Food Prices
Drop Slightly
Cost of Living
Down for Nation

Retail food prices in the
Metropolitan Washington Area
dropped seven-tenths of l pei
cent in January while the ma.
tional cost of living edged of
one-tenth of l per cent, the
Government reported today.
The Bureau of Labor Stats
tics said that the drop in food
prices here was due chiefly to
lower prices fer eggs, meats
and fresh vegetables. al
though all major classes Of
food for home use were lower.
The January retail food
price index in this area was 2.3
per cent lower than a year ago
and 40 per cent below its 1853
peak.
The national consumer price
index was the lowest since last
September. However, it was
1.3 per cent above the January,
1859, figure.
Apparel Prices Drop
Major influences in the down.
trend, according to Commits
sioner Ewin Clague, were lower
prices for apparel, principally
for women and girls. new cars
and for food bought for home
use.
Mr.. Clague said that the
January price decrease for
apparel was the sharpeSt for
the season in a decade.
Price declines were partly
offset by increases for most of
the commodities and services
associated with housing, Mr..
Clague said.
Compared with a year ago,
the January cost-of living in
deX reflected the same counter
balancing tendencies it has
shown in most recent months.
The pay envelopes of a little
more than l million workers,
mostly in the manufacture of
automobiles and related prod
Iucts, are tied to the January
price index. The automobile
workers will have no adjust
ment in pay on the basis of
the Governments findings. The
wages of the relatively few
workers in aircraft and farm
machinery industries will be
reduced, in most cases l cent
an hour.

AT 10 Reissue
Manual on
Church Reds
Sharp to Revise
Booklet Dropping
Use Of Names

Chairman Walter of the
House Committee on IN
American Activities said All
Force Secretary Sharp agreed
today to reissue a contro.
versial service training manual
containing charges that Com
munists infiltrated churches
But the revised manual will
name no specific church organ
izationS or individuals, the
chairman reported.
After a 2-hour closed meet
ing of the committee and Mr.
Sharp, Mr.. Walter declared the
Air Force Secretary did not
dispute the truth of the man.
ualS statements concerning
Communist moves to penetrate
or influence church groups.
Mr.. Sharp left the committee
room without offering any i'm
mediate comment to reporters.
At the Pentagon, an aide said
Secretary Sharp may have a
statement later.
Investigation Ordered
Last week Mr.. Sharp had
said he "categorically repudi-
ated the publication as repre-
senting Air Force views" At the
same time, he ordered an in
vesugation Ito see whether
similar material is contained in
any Air Force or Air Force Re-
serve publication"
Defense Secretary Gates also
said the manual did not rep
resent Air Force or Defense De-
partment views.
He was quoted as saying he
was startled and stunned
when he learned of the manual
Representative Walter said
Mr.. Sharp had been called to
explain why he had "categori-
cally repudiated" statements in
the manual and his apology to
Protestant church groups it
linked with Communist infiltra-
ton.
Walter Gives Account
Mr.. Walter gave the follow =
ing account to reporters after
the closed session:
The Air Force Secretary
had apologized to the National
Council of Churches at the re-
quest of a paid secretary. Sec
rotary Sharp admitted at to-
days hearing that the manual
contained statements of fact
concerning Communist infiltra-
ton of churches.
He said he had had no OPP
portunity to investigate those
facts but did think that as a
matter of Air Force policy the
manual should not contain
names of church organizations.
The Secretary does not dispute
the matter set forth in the
manual. He specifically said
the manual was not withdrawn
because of its content but be-
cause it named organizations.
He said it will be reissued
without naming any organiza-
tions but without any substan-
tial change in the other state
ments. So far as the commit
tee is concerned the manual
issue is resolved"
Noting that the manual con-
tanned numerous quotations de-
rived from hearings conducted
by his committee. Mr.. Walter
stated:

conducted by the committee in
our pursuit of Communists, at
least a dozen persons who have

