Price Index
Holds Firm
For Month
BY the Associated Press

The cost Of living held ever
during August, the Labor De-
partment said today.
The consumer price index
remained at the July level OF
1911 per cent of the l957-5s
base period.
A spokesman for the Bureau
Of Labor Statistics said that
present indications are that
the September index reading
will show about the same level
He added:
1--WE don't see any big in
creases in the months ahead.
We don't see any strong in
flationary trend. Any changes
will be modest and in line with
the trend in recent years"
In the May-July period Of
this year, the index rose by
about l per cent. The August
standing of 1911 means that
1t cost $l0.7l TO buy the same
consumer items that could have
been bought in the 1957-59
period for $40.
In August, lowest food prices,
particularly for fresh fruits and
vegetables, offset higher trans
portation and recreation costs
to keep the price index
constant.
However, the index was is
per cent higher than in August,
1862, mainly because Of higher
price levels for food and
housing.

firmed the conservative middle
class leaders in their original
suspicion that Mr.. Bosch was
really a Communist in dis

He alienated the Roman
Catholic Church by promoting
a new constitutional provision
separating church and state
And most important, he in
furiated the military by en-
gaging in a running feud with
neighboring Haitian Dictator
Francois Duvalier on their
island of Hispaniola.
Ever since the first outbreak
of hostilitieS between Haiti and
the Dominican Republic last
April, the two countries have
been on the verge of outright
war. The military leaders, who
warned President Bosch that
they we're not prepared to fight
such a war, suspected that he
was using the Haitian scape-
goat to arouse Dominican ma
tionalism in defense Of his own
weakening political position at
home.
At the same time, the much
promised reforms-particularly
on the landed estates-were not
moving fast enough to please
the unorganized masses. After
taking power, President Bosch
sought to get the large land
owners to donate" their land
Voluntarily - instead of ex-
propriating it under a compre-
hensive land reform. He also
moved slowly through the courts
to redistribute the huge tracts
of fertile land formerly in the
hands of the hated Trujillo
clan.

Crucial Section
In Rights Bill
Wins Support
Accommodations
Plan Is Backed
By House Unit
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star Staff Writer


Provisions against racial dis
elimination in most places of
pubic accommodation have been
informally approved by a ma
jority of the 11-member House
Judiciary subcommittee, reli-
able sources disclosed today.
This action on the especially
controversial section of a civil
rights bill, although previously
predicted by several members,
seemed certain to cause even
more controversy.
Subcommittee Chairma n
Celler, Democrat Of New York,
would neither confirm nor
denie the report but he told
reporters he would have a
complete statement and good
story" on the civil rights bill
late today after the vote"
Vote Not Indicated
He did not indicate whether
he meant the pending House
vote on the tax bill this after
noon or a formal vote by the
subcommittee on the civil
rights bill, including the public
accommodations senction.
Other members of the sub
committee limited that the
public accommodations section,
if approved in the form ten
tatively agreed on yesterday,
would not get complete BIZ
partisan support in view of
some Republican opposition to
various provisions.
There was a possibility that
the subcommittee might still
change the wording of the
section before a final vote.
The subcommittee also may
vote today on a proposed
amendment for a strong fair
employment practices provision
in the bill. Earlier this month,
the subcommittee tentatively
approved a somewhat mildel
section relating to racial dis
elimination in employment.
Other Sections Approved
The subcommittee already
has tentatively approved all
other major sections of the
measure.
The approval of a public &C.
commodations section CAM

the subcommittee rejected ;
similar proposal by Represen'
tative Lindsay, Republican O.

area of civil rights was based
on the commerce clause.

committee did not announce Its

an explosion September Is.
Police Detective Maurice
House said that two bombs
were detonated in an apparent
plan to kill or injure the resi-
dents.
He said that a small dyna-
mite blast was set off first,
apparently to draw sleeping
residents from their homes
where they could be cut down

miSfired, however, and the Sec
ond bomb exploded before any,

The church bombing climaxed
months of racial unrest and
resulted in the sending of for

Kenneth Royal and forme r
Army football Coach Earl Blaik
to the city yesterday.
Meetings Are Scheduled
The presidential team has set
up meetings today with white
and Negro leaders.
The bombing was reported to
the Birmingham Police Depart
ment at 1870 am. (CST). City
police and State troopers sped
to the scene, about 80 blocks
from the downtown area, but
there was no disorder.
The house nearest the in
tersection was damaged ex-
tensively. Windows were broken
and plaster was Jared from
the walls.
Hole GOuged in Street
Police said the blast came
from a homemade shrapnel
bomb which one officer said
certainly was intended to hurt
someone"
The bomb gouged a hole in
the street 112 feet deep and 8
feet across. A utility pole was
sheared. Eight houses and sew
eral cars were damaged IN vary
ing degrees.
One resident, Martin Otey,
said: Were just innocent
people-bombed in our sleep.
No one on this block has had
anything to do with this race
business"
Mr.. Otey said a piece of metal
was hurled into his bed and a
3-inch bolt penetrated his front
door and landed in the dining
room.
Keep Tension High
Investigators theorized the
bomb was set off to keep racial
tension from cooling. Officers
have been staked cut at key
city schools, churches and
homes of controversial individ-
uals, possibly explaining why
this quiet residential area was
selected as a target.

home was most damaged, said
