Cost Of Livinq
Increases .2%
| Million Workers
To Get Paw Ruise

Living costs in April rose two
tenths of l per cent, the Bureau
of Labor Statistics announced
today For about one million
workers whose pay rises with the
cost of living, this will mean
a one-cent-an-hour increase.
At the same time, BIS re-
ported that the average factory
workers take-home pay and the
amount of goods and services
it could buy set new records for
the month of April. even though
the April figure was 81 cents
less than the average March
take-home pay. This was be-
cause of the Seasonally shorter
April work-week.
Auto Workers Benefit
The two-tenths of per cent
rise in consumers prices was
caused by what BIS called "a
seasonal pattern" in higher
fresh fruit prices. Workers with
"escalator clauses" in their con-
tracts will find a penny-an hour
more in their pay envelopes, as
a result, in the first pay period
in June. About | million en-
ployes in the auto, aircraft. farm
equipment and some other in
'dustries will be affected.
Most auto workers will get a
total of Z cents hourly increases
in June. made up Of the one
cent adding living cost allow
ance. plus a negotiated increase
of cents.
The rise in food prices in the
Nation did not affect them in
the District of Columbia. where
the average remained unchanged
between March and April. Sub
stantial increases in meat. po-
tato and fresh fruit prices were
nearly offset by lower prices of
fresh tomatoes. dairy products
and eggs. The Washington food
index was l.3 per cent below
the April 1855 level.
Prospect for Summer
Evan Clague. commissioner of
labor statistics said that the
prospect for the summer months
is a further gradual increase in

cline for some consumer items

being pushed to fill the near
vacuum of hospital facilities in
the Southeast and Southern
Prince Georges areas, according
to the Greater Southeast Com
munity Hospital Foundation, Inc
Ernest j. Read, foundation
president, pointed out the site
is located near three major ar
teries; Alabama avenue, South
Capitol street and Nichols ave-
nue., making it accessible to the
entire area.
Tentative plans call for the
hospital to be built in the north
east corner Of the intersection
and is expected to be a rambling
type of structure. The tract is
large enough to accommodate a
nursing home, as recommended
recently by the local Hill Burton
Advisory Council, which allocates
certain Federal funds for medi-
cal facilities.
Z0ning Required
The price of the land was un-
disclosed, and it was understood
the final sale is dependent upon
coming and architectural tech
nicalitieS. These are expected to
be ironed out shortly.
Miss Marie T. Wahler, of 1906
Wheeler road Sc, spokesman
for the family that owns the
tract. declared it has been in
the possession of the family
since the Civil War, when her
grandfather, Franz Waller,
bought it.

vice president of the foundation,
said the hospital will be the
Joint effort of citizens of both
Southeast Washington and
nearby Prince Georges County.
He pointed out the trend has
been for hospitals to move away
from downtown areas toward
the perimeter of the city.
However. he declared, the
movement here has been toward
the Northwest and Northeast,
leaving the area to be served by
the new hospital in a vacuum.
Funds Coming In
He said many business, pro-
fessional and civic groups al
ready have contributed toward
the hospitals building fund.
Last night, the Oxon Hill Lions
Club met in the Providence
Methodist Church in Friendly.
Md, to turn over a 1000 check
to Mr.. Read.
Mr.. McDonough declared that,
by the time the hospital is COM
pleted, the District probably will
have cut Wheeler road through
as an improved highway to st.
Barnabas road. Southern avenue,
he said, will probably be cut all
the way through, too, drastically
cutting down travel time from
all nearby areas to the hospital.
The foundation has been in
corporated under District law as
a non-prof1t organization. and
contributions to it will be tax
deductible.
The group is expected to apply
