oil negotiations might be resumed at an early date, one diplomatic
source said Thursday.

almost closed the nation’s largest port and piled up $250,000,000 worth
of cargo at New York.

Communists barred West Berlin police . . .
... Thursday from traveling across 300 yards of the Soviet zone to
reach the American sector outpost of Steinstuecken.
The Red action cast doubt upon the validity of the Soviet promise to
return the disputed “island" sector to U.S. jurisdiction. The Com
munist police said they were under orders to prevent “illegal” trips
through the Soviet zone.
Steinstuecken is cut off from the American sector by a narrow
strip of the Soviet zone but the Red Wednesday permitted three
West Berlin police to go into the area.

The cost of living has gone up again . . .
... to hit a new all-time high—and that will mean a small pay in
crease for more than 100,000 workers. Their contracts are tied to
the government cost-of-living index.
Clothing was the big item in pushing the index to a new record
high, although food prices also edged up a bit.
The latest reading is for the month ending Sept. 15. The index
showed a gain of nearly 7 per cent compared to September one year
ago.

J. Paul Sliced)* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil
Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test
POOR PAV1 was eggzaspcratcd because every chick on cam
pus gave h<m the bird. They told him: "We’re all cooped
up!” Then one day his roommate said: "The hens avoid
you beak-cause your hair's messy, you dumb cluck! I don’t
know feather you’ve heard of Wildroot Cream-Oil or not,
but you better ft*y it—er, try it! Contains soothing Lanolin.
Relieves dryness. Removes loose, ugly dandruff. Helps you
pass the Finger-Nail Test.” Paul got Wildroot Cream-Oil—
and now the gals think he's a good egg! Better lay down
a lew poultry cents on the nearest drug or toilet goods
counter for a bottle or tube of Wildroot Cream-Oil. And
ask for it on your hair at your favorite barber shop. Then
the girls'll take off their hatch to you!