Aid TO Brazil
President Hailed
In Roin by Crowds
At $40 PuuIo

SAC PAULO, Brazil, Feb. Is
(AP). - President Eisenhower
doffed his gray felt hat and
rode bare headed in a heavy
rain today to acknowledge the
cheers of a half million or more
fans in this industrial heart of
Brazil. Confetti and ticker tape
Uttered drenched streets.
Later at a luncheon Mr..
Eisenhower extolled the free
enterprise system and pledged
continued United States sup
port for BraZil's economic de-
velopment.
Opportunity without dis
elimination is a vital aspect of
democracy in both Brazil and
the United States, he said, and
freedom in the long run yields
the most productive economic
system ever devised by man.
Balanced Progress
Our socially conscious pri-
vate enterprise system benefits
all the people, owners and
workers alike" he said. 1T has
resulted in high productivity,
high consumption, high wages,
and reasonable return on in
vestment. Balanced progress is
our watchword.
In freedom the Brazilian
worker is happily demonstrat-
ing the joys of life under a
democratic system"
Speaking of opportunity with
out discrimination, he said:
I'VE believe fervently that no
one should be denied the chance
for or the fruits of lf-better-
ment because of his race, reli-
gion, sex. class or political
beliefs"
Mr.. Eisenhower pledged that
within our financial and eco
nomic capacity, we shall con-
tinue to support Brazilian
development" Brazil has re-
ceived more than SIS billion
in United States public and
private credits.
Speaks to Trade Groups
A thousand guests attended
the luncheon, sponsored by the
Commercial Association, the In
duStrial Association, and the
Rural Society. These big trade
organizations include among
their members many business
men who manage branch fac
tories for United States and
European companies manufac-
turing their products here for
Brazilian distribution
BrazilianS danced, jumped
and shouted in the rain in their
enthusiasm over Mr.. Eisenhow-
er's visit. The temperature was
10.
There was no police estimate
OF the crowds size but the best
guesses ran to at least a half
million. There were probably
not so many as welcomed Mr..
Eisenhower in Rio de Janeiro
yesterday. but the Paulistas
made up for this in enthusiasm. |

Pollution Fund
Sustained
Eisenhower Backed
By 24o-l57 Vote
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star Staf Writer

The House today upheld
President Eisenhower's veto o.
a bill to provide 5000 million
Federal aid for water pollu.
ton control during the next
10 years.
The roll call vote of 249 t.
l57 fell % votes short of the
two-thirdS majority necessary
to enact the measure over the
veto. Refusal of the House tc
override thus kills the bill and
leaves no opportunity fol-
Senate action.
1t was the 158th veto since
President Eisenhower took Of
flee in 1858. Only one. a pub
lie works appropriation meas
ure last year. was overriden.
Today's action does not af-
feet a current law which per-
miCs Federal grants up to $50
million a year for antipollu-
ton.
$50 Million Annually
The 1856 water pollution con-
troll act provided $50 million
annually through 1866 to help
States and communities build
sewage treatment plants and
similar facilities. The vetoed
bill was passed by both branches
of Congress last year but held
over for conference revision
early this year.
House Public Works Com
mittee members estimated the
bill would have made about
$811,000 available to the Dis
trict. Sl.3 million to Maryland
and $1.8 million to Virginia an
nually for 10 years.
In vetoing the bill this week
Mr.. Eisenhower recognized the
menace of water pollution. but
maintained that the problem
is primarily local. He urged
that outright Federal grants
gradually taper off and that
States and communities assume
principal financing of projects
He suggested that Federal as
siStance eventually center on
research and technical aid in
interstate water pollution
programs.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

SWITCH: When Theodore
Roosevelt was President his
young children had the run
Of the White House. High
spirited and always ready for
a prank, they threw many q
distinguished visitor into a
panic with their antics.
Archibald and Quentin, the
two youngest, were the worst
offenders. Often when their
parents were entertaining at
dinner, the two would hide
under the table.
One night, when they were
thus engaged. they observed
that the ladies had slipped
of their shoes. The two boys
loked at each other and the
same thought crossed their
minds simultaneously.
Grinning impishly, they
switched all the shoes about
so that none Of the ladies
had her own pair at her feet.
Needless to say, there was
considerable confusion when
the guests were ready to
leave the table.
