1t was the Vice President who

the fact.

1t earned him a laugh. This
display of magnanimity toward
his defeated rival for the nomi-

pose. Suddenly, the whole fight

This. however, was not Mr..
Nixon's only distinction at the
1856 Republican convention. The
speech which he delivered here
yesterday is probably unique
among political documents of the
modern age. 1t was certainly
unique among the speeches that
preceded it at the Cow Palace in
the course of the past week.

yesterday by an FBI agent and
a Nassau County policeman.
The FBI entered the case seven
days after Peter was kidnapped
on the assumption the baby had
been taken across State lines.
Because the infant was not
transported across a State line,
the FBI turned La Marca over
to Nassau County authorities for

The FB1 no longer has to wait
seven days to enter a kidnapping

Congress adopted a bill making

Cost Of Livinq
Rises Again
5th Gain in Row
Brings Pay Boosts
BY FRANCIS P. DOUCLAS


The cost of living, pushing up
ward for five consecutive months,
hit another new high in July,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics
announced today.
The bureau said it's consumer
price index jumped z of / per
cent from June to July. June
previously had registered a
record high on the index.
The increase will mean wage
increases from 3 to S cents an
hour for about 1.25 million
workers whose contracts are
geared to the Consumer Price
Index. Those affected are auto
aircraft and agricultural
implement workers.
The inf1ationary trend, with
rising prices and a decline in the
value of the dollar-a decline of
about l cent in the last two
months-was countered yester-
day by an increase in the lend
ing rate of four Federal Reserve
Banks.
Discount Rates Up
The Federal Reserve Board
announced a boost in the dis
count rates of the New York.
Richmond, Philadelphia and
Chicago banks from 234 per cent
to 3 per cent. The 3 per cent
rate had already been reached by
the Minneapolis and San Fran
cisco Banks. The other banks in
the system, at Boston, Cleveland.
Atlanta, st. Louis, Kansas City
and Dallas are expected to GO
from ga per cent to 3 per cent
shortly.
The 8 per cent rate is the
highest since 1888. The current
increases are the sixth in 16
months. Before April, 1855, a
112 per cent rate ruled. The dis
count rate is the rate of interest
banks pay when borrowing from
Federal Reserve Banks.
Up Steadily Since March
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
said its consumr price index in
July stood at lit per cent of the
1947-49 average. This repre-
sented an increase of 2 per cent
in a year. Beginning with March,
the index each month registered
an increase over the previous
month. The June index also was
Z OF l per cent over May.
With higher prices for foods
an important factor in the June
to July increase, the prices of
other major classes of goods and
services also advanced.
The price increases for fresh
fruits and vegetables carried the

The Future
BY GOULD LINCOLN

STAR CONVENTION BU-
REAU. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug.
24.-President Dwight D. Eisen-
hover today stands committed
to a campaign for reelection as
the candidate of "the party of
the future" dedicated to cru
SADIE for world peace.
Accepting his nomination at
the Republican National Conven-
ton last night, before cheering
thousands in the huge Cow Pal
ace, the President said he did
so "humbly but confidently"
II pledge you my best efforts
to bring victory to our cause next
November" the President told
the delegates. Ruddy of face and
looking like a Million" the
Chief Executive predicted tri-
umph for the party and seemed
entirely capable of making q
hard campaign.
Praise for Nixon
Mr.. Eisenhower gave complete
Endorsement finally to Vice Pres
ident Nixon, telling the delegates,
ut is a great satisfaction that
the team you selected in 1852
you kept intact for this CAM
paign. This is no eulogy for Mr..
Nixon. But whatever dedica-
ton to country, loyalty and pa
Itriotism will do for America, he
will do. That I know"
His tribute to Mr.. Nixon
brought cheers.
The President received a ire
mendous reception from his au-
dience. There was nothing staged
about it; no need for cheer lead
ers.
When the Chief Executive &C
companied by Mrs. Eisenhower,
entered the hall there was one
great surge of sound. The dele
gates followed his speech with
closest attention, and interrupted
I it time and again with applause.
The Presidents sallies at the
Democratic Party and its leaders
aroused particular reaction, es-
pecially when he declared that
some Of the Republican Party's
opponents have charged that the
G. o. P. is a one interest party,
and added: Indeed it is a one
interest party, and that is the
interest of all the people,"
Cause of Peace
1.-THE Republican Party is the
party of the future" the Presi-
dent said, and went on to stress
his point in his discussion of
domestic problems. He placed a
major emphasis on the need Of
committing the party to the
cause Of peace.
"a party of the future" the
President declared, must be
completely dedicated to peace, as
indeed must all Americans. For
without peace there is no future"
At the outset, Mr.. Eisenhower
said the G. o. P.-the party Of
Lincoln, is "the party of long
range principle, not short term
expediency."
"One of my predecessors" he
declared, lis said to have OBJ
served that in making his de-
icisions he had to operate like a
football quarterback. He could

Sitting with Mr.. Menzies were
delegates representing a cross
section of powers directly con-
cerned with freedom of naviga-
ton in the canal-the United

Emerging from the first pri-
vate meeting. Mr.. Menzies was
close mouthed. He told newsmen,
1T is so tremendously important
that 1 feel we shall all behave

Dulles Joins in Talks
Secretary of State Dulles took
part in the deliberations shortly
before his scheduled departure
to return to Washington.
The majority's proposal,
shaped at the 22-nation con-
ference, is that Egypt, which ma
tionalized the canal July 26,
should turn its operation over
Ito an international board on
which she would be represented.
The French stepped up mill
tary preparations in case Egypt
turned down the idea. But
French Foreign Minister Chris
Itian Pineau. back in Paris from
the conference, said even if that
happened, further talks would
Iprecede any thought of using
force.
He was asked if force would be
brought into play in case Col.
Nasser rejected the proposal. He
replied in English: THE ques-
ton of force is not yet (sic). We
will have new conversations"
Mr.. Pineau hurried to report
on the London conference at an
extraordinary meeting of French
leaders with President Rene Coty
presiding.
Soviet Communist Leader Nj
kita S. Khrushchev has said that
in case of war over the canal,
the Arabs would have help.
French Troops Readied
Frances cabinet was called
into session to consider what
action to take if Col. Nasser does
turn down the WeSt-sponsored
proposal. Reports from Paris
said troops were being readied
for transport across the Medi-
terranean. warships had been
sent to sea on "maneuvers," and
several air squadrons had been
regrouped for possible movement.
Special paratroop units were
reported being assembled in AL
geria. where the bulk of Frances
armed forces is already fighting
nationalist rebels.
The West apparently pinned
its hopes on the view of some
that Col. Nasser has indicated a
conciliatory attitude-so long as
any move does not involve the
surrender of Egyptian SOW
ereignty.
One expressing hope was In
donesian Foreign Minister Rus
Ian Abdulgani. Planning to see
Col. Nasser on the way home,
