The cost Of living increased
to q record high again in
November throughout the Ma
ton. moving UP slightly by one
tenth Of l per cent. primarily
because of increases in food
prices. the Department Of
Labor announced today.
In the District area the con-
sumer price index for the
August November quarter
showed a rise of 0.5 per cent
and reached a local record.
The monthly food price
check in the District, however,
declined 0.3 per cent from

fresh fruits. This was. con-
trary to the national trend
which showed a or per cent
increase for food. Normally.
Labor Department experts said,
food drops from October to
November. but the national in
crease last month apparently
was due to rising prices for
fresh vegetables.
Vegetables Higher
The cost of vegetables in
creased in the District, but a
drop in fresh fruits such
as grapefruit, bananas and
oranges last month kept the
food prices down in general.
The national consumer price
index rose to 1874 per cent of
the 1947-1949 average base.
The new living cost figure sur
passed the record high Of 127. 3

Russia Seeks
Good Relations
With Kennedy
Gromyko Voices
Hopes in Speech
To Parliament

| MOSCOW. Dec. % (AP).-
Foreign Minister Andrei Gro
myko declared today that the
Soviet Union is ready to i'm
prove its relations with the
United States following the
inauguration Of President-elect
John F. Kennedy.
Mr.. Gromyko told the Su-
preme Soviet, the Soviet Union 3
Parliament. that his govern
ment hopes United States
Soviet relation after Mr.. Ken
nedy's Inauguration will revert
to the state they were in during
the administration Of Franklin
ID. Roosevelt hope previ-
ously expressed by Premier
Nikita Khrushchev In a cable
last month congratulating Mr.
Kennedy on his victory.
THE Soviet. government ex-
presses Its hope that the pres
ent unfavorabie atmosphere
will be cleared" MIR. Gromyko
declared. This would help BY
100 times the solution Of many
problems now unsettled.
II am authorized to state
that on the part of the Soviet
government there is full readi-
ness to promote the all-around
betterment Of Soviet-American
relations"
Khrushchev Present
Mr.. Khrushchev was on the
platform as Mr.. Gromyko re-
viewed the international situa-
ton and Soviet foreign policy
for the joint session Of the
Supreme Soviet. A speech on
foreign policy had been ex-
pected from the premier also,
but the deputies wound up
their four-day session and
headed for home after q brief
discussion and unanimous en-
dorsement of the policy out
lined by Mr.. Gromyko.
Immediately after the ad-
journment a select group Of
deputies went into q private
meeting from which Western
newsmen were barred. The
newsmen speculated that Mr..
Khrushchev was making a Sc
cret speech to the group, but
there was no confirmation Of
this.
Perhaps because he had Just
recovered from a two-week bout
with the flu. the usually voluble
premier made no speeches dur
ing the Supreme Soviet session
and attended only the opening
and closing meetings. He joined
in the rounds Of applause but
otherwise sat quietly, his hands
folded and his eyes often closed.
Record Budget Approved
Earlier in the session the
deputies approved a record
peacetime government budget
for 1861 of IT'S billion new
rubles Slightly more than $50
billion at the official Russian
rate). 1t provides for a Is per
cent increase in scientific re-
search and an S.S per cent in
crease in industrial production.

Then he made better wheels and
better carts, in which rich people
rode. Later people made designs
on wheels and put them on carts
that carried kings and queens.
After that men made spoked
wheels for bicycles and big wooden
wheels for wagons. Finally, man
made rubber tires for wheels.

In 1900 there were only 5000

Transportation

transportation
Our class has been studying
transportation. We learned that
from the day of cave men we have
had transportation in many ways.
Some of the different ways were
walking, using animals, and then
using wheels. The discovery of
wheels was very important be-
cause it made transportation easier
and faster.
Boats were an important way of
transportation. Men travelled a.
round the world discovering new
lands. Later people migrated to
these lands.
In the 18oo's trains were devel-
oped. They increased inland trans
portation and helped greatly in de-
veloping our country.
In the 1900's automobiles and
airplanes have given us very rapid
transportation. We can fly to Eur
ope in one day.
Below are summaries of some of
the information we have learned
while studying transportation.
