Dear Friends:

miles from home it would have been
relatively simple to have accom-
plished it. We were so tempted.
And too, Hayes has always had fun
teasing his sister, Sara Dickerson
Kirby, but the repercussions would
have vibrated. all the way back to
us here I'm sure. This morning
Hayes wanted to call his sis tthe
family's own private r. NJ and
tell her I had just received trip
lets. Twins have always been a
possibility in our family since my
grandmother, Jennie Lynch Town
send was a twin. Why not make the
news worth the long distance phone
call and tell them a real whopper.
The reason we didn't go on with
this mirth was simple enough. When
we do call Sara we want her to hop
the next Airliner out to the mid
west and we don't want to cry
wolf.

LIVING COSTS DIP

Newspaper headlines recently carried
stories of the living cost decrease in August
on the front pages. For the first time in
some two years the Department of Labor re-
ported that living costs had declined.
While the decline amounted to only two
tenths of one percent, ii was significant, be
cause it reversed trend which has contin-
ued for several years. The main reason for
the downturn was lower food prices, al
though apparel prices also fell.
The fact that the cost of living dropped
twO-tenthS of one percent in August should
not be considered significant. Food prices
often drop in the late summer, when vege-
tables and fruits are plentiful, and therefore
the decrease in food prices is not symbolical
of trend. Moreover the general trend in
the u. S. economy at the moment is one of
rising living costs, and we do not hesitate to
go on record as predicting that the cost of
living will increase in the months ahead.
1t is good, of course, to see the cost of
living Decline even for one month, or even
for two-tenths of one percent. However, one
should remember that the cost of living today
is still very high, and reached an all-time
high in July-at an index figure of 1889. In
other words. living costs in August although
down slightly, were still much higher than
they have ever been.
And in the last two years, although we
were supposedly in recession most of this
time, living costs have declined in only two
months, and have held steady in only two
months. The last decline was in August of
1856, also a late summer month, when food
costs were factor in the decline.
Therefore. we strongly suspect that liv-
ing costs will increase again, and will prob
ably increase more in the next six months
than they have in the past six. 1t seems we
are in for round of imitation, whether we
like if or not

FUN WITHOUT MISCHIEF

A long time ago, it was thought that all
sorts of mischievous spirits walked abroad
on Halloween. There is a faint echo of this
belief even in our day, when children cavort
in bizzare costumes intended to chill the be-
holder.
But Halloween has also benin modern
times, at least-a night for gaiety as well as
mischief. AS recently as generation ago,
the merrymaking and mischief were so inter-
mixed that it was hard to tell where one
left off. School boys engaged in pranks that
ranged from such innocent fun as taking
off garden gates to wilder stunts that often
caused injuries and property damage. In
many a town, Halloween was night to nail
down anything movable and keep sharp
eye out for prowlers.
Thinps have tanned down some, in recent
wears. Children have as much fun as they
ever had, but smashing and despoiling are
rn longer the thing to do We like it better

sters. Have fun, kidsi

FACTS ABOUT NUCLEAR POWER


Going by some of the political charges one
hears, an uniformed person would be justi-
fed in believing that the electric utilities of
this country have turned a cold shoulder to
the production of power from nuclear energy.
The critics who intimate this always add that
the only way out is through government
crash program of socialized nuclear energy
development, at stratospheric cost to the
taxpayers.
Therefore, a little factual history is in
order
Private enterprise was not allowed to de-
velop nuclear power until 1854. when Con-
gress passed the necessary enabling law. In
the four subsequent years. private enterprise
has undertaken Is .auclear plant construction
projects involving a utility company invest
ment of more than $500 million. Three of
these plants are now in operation: six are
under construction or contract, and the re-
naming six are in various stages of plann-
ing.
Furthermore, the utilities have under
taken IL other nuclear research, development
and study projects calling for continuing
expenditures of additional large sums of
money. Some of these IL are expected to lead
into nuclear power plant construction
Finally, interest in nuclear energy is not
confined to a few utilities. AS of late date,
123 of the comnanies were participating in
one or more of the 27 projects, and still
others are involved in independent studies.
This, it should be remembered, is what
is going on in a new and almost Incredibly
complex field of enterprise which is still
filled with mysteries and unknowns. All kinds
of problems, both economic and scientific,
remain to be solved. No man can say with
certainty, for instance, what type or types
of reactors can safely produce nuclear power
at minimum cost. The utilities are determined
to find out-and they will.

