Food prices in Washington

The bureau also announced
that the average factory workers
take home pay reached q new

his money.
The bureau announced nc
separate cost OF living figure fol

that retail food prices here
dropped IL per cent between
september and October. Chiefly
responsible for reduced cost OF
food for home consumption were
substantial declines in the cost
Iof fresh meats, poultry. fresh
fruits and vegetables.
The index Of food costs, botf
for home consumption and In

Food Prices Drop Here;
u. S. Foctory Pay at Peak

Ill49 per cent Of the 1s47-49 av-
Ieraye This was unchanged
from September. It was also
three-tenths of / per cent higher
than a year ago, but four -tenths
Iof | per cent below the record
high of October, 1858.
Costs OF transportation and
housing were higher. and there
were slight advances in prices
for medical care and personal
care, But these were counter
balanced by seasonally lower
food prices.
There was a 2.5 per cent drop
in the meats, poultry and fish
group. This brought the index
for these commodities to lll,9,
or less than / per cent above the
1947-l949 average.
The factory workers pay
check rose by more than per
cent from September to the new
record level. Since October,
1854, the weekly take-home pay
has increased by more than SIS.
The bureau said this was the
largest October-to- October gain
reported in the postwar period.
A single workers take-home
pay rose from S59.84 to $64.B5.
For q worker with three depend
ents the increase was SSH. This
boosted his check to $72.18.
The bureau said longer work
weeks was chiefly responsible,
although higher hourly pay also
was a factor.

defense psychiatrists told the

Iof four. found not guilty by rea-
lson Of insanity in the fatal
shooting Of her husbands mis-
Itress, did not testify during her
trial.

probably similar to the Gore bin.
Senator johnson said the ques-

On political matters, Mr..
johnson accused the Republican
Party Of being more responsive
to fiat cats" than to folks. and
he had sharp words for Demo-
Icrats who won't fight for the
lparty's presidential nominees.
An overflow crowd Of 1900
pounded the tables and made
the banquet dishes rattle as they
shouted and whistled approval
when Mr.. Johnson demanded q
Texas Democratic delegation
that would come home from the

|rner and make war on the

The senator said "the smell
Of victory is in the air. and
predicted the Democratic Party
