Why Recessions Lift Livinq Costs
~ SYLVIA PORTER

In the recession of 1960-61,
the cost of living increased
over l per cent. You might
ask how could even this rise
take place in the face of un-
employment close to 7 per cent
of the work force, a slump in
the steel industry, severe de-
clineS in housing, appliances,
general sluggishneSS in our
economy?
The reasons why it could
and did explain not only why
the cost of living rose during
three of the four recessionS
since World War II but also
why the general price level will
continue climbing in the
emerging recovery.
1t, is a fact of modern econ
omic life that in the United
States we have built in bias
toward higher consumer prices
which operates in bad times
as we'll as good.

darker and sweeter than
regular beer, but a type of
lager. Made of tWo-thirds
b arley malt, one-third
wheat malt.
Ale-Paler and more tart
than lager, with pro-
nounced hop flavor. Its
fermentation is at higher
temperature than lager

Porter-Brewed with
some dark malt, it's a
variation of ale but tastes
sweeter and less "hoppy."

Star Staff Writer

In ten thousand taverns
across the Nation this time OF
year, a conversation inevitably
springs up along these lines:
well, it's book beer time
again."
"Yes, they're Scraping the
bottom of the barrels, all right. 4"
Brewmasters by now shrug
in resignation when they hear
the words. The idea that the
dark, foaming book comes from
the bottoms of vatS. after a
long winter of skimming lighter
beer off the top, is a persistent
but erroneous legend.
Book beer, it's true, tradi-
tionally is made in winter for
spring consumption. But the
dark color comes from using
black malts that have been in
tensively roasted prior to brew
ing. You can make it any time
of year, without scraping any
thing.

of every dollar for services

hold operation, medical care,

services as a whole are still
catching up with the squirt in
the prices of food and other
commodities since the start OF
World War II; the cost of labor
frequently is the dominant fac
tor in the cost of a service and
the extent to which many
services can be automated is
extremely limited; when a Serv-

stays up. Prices of other items

Labor Costs Stable
90 The cost of living went
up in the recession of 1960-61
because the rigiditieS of labor

pressures against price cuts.
While there have been reduc-
tions on some big ticket items
Cautos, appliances, the resist
ence of most businessmen to
reductions has been massive
and that's not difficult to un-
derstand considering the in
fleXibility of their costs.

could be padded out with a
dozen smaller ones. For in
stance, the rise in the food
price index during this recess

Commercial Space Flights May Be a
 Reality by l975-8O

NEW YORK R = If your chil- dren are eager to go rocketing in to space, tell them to start saving their money.
 Commercial manned space flights could be reality by 1975- 30, a space researcher predicted today.
 Space transportation techniques are expected to develop raidly in the next 20 years, greatly reduc- ing the cost of a round trip from earth into an orbit, or to the Moon, said H. H. Koelle of the George E. Marshall Space Flight Center at Huntsville, Ala.
 This could be the timetable, Koelle told the space flight re- port to the nation sponsored by the American Rocket Society:
 Large, orbiting space stations carrying men in 1968-59.
 A permanent, manned station on the Moon, 1910.
 A lunar settlement by 1875.
 Manned expeditions to other planets starting in the 1972-74 period.
 Round trips from earth to low latitude orbits involving 5000 men every year by 1875. Several men would be involved in each trip.
 About 500 annual men round trips from earth to Moon by 1875. Commercial m ann d spac, flights developing in the 1975s8' period.
 ssIt will be witnessed by tn, lIlitidle-aged generation of today with the younger generation o. today taking an active part ir it." Koelle suggested.
 His prepared paper did not es- innate the cost of the round trip ticket into orbital flight or to the Moon.

Judge Hubert Gilbert Rules Out COD. Liquor Deliveries

ANCHORAGE R = Superior Court Judge Hubert Gilbert-aim- ing at COD. deliveries of liquor to Alaskans living in remote and s'dfy" areas-has ruled that a legal liquor sale is only one made in liquor store.
 Gilbert, presiding here in the absence of Judge Earl Cooper, made the decision at Nome in denying motions for acquittal and a new trial for a Kotzebue man convicted of larceny.
 The judge said he learned through evidence at the trial "of a custom that has apparently arisen of shipping liquor into dry areas" custom wherein a per- son forwards an order for liquor and pays for it on delivery.
 Roland Beaver had been con victed of stealing liquor from a building at Kotzebue. Gilbert said it became necessary to determine who owned the liquor, and this gave rise to the question of what constitutes legal liquor sale.
 The judge said he searched the law but didn't find the State Su- preme Court had ruled specifically on the question.
 Under the 1aw, he said, a liquor dealer must not sell to minors or intoxicated persons. Taking those things into consideration, con cluded the Legislature meant a liquor sale to be made in the store" Gilbert said.
 The judge also said he con sidered the shipment of liquor to communities such as Kotzebue Barrow and Bethel to be circum- vention off residents rights since they have voted to be "dry" com nfunities.

 One project which may be carried out this winter if time and help are available, will be the painting of the interior Of the school with fire retardent paint. This was recommends tion of the State Fire Marshal after his recent inspection.
 The board acted to request an additional 90 day extension on the moving of the schools ware house now located at Nome Field.

Farthing Nets MT. K" $493,515.2O in a British Soccer Football Pool

LONDON M - A man ldenti- fled only as "X' was declared the winner today of 176,259 pounds = $493, ,515.20 in a British soc- cer football pool.
 It was the largest payout ever made in pool charging only a farthing a coin no longer legal tender per chance. A farthing is 724ts.hss of a US. cent.
 Another pool, charging 2 pence -2B cents--a chance, paid a second anonymous winner 143, ,73O pounds -$4O2, ,444.
 Both men exercised their right
 guaranteed by the pools--to re- main anonymous.
 Both payments were made on what Is known as the treble chance pools. In them, gamblers try to pick eight teams on the weekly English and Scottish pro- fessional soccer program which will end in ties. Winnings are tax-free.
 Although the farthing is no longer legal tender, it is stipu- lated as the cost per chance in some pools. It works out all right because most players buy large number of chances and pay off in pennies, shillings or pounds.

WASHINGTON B = President Kennedy today pulled Gen. James A. Van Fleet out of retirement to

 Van Fleet was Commander of JUN. forces in Korea for nearly two years starting in 1851. He retired in 1853, and now is a business consultant to a number of leading US. industrial firms.
 The White House said Van Fleet will be consultant on special warfare training, which is centered at school at Ft. Bragg, NC.
