Rescuer Is Slain, Boot
Piroted by Costowoys

NASSAU, B h a m a S, April
Is (AP). - Two shipwrecked
Americans plum d ere d their
rescuers, shot a charter boat
skipper to death and made of
with his boat in a piratical
exploit at a lonely Bahama is
land yesterday.
The pair fled into Cuban
waters while an unarmed
United States Coast Guard
plane hovered overhead, power
less to interfere.
Cuban authorities said they
had no information about the
fugitives or the boat.
Another Coast Guard plane
rescued the wife of one fugi-
tive, a crewman of the stolen
Islamorado (Fla.) cabin cruiser
Murial III, and four Pennsyl-
vania sport fishermen who told
of being terrorized by the des-
peradoeS' debate over whether
to kill all witnesses to the slay-
ing of Capt. Angus Boat
wright, SIS.
The woman gave her name
in Nassau as Barbara Table, i8,
and said she was Shipwrecked
with her husband, Alvin, %,
and William Sees, alias john
son, %, Tuesday in a boat the
three took from Key West, Fla.
The Muriel III was off Elbow
Cay, LOG miles south of Miami,
when Capt. Boatwright spied
mirror signals and saw the
wreckage of a boat.
The skipper was pretty
leery of going in close" said
Kent Hokanson, 81, mate of
the Muriel III. I'VE throught
they might be gun smugglers
or Cubans."
Then this guy (Sees) swan
out to us. We let him aboard

Typhoon Blows
Toward Formosu

MANILA, April Is tAP).-
Pacific storm Karen blew up
into a typhoon today and was
reported moving toward For
mosa with 85-mile center
winds.
The Manila weather bureau
said Karen was about 100 miles
west of central Luzon Island
curving to the northwest at 8
miles per hour. The bureau said
northern LuZon might feel the
full force of the storm as it
swept out to the China Sea.
Karen ZigZagged through the
Philippines over the week end J.,
leaving behind eight known
dead and scores of persons un-
accounted for. Newspaper re-
ports put the number of miss
ing anywhere from 73 10 10.
Most of the missing we're
fishermen and sailors caught
at sea by the out-of f-season
storm.

Stocks Decline
On Wide Front

NEW YORK. April Is (AP).
The stock market slumped on
a wide front today. Trading
was moderately active. Key
stocks fell a few cents to more
than 81.
The decline spread through
the steels, motors, rails, util-
tiles, electronicS and electrical
equipment issues.
The market opened lower in
slow trading but as prices con-
tinued to fall selling picked up.
News developing over the
weekend was discouraging.
Brokers mentioned hand-to-
mouth steel buying, lower than
expected profits in first quarter
earnings statements and cut
backs in production of appli-
ances.

Cost Of Living Reaches
Record High in March

l per cent over February. The
increase was attributed to
higher prices for fresh fruits,
soft drinks, chickens and eggs.
However, the bureau pointed
out that the March food prices
here were eight-tenths of l per
cent lower than a year ago.
Food was the only major
group priced by the bureau for
Washington last month.
Nationally, the bureau said,
food prices we're almost offset
by a stronger-than-usual de-
cline in prices of used and new
cars.
The March drop of Al per
cent in used-car prices was
the largest in almost five years.
The bureau said higher
prices for meat. chiefly pork
and chicken, and for eggs and
fresh fruits accounted for most
of the rise in food prices. Poul-
try prices were at their highest
since August, 1858.
Apparel prices, which usually
rise in the spring, increased
four -tenths of / per cent last
month, the bureau said.
Evening star., 1960-04-25

The national cost-of Living
index inched upward during
March to an all-time high. the
Government announced today.
Food prices. which rose for
the first time in six months,
led the increase. In the Wash
ington area retail food prices
also were higher for March,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics
said.
The bureaus consumer price
index was one-tenth of / per
cent higher than February.
The increase means that
more than 100000 railroad
workers will receive a 1-cent-
an-hour increase. Wages of
about 225,000 electrical work
ers and 95, 900 aircraft workers
will not be changed. the bureau
said.
But approximately 10000
workers in a variety Of indus
tries will receive a 1-cent-an-
hour raise.
The Washington retail food
prices increased six-tenths of
