Wholesale Price of Sugar Is Highes In 37 Years

NEW YORK, R - The whole sale price of sugar was raised to- day to the highest level in 37 years.
 The National Sugar Refining Co. of New York, second largest domestic refiner of cane sugar, increased the price 30 cents a hundred pounds for all grades and all types of deliveries. The change is effective Saturday.
 The boost, second in little more than month, puts Nationals price at $970 hundred pounds. In 1923 the price hit $9.80.
 Sugar retails now at 8 to 10 cents a pound.
 The wholesale price rise was attributed by some trade circles to the governments delay in re- storing to the market sugar re- moved by the cut in Cuba's quota.
 Sugar dealers have emphasized that there is little likelihood of a shortage since the world supply is ample.

U. s. Orders Expulsion of Russian Diplomat

WASHINGTON, R - T h e United States today ordered the immediate expulsion of a Soviet diplomat, Peter Y. Ezhov on the grounds he was spy collecting intelligence data, including aerial photographs.
 The State Department said that Ezhov, Soviet Embassy third secretary, "flagrantly abused his diplomatic status by engaging in espionage activity"
 Ezhov paid an American con- mercial photographer, the depart ment said, more than $1,000 for aerial photographs of American cities.
 Informed authorities reported Ezhov carried out some of his in telligence work while Soviet Pre- mier Khrushchev was in the US. on a goodwill visit last Septem- Der.
 A second Soviet diplomat, Cmdr. Vladimir Glinsky, was involved in the same kind of intelligence act ivity, the department said.
 Glinsky's role in setting up the aerial photography apparently came to light after he had all ready left the embassy to return to Moscow. He was an assistant naval attache.

WASHINGTON, R- The cost of living climbed one-fifth of one per cent in June to it's fourth con- secutive high, the Labor Depart ment reported today.
 Food prices-mainly fresh fruit and pork = contributed virtually all the rise, the department said, but gasoline prices helped pro- vide an upward shove.
 The Consumer Price Index reached a level of 126.5 per cent of the 1947-49 average. This was two points higher than year ago and, in percentage terms, repre- sented a drop in the buying power of the dollar more than 112 cents in the past 12 months.

JUNEAU, R-Gov. William A. Egan said today four-man com mittee of Alaska and British Col umbia officials hope to reach ag- reement by October on the route of a proposed new road link be- tween the Canadian province and Alaska.
 In news conference that touched on a variety of subjects, Egan also took Rep, Earl Hill strand D-Anchorage) mildly to task for linking the capital move initiative on the primary election ballot with the 23 million dollar ferry-highway bond issue which will appear on the general cleo ton ballot
 Egan, who just returned from Victoria, B.C., and a meeting of the Alaska International Develop ment Commission with represent atives of British Columbia and the Yukon, said he was very pleased with the results of the meeting.
 Egan said: "There is no con- nection between the capital and the ferry system. Any one who tries to tie them together is just attempting to cloud the issue"
 Hillstrand, chairman of the cap ital site steering committee, the group backing the capital move proposal, was quoted as saying on July IA
 "If they Southeastern Alaska) succeed in keeping the capital, will there be much inclination on the part of western Alaskans to approve of a $15,000,000 borrow ing program to establish their pet project-a ferry sysem?"
 Commenting further on Hill strands statement Egan said:
 If MT. Hillstrand would give the matter a little more thought, I am sure he would realize that his attempts to tie the initiative and the bond issue together rep resents a very poor way to leg iSlate."

Teen-Aqe Charge Accounts

Is teen-age charge account
an unwholesome selling gim-
mick? Or is it a practical pro-
motion for retailers which also
educates young Americans into
the virtues and expenses of in
stalment buying?
It's not an academic issue.
From a minor experiment a
decade ago. the teen-age charge
account has grown to point
demanding notice. A survey of
1873 stores by the National Re-
tail Merchants Association has
just disclosed that so stores had
special accounts for teen-agers,
% were considering them. An
other new survey of 217 stores
by Seventeen magazine re-
vealed 63 per cent had the plans,
double the 1859 percentage.
So broad has been the growth
that it is now arousing fierce
controversy. At the Senate sub
committee hearings on install
ment buying charges a few
months ago, lengthy testimony
was submitted to stress the de-
velopment's dangers. In its May
report the nonprofit Consumers
Union called the plans a bur
geoning evil" Back. though
comes A. L. Trotta, chief of the
NRMA's credit management di-
vision, criticizing the critics fol-
"misinterpretation and distor-
tion," insisting, This is an ex-
cellent retail promotion too
which simultaneously teaches
good habits and the proper use
of instalment credit"
Idea Is Simple
The idea is simple. All it il
basically is a special account
limited to youngsters usually ir
the 1920 year age bracket, al,
though a few plans go dowr
to 13-year-olds. In most cases
the maximum that can bt
charged is $25, although some
go to $50 and a few to $1O0
In some instances. the charge
are the same as on any adul
account-say 1l2 per cent o

will. The majority of stores ask
that the parents authorize the
account, but most do not ask
parents to guarantee payment.
The forces behind the trend
are equally clear. From a re-
tailer's viewpoint, the teen
age market is most enticing
prospect, for teen-agers' SPEND
ing is now estimated at $10I
billion a year. of which So bill

appeal is obvious, and since

life of most of their parents,

Good or Evil?
Well. what is it? Unwhole-
some gimmick or valuable tool?
While I almost instinctively re-
coil from any costly promo
ton and recognize the pitfalls
here. 1 can't view this with
nearly the alarm of the critics.
First. the record of the stores
experimenting with the ac-
counts has been excellent. OF
the so stores reporting to the
NRMA on parents attitudes, 81
found the reaction excellent"
80 said it was good" only five
said it was fair" and only two
"unfavorable." The great ma
jorlty said the teen-age delin-
quency record was favorable or
good.
Second. to me the educa-
tional potentialities of these
plans are undeniabie. If teen
sagers do discover that install
ment buying can be expensive
and paying cash is the cheapest
of all buying methods, that will
help them use credit properly
in later years. If teen-agers do
find out that on-the-cuff buy
ing means they must discipline
themselves into repaying,
what's wrong with learning
that early in life?
Third, the possibility of an
adverse reaction by parents
will. I think, prevent the stores
from exploiting the youngsters.
Today's controversy may slow
the speed of the movement, but
the enticement of the teen-age
market will impel its expansion
particularly in smaller COM
munities where retailers know
the teen-agers.

To keep in the race for the