SAFE HUNTING

The season for hunting has begun and,
unless 1858 is an exception to previous years,
the newspapers will report numerous in
stances involving the wounding or killing of
hunters by accident.
Nearly every community in the nation
has, at one time or another, experienced
the sense of futile grief which follows a
tragedy in the field The accident could have
been avoided in most instances.
Despite the knowledge that firearms are
dangerous, human beings often take a chance
and by, so doing, take the life of someone
else. We have seen several collections of
safety rules designed to warn hunters of
danger. The following eleven deserve study
by all those who plan to take to the fields and
woods in search of game:
ID Never carry loaded guns in automobiles
or other vehicles.
~ When afeld, hunting birds keep a.
breast of your companion.
(3) In loading, never point a gun in the
direction of your companion.
(4) In climbing over stone walls and fences
first break or unload your gun.
90 A bird quartering to the right in the
vicinity of your companion should
never be fired on by a hunter on the
extreme left
(6) Never leave loaded gun standing
against tree or lying on the ground
where dog may get at it.
Cd Always keep your gun pointed away
from your companion when yon stop
to talk.
(8) In handing a gun to person for in
spection, be sure it is unloaded.
(9) Never shoot in the direction of your
companion because you consider your
self a good marksman. You will be
taking dangerous chance.
QO) Carry a gun pointed down to the
left. If you shoot left-handed, walk
at the extreme right of your COM
panion.
(11) At all times, be careful

u. Warns 7 Nations
In Iceland Fishing Row

The allied diplomatic sources

it clear to both sides any sea
clashes might rock NATO and
benefit only Russia.
The Americans are neither
mediating nor playing an active
role in the quest for a settle
ment of the quarrel, they said,
United States ships do not fish

This search has been engag-
ing the urgent attention of
NARO diplomats. A compro-

mats said last night.

About 100 British trawlers
will be sailing for Icelandic wa
tiers within the next two weeks.
Arrangements have been made
for British Royal Navy gun
boats to protect them after the

that a navy-backed intrusion
within the 12-mile zone would
be considered an act of war.

doubtedly will dot won't
stop there. Postal employe
leaders as well as Capitol Hill
observers feel that. in addition
to making the as per cent pay
raise permanent, Congress win
vote an additional postal pay
increase In the bargain.
The reason for this is plain,
Whenever Congress decides to
take UP pay raise legislation,
1t invariably increases Federal
pay. And since it is virtually
committed to take UP the
postal salary situation in 1860,
this augurs well for postal
workers-and classified en-
ployes also.

Bridges Assoils
u. S. Arms Aid
To Indonesiu
By the Associated Press


Senator Bridges, Republican
Of New Hampshire, last night
assailed the State Department
for agreeing to provide military
aid to Indonesia.
"It is shocking to me-and
I am sure it is shocking to the
American people," said Senator
Bridges, chairman of the Sem
ate G. o. P. Policy Committee
but a frequent critic of admin
istration foreign policy.
He told the Senate:
cit is no secret the Sukarno
regime permitted Communists
to hold government Office. 1t is
no secret the Sukarno govern
ment received tanks, fighter
planes, and bombers from Mos
COW puppets and allies; namely.
Poland, Czechoslovakia an d
YugoSlav1a.
Nov that the Sukarno re-
gime apparently has crushed
his anti Communist opposition,
the United States Government
apparently is acting to shore
up the Sukarno regime"
He referred to an agreement
announced Tuesday by the
State Department for selling
military equipment to Indone-
STA, which Senator Bridges
termed a socalled neutralist
country.
Senator Bridges said the
people are entitled to "a full
explanation Of the reasons i'm
polling the administration to
decide to ship military aid to
Sukarno." He demanded to
know the extent of the aid and
the scope of assistance under
consideration for the future.

