Cost of Livitig . j
Rose .5% to New
Record in October |
WASHINGTON UP—The govern
ment reported today that living
costs rose one-half of one percent
in October to another new record.
It was the fourth new peak
reached in a 1956 climb.
The increase means pay raises
for about 1V4 million workers in
auto, farm equipment, aircraft and
metalworking industries, whose
wage rates are geared in part to
the government index.
For most of these workers, the
amount of the pay raise will be
two cents an hour.
Nearly all consumer spending
categories except food went up in
October. Food has remained un
changed since September. Prices
for new cars rose nearly 11 per
cent in October, reflecting higher
price tags on 1917 models without
the dealer discounts that had pre
vailed on the 1956 cars.
The index kept by the Labor
Department's Bureau of Statistics
rose to 117.7 percent of the 1947
49 average, the base period. This
is one-half of 1 percent higher
than in September and 2.4 percent
above October last year.

Atlantic coast of the United
States usually move up from the
south or southwest.
On the first day of school the
teacher explained that if anyone
had to go to the washroom he
should hold up two fingers. One
puzzled little boy plaintively
asked: “How’s that going to help.”
Italian Airliner
Crash Near Paris
Kills 33 Persons
PARIS, IP—A New York bound
airliner crashed and burst into
names on a village near Paris
Saturday, killing all but 2 of the
35 persons aboard.
Fourteen of the passengers were
believed to have been Americans,
but identification of victims was
difficult. Many bodies were badly
burned or were smashed in the
terrific impact of the crash.
Miraculously, only one youth in
the village was injured, although
burning gasoline sprayed build
ings and the countryside. He was
asleep in a house hit by the plane.
Among the victims was Guido
CanteUi, 34, noted young Italian
orchestra director and a protege
of Arturo Toscanini. He was en
route to New York to conduct the
Philharmonic Symphony after a
visit to his native land.
The plane was a new four-en
gine DC-6B, purchased by the
Italian airline (LAP only a month
ago at a cost of $2,300,000, offi
cials said.
It had just taken off from Orly
Field. Jfie scene of the crash, the
village of Paray Vieille Poste, is
only two miles from the airport
runway.
Officials said 30 bodies were re
covered from the wreckage and
taken to the village town hall to
await identification. The bodies
were wrapped in green blankets
of the U.S. Air Force, whose per
sonnel sped immediately to the
scene to aid in the rescue opera
tions.

Good Day for
U.S. at Olympics
MELBOURNE, ttMU. S. ath
letes had one of their best days
ever in Olympic competition Sat
urday to gain a commanding lead
in the unofficial point tabulation.
Yank aees Won four of five gold
medals determined in track and
field events while setting a pair of
Olympic records. That was more
than enough to out-weigh the up
set of defending champion Peter
George of Akron, Ohio, by Rus
sia’s Fedor Bogdankovski for the
middleweight title in weightlift
ing. .
U.S. fencers also contributed to
the remarkable American show
ing, picking up a surprising fourth
behind Italy, France and Hungary
in the team foils. That was worth
three points and as the last com
petition of the day left the United
States with a total of 108 points,
Russia with 88.
The teacher asked her class how
Noah spent his time on the Ark.
Receiving no response, she added,
“Do you suppose he did a lot of
fishing?”
"What?” jeered one small lad,
“with only two worms?”

Army Cancels Planned
82nd Airborne Division
Maneuvers in Alaska
WASHINGTON, UV-Cancella
tion of scheduled winter maneu
vers in Alaska will leave the 82nd
Airborne Division intact, ready
for possible emergency use.
The Army said Friday the exer
cise was cancelled “because it ap
pears inadvisable to conduct it at
this time.” It gave no more spe
cific reason, but authoritative
sources at the Pentagon said the
decision was reached after the
situation in Egypt and the Middle
East became critical.
The abandoned plans had been
for one regimental combat team
from the division to be airlifted
from its home base at Ft. Bragg,
N.C., to Alaska for the maneuvers
during January and February
