PECK RETURNS
IN FAMED HIT,
12 O’CLOCK HIGH’
Gregory Peck returns in one of
the great roles of his career in
Darryl F. Zanuck’s famed pro
duction of “12 O’clock High,”
at The Theater'Sunday and Mon
day. One of the most important
20th Century-Fox encore tri
umphs of all time, “12 O’Clock
High” will compare favorably
with any of 1955's newer releases.
The movie dramatizes in inti
mate, yet spectacular fashion the
test of responsibility in the stress
of command. Gregory Peck does
full justice to the towering role
of General Savage, and there is
an impressive supporting cast in
cluding Dean Jagger, whose mem
orable portrayal of Major Stovall
won him Academy recognition
with the Oscar award for the
best supporting acting by a mile
in the year of the film’s original
release.
Also featured are Hugh Mar
lowe, Gary Merrill, the late Mil
lard Mitchell, Robert Arthur,
Paul Stewart, John Kellog, Bob
Patten and Joyce MacKenzie.
Henry King directed the Zan
uck offering, and Sy Bartlett and
Beirne Lay Jr. wrote the screen
play, based on their own novel.

Trans World Airways
Cites Advantages of
Polar Route to Europe
WASHINGTON, UH — Trans
World Airlines said Monday it
hopes to be able to cut the air
fare between Europe and the U.S.
Pacific Coast about 5 percent if
granted a polar route.
■TWA said the polar route to
London or Paris would be 900
miles shorter than the route cur
rently flown from the west coast
to Europe by way of New York.
The route would cut the flight
schedule by five hours.
The airline contemplates using
new long-range Lockheed Super
Constellation airliners ,with a
single refueling stop, either at
Goose Bay, Labrador, or Sonre
strom, Greenland.
It said that with favorable
weather conditions, the Lock
heeds would make the flight from
the Pacific coast to Europe non
stop.
The CAA is considering the ap
plications of TWA and Pan Amer
ican World Airways for polar
routes between Europe and Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Portland
and Seattle.
Scandinavian Airlines System
has been operating a Los Angeles
to Copenhagen polar route since
mid-November, 1954, at the same
fare as charged for the longer
route of its competitors.

Cost of Living
At All-Time High
During June
Factory Workers'
Buying Power Also
At Record Level
WASHINGTON OH—The cost of
living reached an all-time high in
June, the government reported
Tuesday.
The Department of Labor’s Bu
reau of Labor Statistics said con
sumer prices in American cities
rose seven tenths of one percent
above the May level.
The index in June stood 1.6
percent above the level a year
earlier.
More than 100,000 General
Electric Co. employes will receive
a wage increase averaging more
than 2 cents an hour as a result
of the increase in the index.
James B. Carey, president of
the International Union of Elec
trical, Radio and Machine Work
ers, said the boost will add $80,000
weekly to pay envelopes.
The bureau said an average in
crease of 2 percent in food prices,
partly seasonal, was primarily
responsible for the general rise.
At the same time, the bureau
reported take-home pay of fac
tory workers and the amount of
goods and services it could buy
also reached new peaks in June.
Net spendable earnings of a
factory .workers with three de
pendents averaged $72.75 in June,
while those of a worker with no
dependents were $65.40. This
marked a gain of about 80 cents
over May, and an increase of bet
ter than $2.60 over last June.
