Shopping for the Government
Is This Housewives Specially
BY ALFRED s. EICHNER
Contributing Writer

Contributing Writer
The middle Monday Of
each month Mrs. John Nc
Gregor lays aside her house,
keeping tasks and goes shop
ping for the Government.
The mother of four. Mrs.
McGregor visits IS stores in
the District and checks the
prices on about eight dozen
items. She is one Of two
Washington area women who
do this.
The information which
Mrs. McGregor and her coll
league collect, along with
similar data from nearly 100
other food price checkers
throughout the country. goes
to the Department of Labor.
There, in the Offices of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
this information from 46
American cities of all sizes is
used to produce the monthly
consumer price index, the
Nations chief yardstick for
measuring imitation.
Higher Prices
The index governs certain
labor contracts, long term
rents. royalty payments, PEN
sions and even alimony-any-
thing affected by higher
prices.
Here's how the prices
checked by Mrs. McGregor
become the consumer price
index:
Mrs. McGregor. for exam
pie, may find that the average
price for a 5-pound sack Of
flour in the stores she visits
is 54.3 cents. This price is
compared to the average
price of flour during the
three-year period from l947
to 1949-the base years,
chosen at random for pur-
poses of comparison The
average price of flour during
those years was 48.4 cents
The price has risen So
cents, or 1872 per cent.
If the price index tor -four
between 1947 and 1949 was
1000. then it is now 1872.
Similar calculations are
made for each of the other
So food items, as well as for
70 items of apparel, Sc items
of housing and "a items for
such things as transportation,
medical care, Sonal
grooming, reading and rec
reation.
Prices for the nonfood
items are obtained not by
Mrs. McGregor but by full
time Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics employees.
Not all items which make
up the consumer price index
are equally important. A per-
son spends more money on,
say. pork chops than on
flour. Aware of this, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics
took q survey several years
ago Of representative Ameri-
can households to learn how
much of each dollar they
spend on various items.
The average city family of
four, they learned, spends
8 cents out of each dollar on
pork chops compared to only
IS cents on flour. So the cost
Of pork chops is multiplied
by 9 while the price of -four
is multiplied by Sin this
way the index is properly
weighed.
When all the items of the
index have been weighed and
averaged together, the result
is a consumer price index for
Washington.
In Other Cities
Other indexes are prepared
for other cities. But just as
some food items are more i'm
portant than others, so the
indexes for some cities are
more important than the in
dexes for others.
New York, for example, has
approximately 10 times as

Admiral Rickover replied,
Sure, all Soviet naval vessels

At another point Admiral

"You talk a lot about peace,
Now you can 60 home and do

Later. Admiral Riekover told
Mr.. Kozlov:
Now well see what you know
about engineering. Go ahead
and ask any questions you want
and don't be bashful."
There was no reply from the
Soviet official.
The admiral then gave Mr..
Kozlov a model of a metal fuel
rod and told him:
Don't give it to your Scien-
fists. Keep it for yourself" A
similar rod was also given to
Mikhail Menshikov. the Rus
sian Ambassador to the United
States, who few here to join

Toward the end of the tour
Admiral Rickover told Mr.
Kozlov:
IF you would spend the

atomic expert of you"
Mr.. Kozlov remarked that
an exchange of atomic experts
between the United States and
Russia would be a good idea,
Admiral Rickover agreed, say
ing:
Your specialists would be

telling you everything"
Mr.. Kozlov said:
You won't tell us every

replied:
That's because think, by

Mr.. Kozlov turned directly
