self today for the greatest DeS
Moines River flood in history.
Efforts of city workers were
centered on a new levee system

The river is expected to rise

The stream cuts through the

Living Costs
DipmDistrict,
Rise in Nation

The cost-of-living index rose
slightly during May in most
cities but declined slightly in
Washington, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics announced today.
The national index for all
items was lis per cent of the
1947-1949 average, the bureau
said, which ruled out any posi-
bility that the Nations rail
workers might lose a cent an
hour in pay.
The national increase. which
halted a downward trend of the
last three months, resulted prin-
cipally from advances of O.S per
cent in food and 0.3 per cent for
housing. Other goods and serv-
ices were substantially un-
changed, the Bureau said.
The Washington decline was
four-tenths of per cent. The
consumer price index for May
stood at 1877 on a scale on
which 1947-49 prices are 100.
The dip was due to lower prices
for clothing, housing, personal
care and recreation and reading
Food prices went up. The bu-
reau said average retail food
prices advanced 1.8 per cent be-
tween February and May to a
level 1.9 per cent higher than
a year ago. Fruits and vege-
tables were up SIS per cent and
meats, poultry and fish rose 1.9
per cent.
There was a drop of 2.9 per
cent in dairy products as a re-
suit of the April l cut in butter
support prices.
Rents for homes went up two
tenths of / per cent between
November, 1858, and May, 1854,
The composite housing index
dropped. however, because Of
lower prices for oil and solid
fuels and some house furnishings
Lower prices reported for tele-
vision sets, sports goods and
