BIS said,
with New York, Chicago, Mime
apolis and Boston leading the
list.
Automobiles and gasoline de-
clined, the bureau said. and sea-
sonal drops occurred in mems
and women's wearing apparel.

.83OBotting Average Claimed
On Eisenhower's Program
Administration at Bot 65 Times
And Got 81 Hits on Legislation, Aide Says

gresS to show the ''boxscore" on
administration bills at any time.
They said these charts were used
during the Presidents weekly
meetings with congressional
leaders.
Sixty-five administration
backed bills were listed, with SO
of them already through Con-
greSs and two expected to be
acted on today--social security
and the postal rate-Federal pay
raise measures.
The II administration meas
ures listed as lost concerned:
Customs evaluation, defense
facilities protection, 18-year-old
voting, foreign economic policy.
Hawaiian statehood, health re-
insurance. medical care for mill
tary dependents, Taft-Hartley
Act amendments, Upper Colorado
project, wiretap evidence, and
public health grant-in-aid
formulas.
The aides said some of these
measures. such as health REIN
surance and foreign economic
policy changes for a gradual de-
crease in tariffs, surely would be
major items in the Presidents
program next year. They made
no attempt to forecast the 1855
legislative program in detail.
Gen. Persons said "it can be
assumed" however, that Gen.
Eisenhower will make another
effort to get through Congress
action to carry out his campaign
promises.
The "box score" on admins
tration bills presented today did
not include routine appropria-
ton measures.
Among the 81 administration
measures listed as passed and
already signed by the President
or awaiting signature are the
farm program, tax revision, the
mutual security program. the
District public works bill, the
debt limit increase and Atomic
Energy Act amendments.
Asked to what he attributed
the administrations high batting
average, Gen. Persons said: eve
had very fine cooperation from
the Republican leadership on
the Hill" He added that the
program was worked out care
fully in conference with the
legislative leaders so there were
mo surprise packages for the
boys on the Hill.

Girl Tennis Player
Missing, Hunt Starts
Rx the Assoeiofed Press

BOSTON, Aug. 20.-Joan Ross
Dilley, "a, fourth ranked North
ern California women's tennis
player. was reported missing to-
day and friends feared she is an
amneSia victim.
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Marshall,
with whom Miss Ross-Dilley had
been staying during the national
doubles tennis championships at
Longwood Cricket Club, said they
had not seen the attractive
blonde since Wednesday.
Miss Ross-Dilley and Helen Rib:
bany of Boston were eliminated
from the tournament in a Sec
ond-round match Tuesday by
Sachicko Kamo of Japan and
Mrs. Grace Jones of New York
and Paris.
Mr.. Marshall, an attorney
whose son Malcolm is married
to Miss Ross-Dilley's twin sister
Jean, said Joan left a note at
his home Wednesday explaining
she had fallen downstairs and
had a severe headache. The
Marshalls advanced the amnesia
theory.
Friends said the girl failed to
appear as planned at dance at
the cricket club Wednesday
night. Miss Rihbany said she
had not seen her since their
losing match.
Miss Ross-Dilley and her sister
represented England in inter-
national tennis matches until
three years ago when they took
residence in Berkeley. Calf.
State police bloodhounds were
used in the search of wooded
areas near the Marshall home in

olated the rules of the game by
openly publicizing the argu-
ments of French Premier Man.
des-France at the opening ses-
sion yesterday. Since then, no
holds have been barred and
from all sides in four different
languages the leaks have
reached torrential, proportions.
No two versions are exactly
the. same. But there are enough
points of agreement to make the
main lines of the conference
clear beyond all reasonable
doubt.
It was plain enough. for in
stance, that Mr.. Mendes-France
in presenting his ideas for
changing the European Defense
Treaty has laid an egg of epic
proportions. The man who not
SO long ago won the support
and confidence of Secretary
Dulles has failed miserably to
win similar Endorsement from
his European colleagues. Dutch
Foreign Minister William Rayen
summed up the mood as he
strode through the hotel lobby
after the French premier's open
ing appeal: 1--WE known Mendes-
France a long time. He's a
charming fellow but he does not
convince me-"
A few moments earlier Mr..
Bayen had slapped down his
French colleague with a sharp
and bitterly worded rejection of
main features of his plan.
Others among Mr.. Mendes-
Frances critics were less chari-
table. Germans, for instance.
let it be known that they ques-
ton the wisdom of changes that
the French Premier proposes but
also his motives. Some gentle
men Of Bonn, it seems, nurture
deepSeateo suspicion OF MendeS-
France. To put it bluntly, they
are inclined to believe his main
objective at Brussels is to Scuttle
edo and that his effort here is
limited to unloading most of the
blame on other members of the
European community.
This version is subscribed to
by few Of the people who know
Mendes-France well or who have
any appreciation of the political
climate in France.
It is, however, an important
factor in this conference and ex-
plains perhaps German pre-oc-
cupation with making a public
record at the risk of seriously
compromising chances of sue
cessful negotiation.
At any rate as five Foreign
Ministers in turn rejected French
proposals, hope of compromise
