At the same time, the Labor
Departments Bureau of Labor

one-tenth of / per ent'national
rise during the month.
The local retail food price in
dex was 3.4 per cent higher than
that of a year ago. 1t rose to
1894 per cent of the 1947-1949
average, which means it takes
about "a cents more to buy what
could be purchased for a dollar
10 years ago.
While national living costs
continued to rise, Bureau Com
missioner Evan Clague pointed
out it was the smallest July in
crease since 1854.
Rise Called Seasonal
Mr.. Clague called the rise
seasonal and predicted an over
all stability persisting "for six
months, maybe a year"
The advance in July resulted
mostly from increased cost of
transportation, which account

Lets Out Secret
ALI the jewels-which in
clude the priceless Cullinan
diamonds and the Koh-I-Nor
diamond-were safe, of course.
But, in revealing what hap
pened, the governor let out a
secret of the security arrange
mentS surrounding the gem COLI
lection, viewed annually by
more than 100000 persons.
When Brig. Weller broke an
electric eye beam, the burglar
alarm went of at the tower and
in Scotland Yard.
The recorded voice alarm is
similar to hunreds Of others in
London. Instead of just clang-
ing, it announces the address
of the alarm.
Capt. Blood, a daring robber,
almost got away with the gems.
Dressed as clergyman, he and
two associates gained entrance
to the jewel house in the 18th
century.
With a few well-directed
blows they knocked out the
guards and pocketed some Of
the gems. They dropped half
their booty though as they gall
loped of on waiting horses.
They were overtaken and all
but the Black Princes ruby
were recovered. Later this was
found in the pocket Of one of
the gang.
Two hundred years later a
woman got her hand through
the steel bars and the glass
and tried to yank out one of
the many-jeweled crowns.
Guards caught her. They
found her hand badly cut and
the crown slightly scratched.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Aug. % (AP) dag Hammar-

1t will be his ninth peace

Safeguards to Integrity
The plan promises to safe

Mr.. Hammarskjold also was
asked to make plans for eco

Secretary of State Dulles

presidential veto Of the In
dependent Ofices appropriation
bill. The House approved the
new bill minutes after it was
reported to the floor again to-
day by the House Appropria-
tons Committee. 1t now goes
to the Senate.
Included was $14 million for
the construction Of a six-story
Federal Office just west Of the
Health, Welfare and Education
Department. A $1.2 million
item would pay for planning
another building for presi-
Dental aides on jackson place
across from the White House.
Previously Passed
The two items previously
we're passed by both the Senate
and the House in the hide
pendent Offices money bill.
President Eisenhower vetoed
the measure because Congress
had allowed $3.50 million the
President did not want for the
Civil Service Retirement Fund.
The two buildings were the
only survivors of an eight
building program outlined to
Congress for Washington by
President Eisenhower at the
beginning of the session.
General Services Administra-
ton spokesman said today bids
for the $14 million structure
would be advertised in Novem-
Der or December. The building
should be occupied by the end
Of 1861.
Many of the Federal en-
ployes who work there will
come from temporary buildings
being razed.
Triangular Block
The new office site is a tri-
angular block bounded by
Maryland avenue, Fourth and
C streets S.W. 1t is part of both
private and Government plans
for redeveloping Southwest
Washington.
The $1.2 million should cover
costs of planning and design
for the Jackson place building.
Government builders hoped to
start construction by 1861. This
building was strongly urged by
President Eisenhower to house
the White House staff, as well
as the United States Court of
Claims and the Veterans Ad-
miriistration.
The building hit a snag be-
cause it's site is partly occu-
pied by the headquarters OF
the National Grange, at 744
Jackson place NV. But the
grange now has agreed to move
around the corner onto land
now used for parking on H
street NV. Ground will be
broken for the Grange build
