CHICAGO. Feb. 90 R.-The rise in
grain futures prices this week was
credited by traders more. to develop
ments in washington than to any
economic factor.
In reality. they said. there seemed
fairly general inclination to ignore
some of the bearish facts Of life, such
as prospective demand and sources OF
supply, However, the cold weather
export business were at least strong
influences. If not the major ones.
Indeed, the sharpest single advance
Of the week was made on Monday and
was ascribed to considerable amounts
of export business and the weather.
but other gains were added along the
way which were powered partly by
news from Washington, as well as
other influences.

effects on the market.
One was revival by Congressmen for
action on q bill to freeze farm prices

other was the renewal Of action by
some Midwestern Republican Congress-

Basic scientific research Is
now being carried forward at
the Bureau of Standards here
that business will translate into
new consumer products to-
morrow.
Not only Government scien-
fists. but also those from pri-
vate industry detailed at the
bureau, join in this enterprise.
These new products. which will
grow out of new knowledge.
will give a shot in the arm to
business and benefit the whole
economy.
Current research bears on
measurements that are vital in
missiles, supersede aircraft and
other scientific advances.
Proper standards for color tele-
vision is another field that is
receiving attention.
Industry donates directly
about 100000 annually for re-
search in broad fields at the
bureau. In addition. some 80
research men. scientists, engi-
neers and administrative per-
sonnet, from private enterprise
are studying at the bureau.
carrying on various projects
that will aid wide phases Of
business.
Facilities Available
These men use the extensive
facilities of the bureau, tap its
experience and their results
benefit the whole industry and
ultimately the consumer. The
bureau will not sponsor a mar
row project to solve some par
ticular problem of a manufac-
turer. Its appeal must be wide
spread.
The Bureau of Standards
does not work directly on prod

Costly Youngsters

Joe and Ruth, close friends
Of mine, are in the upper-mid-
die income bracket. Joe'S job
is about as secure as a job can
be: he was given an impressive
salary increase in 1857, he owns
a charming. not too heavily
mortgaged home in the sub
urbs; he has two cars.
Joe ana Ruth also have three
children-two girls, ages five
and eight, and one boy going
on IL.
Because the children they've
had since World War II are
now at these ages:
The food bills in their home
are skyrocketing to figures that
Ruth says, "give me the shakes
every time I phone the meat
market or walk by a cookie and
cake counter"
The clothing bills in their
home are going up in perpen-
dicular line.
Repair Bills Climb
Their gas, oil and auto re-
pair bills are climbing by the
month.
The budget for books, rec
ords. music lessons, day camps,
what-have-you is rising.
The dentist bill is threaten
ing to reach towering pro-
portions.
Joe and Ruth haven't turned
in either of their cars for new
models since 1855, and Joe in
sists he doesn't know when he'll
accumulate enough free cash
to get back in step with the
JoneSeS.
Ruth hasn't bought a new
kitchen appliance since 1856,
and although she wants a lot
of new furnishings for their
home, she is resigning herself
to modest decorating changes.
Both parents. in short, have
cut back on their purchases of
expensive hard goods because
so much more of their income
is going into expensive pur-
chases of soft goods and
services.
Both are drastically revising
their buying patterns. not be-
cause they want to do so, but
simply because the financial
strain of their growing chill
dren is forcing them to do so.
The story Of Joe and Ruth
is being repeated all over the
country today at about every

States Attorney Alger Y.
Barbee this week said that the
hit-run death of a young
mother and her child in mid
June this year, was "the
worst and most atrocious case
of the use Of an automobile in
the recent history of Mont
gomery County"
In stating this view before two
Circuit Court judges, Barbee
served notice that the States case
against Joseph P. Goughan, 80
year-old steelworker from Penn
sylvania, will be vigorously tried.
Goughan, free on $4,000 bond,
will stand trial next month. An
attempt by his attorney to have
the case removed to another ju-
risdiction failed.
Goughan is charged with a sew

of common-law manslaughter;
two counts of manslaughter by
auto; leaving the scene of an ac-
cident; reckless driving; driving
under the influence of alcohol.
He is accused of running down

Mechanic Accused of Drunk Driving

A 33-year-old auto mechanic,
out of work the last four months,
was jailed Monday night after he
repeatedly sideswiped a car in
Rockville, left the scene, and half
an hour later, ran his car into
a ditch on the wrong side of Veirs
Mill I'd.
Accused in the double mishap
was William Thomas Griffin, who
lives with his grandmother on
Maple ave-, Kensington. County
police at Rockville charged Grif-
fin with making an improper
turn, leaving the scene of an ac-
cident, reckless driving and with
being under the influence of al
cohol.
A police magistrate set a pre-
liminary hearing for Griffin on
January 8 in Rockville Peoples
Court.
Police gave this account of the
incident: Griffin, they said, was
driving north on North Washing
ton St, Rockville, when he made
a right turn onto East Middle la.
and struck the car of Walter M.
Baker, Cleveland and Ridge drs.,
Rockville, who was headed in a
westerly direction on Middle la.
Police said Griffin failed to stop
his 1948 sedan which inflicted
about $50 damage to Bakers car.
Police broadcast a description
of the car and its license plates
Investigating a call for a car in
a ditch half an hour later, they
found Griffin's auto in a ditch

Rain Heading
For Records
July TotuI Amount:
To sos Inches

More rain expected to hit
Washington later today could
break several records for pre-
cipitation in an already water
logged area.
Last nights precipitation of
90 of an inch raised the July
rainfall here to sos inches,
with the month not half over,
the Weather Bureau reported.
These records are likely to
tumble with the next heavy
rain:
The record month Of rain,
fall for 1858, March, now leads
with a total of 5.85 inches:
The average rainfall for July
is 4.26 inches. WetteSt month
generally is August, which av-
erages ATS inches. Every drop
that falls breaks these marks.
The contrast this year with
last is clearcut. July, 1857,
was the drieSt month of the
year with los inches. If the
rain in the second half of this
month is as heavy as it has
been so far, the record fall for
any July-10.63 inches in 1886
will be surpassed.
But wet as it has been, this
month has a long way to GO
to equal the all-time wettest
month yer recorded here.
That ". 17.45 inches in Sep
tember of 1884.
Tomorrow will be clearing
