60 Airmen in Britain
Deprived of Cigarettes and
Liquor for Black Marketing
LONDON (/P — Nearly 60 air
men at the U. S. Air Force base
at Lakenheath have been de
prived of their tobacco and liquor
ration cards for black marketing
goods bought at the post exchange.
An Air Force spokesman said
investigations were continuing at
all U. S. bases in Britain.
The ration cards permit bases
to buy 40 packs of cigarettes a
month at 14 cents a pack, plus
five bottles of spirits at such
prices as $1 a quart for gin.
Because they are sold outside
the United States, the goods are
not subject to U. S. taxes. The
British government has waived the
taxes that drive the price of ciga
rettes up to 58 cents a pack and
a bottle of gin to $4.20 on the
British market.
Cost of Living Reached
New High in June
WASHINGTON UFi — Price in
creases in such items as used
i autos, gasoline, household lines,
! apples and watermelons nudged
'ihe cost of living to a new high
in June.
The Labor Department report
ed Tuesday increases in most
transportation and housing costs
combined with a seasonal rise in
food prices to bring about the
fractional increase.
The consumer price index for
June — the average cost of the
typical city-dwelling family—was
127.6, which meant that prices
averaged 27.6 per cent higher
than in the 1947-48 base period.

Five Manufacturers of
Salk Vaccine Temporarily
Suspend Production
WASHINGTON UP — The Pub
lic Health Service said Tuesday
| that two of the five major manu
facturers of Salk polio vaccine
have temporarily suspended pro
duction because of the presence
of a virus in their product.
The virus, a newly discovered
one, came from monkey kidney
tissue, used to make the vaccine.
Although production was halted,
officials stressed there was no
evidence the virus would sicken
man.
The service said that all Salk
vaccines released during the last
two months had been tested for
presence of the virus, designated
SV40, and only those which were
free of it were cleared for gen
eral use.
Under law, the service does not
identify the manufacturers in
volved, but it was learned that
the firms which have suspended
production are Merck Sharp &
Dohme, a Division of Merck, Inc.;
and Parke, Davis & Co.
The two firms together have
accounted for something like 25
per cent of the nation’s total out
put of Salk vaccine.
However, a service spokesman
said it is not expected that with
drawal from the market will
cause a general shortage of the
vaccine.
The service said the monkey
i virus is known to multiply in man
j under certain conditions but there
j is no evidence that small amounts
jwhen introduced through the vac
i cine, produce illness.

Crowd Pelts Eggs-Ilocks
At Philadelphia Mayor
PHILADELPHIA — An
angry, jeering crowd of 2,000 per
j sons hurled rocks and eggs and
shouted at Mayor Richardson Dil
worth Monday night as he tried
to defend his controversial $40
ja-year parking fee plan.
Several persons were injured,
including Councilman Gaetano Gi
ordano. who opposes the plan.
Giordano, a Democrat as is Dil
i worth, represents the South Phil
adelphia District where the mayor
wants to set up the experimental
plan. He pleaded for the crowd
to hear the mayor out. He suffer
ed a cut eye when hit by either
a rock or flying glass in the school
auditorium where the mayor
spoke.
All available highway patrol
men were sent to reinforce 40
regular officers who had been de
tailed to the meeting.
The mayor shouted himself
hoarse and never did finish his
prepared text in which he de
fended his plan by saying “the
problem with which we are faced
is the problem of the automobile
threatening to engulf our city.”
Protests have mounted since
Dilworth announced his plan for j
an area covering 16 streets. Car
owners would have to pay the fee
to park their cars either on the
streets or in a municipal parking j
lot. Parking is free in the area
now, but prohibited on one side !
of the street.
