Cost Differential
Studies To Be
Completed Soon
WASHINGTON, (/PI—A member
of a special committee studying
living cost defferentials in U.S.
territories and possessions said
Saturday the committee’s report
may be completed in the next few
weeks.
Dr. James H. Shoemaker, Hon
olulu economist and vice presi
dent of the Bank of Hawaii, re
turned Saturday from a series of
hearings in Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands.
Shoemaker is a member of a
four-man committee, headed by
Sidney de la Rue of the State De
partment which was appointed by
the Civil Service Commission to
make the annual review of living
cost differentials required by law.
Federal workers in the territor- J
ies and possessions are now given
premium pay because of living
cost differentials outside of the
continental United Sates. Civil
Service law now requires annual
review of the living cost differen
tials between off shore areas and 1
J
the city of Washington.
Shoemaker said there are “ob-1
vious price differentials” between j
territories. But, he said, there is j
a difference between comparison j
of prices, item by item, and com- j
parison of living costs.
Determination of living costs,'
he said, involves complex compu- j
tat: ns, giving consideration to the
pe vn‘r**»2 " o* 1 income ex
pended by the peoples in a given j
area for particular items.

Close Harmony
If Miss Brooks plays it right,
she might succeed this time in
luring Mr. Boynton into a bit of
closer harmony. These two famed
schoolteachers of the air, played
by Eve Arden and Bob Rockwell,
pursue their one-sided romance as
members of mythical Madison
High each Sunday on “Our Miss
Brooks," over the CBS Radio Net
work at 6:30 p.m. EST. The week
ly broadcasts which have won Miss
Arden a spate of honors since
their inception in 1948, recently
induced more than 500 radio edi
tors to vote for her as “Woman
of the Year” in radio.
Church Heads Sav
Privileged Classes
Cet Most Religion
COLUMBUS, Ohio, !/P»—A group
of Methodist leaders say the priv
ileged classes sooner or later get
a monopoly on religion.
A section of the First Methodist
Convocation on Urban Life in
America presided over by Bishops
Charles Wm. Brashares of the
Chicago area and F. Gerald Ens
ley of the Des Moines, Iowa, area,
Friday reported:
“Neither Protestants generally,
nor Methodism in particular, has
developed an effective relation
ship with labor. The privileged
classes sooner or later get a mon
opoly on religion.
“Our churches have some la
boring people in them, but in the
main, the more privileged classes
prevail.
“The Methodist Church closest
to the largest manufacturing plant
in the world is composed of a
membership the smallest part of
which consists of the working
class.” 'The factory was not iden
tified.'
The report called the labor field
“one of the most fruitful fields for
an evangelistic revival.” It sug
gested the recruitment of minis
ters from the families of workers
as a way to bring the church
closer to labor.

Army May Have
Solved Problem
Of Frostbite
FAIRBANKS, UB—The Army
disclosed Friday it may have
solved the problem of frostbite on
winter battlefields.
A report from Fourth Infantry
headquarters said only a few of
the troops who maneuvered out
doors in bitter weather for more
than a week suffered from frost
bite.
Dubbed “Exercise North Star,”
the maneuvers were conducted in
temperatures ranging to 43 de
grees below zero. The warmest
day was 23 below.
Thousands of troops and hun
dreds of tanks, trucks and other
vehicles moved westward from
Fairbanks over a wilderness trail
and fought a mock war with “ag
gressor troops.”
Wearing the latest types of cold
weather gear and living outdoors,
the soldiers advanced more than
100 miles through snow up to
three feet deep. Tanks and trucks
were kept operational at all times,
the operators warming the en
gines at intervals through the icy
nights.
The Army reported 84 cases of
frostbite were treated and only 34
of these were bad enough for hos
pitalization. Only one was tabbed
as serious.
Although the number of troops
in the maneuver was not disclosed
it was known they were in the
thousands and the Army said the
frostbite cases were «a “tiny frac
tion” of the total.