that OF postal employe leaders
hope to pave the way for an
other round Of pay raises in
1850.
And since the pay Of classi-
ned employees is always tied to
that of postal workers, 1t would
mean another pay raise for
classified workers in 1860 as
we'll.
OF course, any prediction re-
gsfding 1860 must Of necessity
be long-range one. But If liv-
ing costs don't decline, you can
expect another classified and
postal employe pay raise drive
in 1860.
Postal employee leaders feel
that the situation is made to
order for them on another pay
raise.
Here is the background:
Owing to a legislative tech
nicality, 2.5 per cent of the
postal workers 10 per cent
raise was made temporary by
Congress.
Then, when classified en-
ployes were voted a permanent
10 per cent raise, Congress was
perfectly willing to rush through
a bill making permanent the
entire 10 per cent raise for pos
tai workers.
But postal employe leaders
did not want this to happen.
They asked their friends in
Congress to hold of.
STRATEGY-The way postal
employee leaders reason is this:
BY leaving 2.5 per cent of
their pay raise on a temporary
basis, it gives postal employees
a perfect opportunity to go be-
fore Congress in 1860 and ask
that the pay raises be made
permanent-and then some.
In other words, when Con-
greSs moves to make the rs
per cent permanent-as it I'M

pressed disappointment "that
the Congress has thus far failed
to enact legislation to curb the
racketeering, corruption and
abuses of trust and power
which he said the Senate Rack
cts Committee has found tc
exist in the labor-management
field.
81 still hope that before ad-
journment the Congress will
pass a labor bill which will ef-
fectively protect the working
men and women of our coun-
try" Mr.. Eisenhower added.
Secretary Of Labor Mitchell
also made an appeal for action
before Congress goes home,
perhaps this week end.
HalIeck Not Hopeful
But Representative Halleck
of Indiana, a House Republican
leader, said in an interview:
"I'm afraid under the cir
cumstanceS nothing will be

House Speaker Rayburn,
Democrat of Texas, had nc
comment. Neither did Chair
man Barden of the House La
Dor Committee.
Senator Williams, Republican
of Delaware, said Congress
should remain in session until
it can pass legislation to drive
criminals out Of positions of
trust in labor unions.
Representative Udall, Demo-
crat Of Arizona, said that "if
either the President or Mitchell
had spoken up Monday, we'd
have a bill today"

sored by Senators Kennedy,

Labor Takes
Dim View Of
US. Economy

| FOREST PARK, Pa, Aug
III (AP).-AFL-CIO leaders
said today there may be pros
Iperity again on Wall street, but
flor unemployed millions the re-
cession remains a stark reality
The labor union chiefs took
a gloomy view of the Nations
economic outlook particularly
because Of what they said is a
return by President Eisenhow-
er's' administration to q tight
money policy.
Statements approved by the
AFL-CIO leaders criticized q
recent Federal Reserve Board
action pointing toward higher
Interest rates. They said In
lcreased interest rates may
plunge the economy into q
sharp new decline.
The federation's Executive
Council, meeting here, predict
led continuing heavy unemploy-
ment for the next u to ia
months. Unemployment TO-
tailed 5.S million in July, or
7.S per cent Of the labor force.

leaders said.
Main Job
1.-THE major job is to get
America back to work as quick
ly as possible, to full employ
ment and full use of productive
capacity to meet the needs Of q
growing population"
The AFL-CIO economic
statement said the administra-
ton should quit worrying about
initiation and launch bold new
policies to spur business and
government spending, and stim-
ulate purchasing power.
! Members of the council
meanwhile, prepared for a hud-
die with Secretary Of Labor
Mitchell.
George Meany, AFL-CIC
president, said in advance he
expected to bawl out Mr.
Mitchell for opposing a general
labor bill which the House
killed last Monday.
Endorsed Senate Bill
The AFL-CIO had Endorsed
that Senate-passed bill as con-
structive toward helping rid
unions and management of cor
Eruption.
President Eisenhower yester-
day labeled the defeated bill as
inadequate and asked Congress
to try to pass an acceptable
measure before adjournment
Mr.. Mitchell took a similar
stand.
The Federation council yes
terday ordered the Interna-
tional Union of Operating En-
IyineerS, target of Senate Rackets
Committee corruption charges,
to carry out reforms in its New
ark, Philadelphia, Chicago and
Long Island, N. Y, locals or
