Vice President Johnson
Challenges Those Who
Want “Cold War” Victory
PHILADELPHIA (3 — Vice
President Lyndon Johnson today
called on those demanding total
victory in the cold war to say
frankly whether “they mean we
should declare war against the
Soviet Union.”
It was an obvious challenge to
Sen. Barry Goldwater, (iR-Ariz.),
although Johnson did not refer
to him by name.
Goldwater, a spokesman for
conservatives, has urged Presi
dent Kennedy to make victory in
the cold war the objective of
American policy. He said the fight
against Communism cannot be
won unless such a goal is set.
In a speech before the Council
on World Affairs, Johnson said
he was not aware that the Ken
nedy Administration or any pre
ceding administration has been
committed to defeat.
“If the adherents of this ‘new
policy' mean we should declare
war against the Soviet Union, let
them state their case fully and
frankly to the American people,”
Johnson said.

HITCH IN THE POLICY . . .
SHELBYVTLLE, Tenn. (JP> —

spending 19 days recovering from
a fall into his fallout shelter.
The 12x36-foot underground
shelter he built brought lavish
praise from Civil Defense engi
neers. Such crowds came to see
the model shelter that Rowe
bought a $10,000 insurance policy
as protection in case anyone got

policy after he fell through the
escape hatch, cracking several
ribs. He wasn’t covered.

Up Slightly in October
WASHINGTON UPi — Living
costs edged up to a new high in
October, but spendable earnings
and buying power also went to
new records, the Labor Depart
ment announced yesterday.
The index of consumer prices
advanced by one-tenth of one
per cent to 128.4 per cent of the
1947-49 average. Higher prices
for new cars and consumer serv
ices were largely responsible for
the increase.
The rise was “so small it can
be called almost no change,” Com
missioner Ewan Clague of the Bu
reau of Labor Statistics told re
porters. The usual September
October rise is greater.
About 930,000 workers will re
ceive pay increases, mostly of a
cent an hour, under wage con
tracts with cost-of-living escala
tor clauses. All major auto and
farm equipment firms are in
cluded.
