Price $6.00 New Home Cos! Change Doubled By United Press Prices for new homes in small cities will show little change in the foreseeable future, contractors said Tuesday. This was the consensus in a survey of building costs in 21 gave up the secretaryship for a I towns within the 10,000 to 25.000 as .an Investigator for the wartime Truman Committee, Boyle got the job. At that time, Mr. Truman s sec retary was Harry H. Vaughan, a years-long crony and world War I comrade in arms. When Vaughan spectacular new military career, Boyle became secretary to the senator from Missouri. In 1944, when Mr. Truman was a candidate for vice-president, Boyle was named execu tive assistant to Chairman Rob ert E, Hannegan of the Demo cratic National Committee. Boyle was closely associated with Mr, Truman In that cam paign. Upon Mr. Truman's elec tion, Boyle opened a law office here. Four years later, Boyle again was advising Mr. Truman. He is credited with some of the strategy which paid off in the President's triumph last November. That led Boyle finally to the national com mittee chairmanship and a po sition of great power in this coun try. population bracket. The spot check, indicated that prices vary largely because of lo cal conditions, but that in general they follow the trend of building costs in bigger cities. For the 21 towns, the average price of a five-room fram house, without a lot, was $8957. A pre vious survey of larger cities put the average price at $9090. The highest average price re ported in the small city survey was $12,000. by contractors at Waukesha, Wis., and Annapolis, Md. The lowest was $7000, at Belleville, 111., and in Southern California towns. At the two extremes, both Belleville and Waukesha are Midwestern industrial towns, near the larger centers- of St. Louis and Milwaukee with populations exceeding 20,000. Some contractors believed News Article 1 Saves Lives ALEXANDRIA, Va. 0IR Two small girls owe their lives to Mrs. Richard Mason's careful reading of the newspaper. Tucked away on an inside page of the Washington Times Herald, the Alexandria housewife noticed a wire dispatch describ ing how a three-year-o'.d Fresno, Cal., boy was found in a compart ment of an old icebox behind his home. When Margaret Gordman, 5, and Cheryl Sumption, 4, were re ported missing from her neighbor hood a few minutes later, the ' npvunanpr e tnr v (mmiHiatlv flashed into Mrs. Mason's mind. Artinp nn what ho saiH wne a "pure hunch," she decided to I check two abandoned iceboxes behind a nearby veterans' hous ing project. Inside one of the boxes, unconscious and near death, were the two little girls. Mrs. Mason immediately sum moned two firemen who lived in the neighborhood and they ad ministered artificial respiration until an ambulance could take the children to a hospital.
