This period Of relative inactiv-

nations who are commanding

forward. Two practical moves
are necessary. however, before
U. f. troops can advance.
First, U, N. strength must be
built up to what looks like a
significant level. Actually a few
hundred U. N. soldiers could dc

already see victory ahead, it is
believed here.
No one here among the U. N.
force or among outside observers
doubts that British, French or
Israeli leaders have any choice
but to pull out of Egypt.

Cost Of LIVING

SO Prices Up Again
For Fourth Time

The cost of living advanced
one-half of / per cent between
September and October and
reached new record high. the
Bureau Of Labor Statistics an
nounced today.
This was the fourth time this
year a new record had beer set.
The consumer price index in
American cities in October stood
at the record level of 1l7.7 (the
1947-49 average equals 100 on
the scale). The october figure
was "a per cent higher than a
year ago.
The new record was eStab-
lished despite practically UNI
changed food prices. Prices of
other major groups of goods and
services advanced and there was
a sharp rise in average prices
for automobiles as some 1857
models were introduced.
Food Prices Drop
In the Washington area alone
retail food prices dropped IL per
cent between September and Oc-
tober. This decrease followed a
rise Of IL per cent in the previ-
Gus month. Lower prices for
fresh fruits were primarily re-
sponSible for the october decline.
The fruit and vegetable index
in the Washington area went
down ga per cent but the lower
prices were partially Offset by a
297 per cent rise in the price of
tomatoes. Prices of ham and
pork chops declined So per cent
and ga per cent respectively.
Prices also were lower for beef
but frying chicken prices were

Troops by Sea
InvodersOpen
Port Said, but
Stay in Egypt

PORT SAID, Egypt. Nov. 26
lR.-A British-French decision
to let U. N. police force units
enter the Suez Canal zone by
sea as well as by air promised
today to speed the buildup Of
the Middle East peace patrol But
there still was no agreement on
plans to replace the invaders with
u. N. troops.
The decision to throw open
Port Said to ships bringing IN
additional U. N. units was made
at the request Of Maj. Gen. E. L,
M. Burns, commander OF the po-
lice force. He conferred here
with British and French officers
during four-hour flying trip
from Cairo.
Thus far the troops have peen
flown in by Swiss airliners from
the crowded staging base at
ICapodichino, near Naples, Italy.
They have been landing in small
units at Abu Suweir near Is.
MALTA on the Egyptian side of
the cease fire line.
YugOslavS TO Be First
The first seaborne units will be
700 Yugoslay troops, expected to
land here Thursday. they wul
land from three Yugoslav ships.
1t. Gen. Sir Hugh Stockweli.
commander OF the British
French invasion force, told news
men the Yugoslavs would not re-
main in the northern third of
the canal zone held by the Brit
ish and French but would cross
the cease-fire line to the Egyp-
tian side. The bulk of the u. N.
force is standing by on that SIDE,
at Abu Suweir. awaiting arrange
ments for them to take over from
the British and French.
Gen. Stockwell said Gen.
Burns indicated he would attend
later conferences here to discuss
the U.N. buildup. The British
general said a role for the U. N.
troops in Port Said-now only
1870 Norweigans who came by
train from Abu Suweir-was
discussed with Gen. Burns.
We are examining how pos.
sibly to give them a little area
of the town which they would be
responsible for" Gen. Stockwell
said.
He added that a plan to have
the U. N. troops join British and
French soldiers in patrols has
been abandoned. This apparently
was in keeping with efforts by
allied and U.N. leaders to avoid
any appearance of determination
among the troops which might
compromise the U.N. troops
neutral role.
YugOslav Instruction Denied
In Belgrade, Borba, the official
newspaper of President Tito's
Communist Party. denied anoth-
Ter report that Yugoslav troops at
Abu Suweir had been openly in
structing Egyptian soldiers in the
use of military equipment. Borba
called the report slanderous,
while declaring that it was com
pletely natural that our soldiers
were warmly received by the
Egyptians" a
U. N. forces at Abu Suweir
reached more than 1000 over
the week end, and other arrivals
were expected soon. The camp
on the Egyptian side of the line
may soon be bursting at the
seams unless a decision is
reached quickly on assignment
OF the growing force.
