YOUR MONEYS WORTH :
Living Costs
Rise Slightly
BY SYLVIA PORTER

this year and future increases
unquestionably will be limited
by the general sluggiShnesS in
the real estate market, the
mounting number Of vacancies.
While the costs of medical care,
personal care and operating a
house are still climbing, the
showdown in pace also is OBJ
viouS here.
What's ahead? Barring un-
practicable upheavals at home
or abroad, what's ahead is more
Of the same, because the
economy today is non-infla-
tionary. Since 1858 wholesale
prices have remained steady,
Since the mid-1950s, prices Of
raw materials throughout the
world have fallen substantially
and the emphasis now is on
putting a floor under rather
than a ceiling over these prices.
There are no shortages. Com
petition Is fierce. Average wage
increases this year have been
restraine d. Businessmen in
every sphere are concentrating
on reducing costs, making OPP
erations more efficient.
What does this mean to your
To the vast majority of
Americans who have steady
jobs and who are getting at
least moderate pay raises, 1t
means an additional gain in
real" income in their
spending power after deduc-
tons for personal taxes and
increased living costs.
Yes, in 1862 the consumer
price index reached the high
est peak in history and the
odds are this will happen again
in 1868.
But most Americans easily
beat this cost of living rise in
1862, and most housewives
were able to adjust their bud

When the books are closed
in 1862, the Governments con-
sumner price index will indi-
cate that the cost Of living
has risen about is per cent
for the year. Most Of the in
crease has been due to a Jump
in meat prices in September and
the continuing climb in the
cost Of services.
Throughout the year prices
Of the typical marketbasket OF
city families have remained in
a narrow range. Prices Of hard
goods are actually lower than
a year ago. New car prices are
down too. Were it not for q
sharp rise in used car prices,
the whole category of durable
goods-which takes Is cents Of
every dollar the average fam
lily spends-would be lower than
at this time in 1861.
What has pushed UP the
price index In 1862 has been
the relentless rise in service
costs. Since services now abb
sorb almost 81 cents Of every
dollar spent this has put a
squeeze on family budgets.
Travelling by bus. subway, train
has risen 3 per cent. Medical
care and personal care have
gone up more than Q per cent
each this year.
What has pushed up the in
dex too has been the increase
in food prices. The Bureau Of
Labor Statistics index for meat,
poultry and fish has climbed
more than 4 per cent in the
year. It's indexes for cereals
and bakery products and for
fruit and vegetables are up
more than 2 per cent.
! The dollar which would have
bought 100 cents of the goods
and services in a typical mar
ketbasket in 1879 buys only
slightly more than "a cents
worth nova loss of almost 6
cents in purchasing power over
the five-year period. The dol
lar which would have bought
100 cents worth in 1919 buys
less than n cents worth now
Ia loss of over % cents dur
ing the 14-year period.
Clearly, the rate Of decline
in the dollars purchasing
power has slowed markedly
Even the pace Of rise in serv-
ice costs is slowing. AS an IL
lustration. the rise in rent:
has held to around 1 per cent

In fact. the average cuSto-

is $2.75 for the first hour and
81 for each additional one.
With an average 1900 Gus

has housed about $4,000 of its
hourly transients each year.

day, October 7, a specific time
for repentance for our collee-
tive and individual guilt in the
formation of the atmosphere
which produced the strife at
the University of Mississippi
and oxford.
Further, we urge that this
be a specific time for returning
from those paths of violent
thought and action to the
Christian walk of peace and
good will, which turning is the
heart of true repentance. 1t
is our firm belief that the
obedience to the law and to
lawful authority is an essen
tial part of the Christian life.
The outgrowth of this convic-
ton in the situation in which
we find ourselves can be no
less than acceptance Of the &C.
tons of the courts and whole

as individuals and as a State. I"

Meanwhile, the 29-year-old
Meredith went through his
fourth day Of classes at Ole
Miss. Under the Army's pro-
lection, the campus remained

One reason for the univer-
sity's decision yesterday to go
ahead with its original plans
was the expectation that the
Negro student will not be on
the campus over the week end.
Mr.. Katzenbach, who had

Kennedy Says
BY DANA BULLEN

Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy said today that the
situation at the University Of
Mississippi appears to be clear
ing up, but this docs not nee
essarily mean" that the entire
matter will be over quickly.
The Attorney General gave
this estimate Of events in OK
ford, Miss, Is a chance meeting
with reporters outside his Of
flee at the Justice Department.
Mr.. Kennedy said that both
the Defense Department and
Justice Department bear re-
sponsibilities at present in the
wake of recent court moves and
rioting at the university.
The Attorney General said
military authorities have re-
sponsibility for the mainte-
nance Of law and order, for
example, while his department
is under an obligation to see
that court orders in the Mere
dith case are carried out.
The Attorney General said in
some cases the responsibilities
of the two Government depart
ments overlap. AS an example,
he cited Joint arrangements for
class attendance by Mr.. Mere
dith,. who is constantly being
protected by United States
marshals in his moves.
Mr.. Kennedy said there we're
no future moves planned in
Mississippi for him to discuss
today. However, he pointed out
that local and State police in
the strife-torn Mississippi area
carry responsibility themselves
for seeing to it that order is
maintained.
The Attorney General, in q
parting comment, said he con-
sidered it rather interesting"
that Oxford Mayor Richard El-
lott now has charged that a
force Of two carloads Of State
highway patrolmen sat in their
autos and did nothing to stop
