Combat GIs To Get Raise WASHINGTON (JP) The Army - said Thursday It plans to add $45 ' to the August pay of front line . soldiers In Korea if they spent six days in combat in July. The money, which will be paid - out in a few days, will be the first of the $45 a month combat pay recently approved by Con gress. The Army said it couldn't estimate at present how many men will get the additional cash this pay day. Several hundred thousand men who have gone off active duty will be eligible for back combat pay, since Congress made it retro active to June, 1950. The Army said application forms for this back pay will be available at post office windows throughout the country by Sept. 15. i Maverick Defends Vote for Stevenson The "delegate who dared to be different" Wednesday night de fended his vote for Adlai Steven son. Dave Epps, the one Oregon delegate to the Democratic nation al convention, who bolted the Ke fauver block, said he knew Sen. Estes Kefauver had no chance of nomination by the third ballot, so he felt justified in voting for Ste venson, whom he preferred all along. Reviewing the convention he said the real contest, all along, had been "Stevenson against the field." Kerr and Barkley were not serious contenders, he said. Harriman was running Just to hold the New York delegation. Russell, Stevenson, and Kefauver were the real possibilities. DENOUNCES TACTICS Kefauver, he said, had little chance, because he had only a slight possibility of winning dele gates who were not pledged to him by state primaries. He also took a crack at Kefauver's con vention campaign tactics, charg ing the Tennessee senator waged a mean, anything-to-wm cam paign." These tactics, he said, alienated doubtful delegates. Epps, Sweet Home and Albany furniture dealer who began going to national conventions in 1940, 695 I I".: was lavish in his praise of Gov. Stevenson. "Governor Stevenson is Governor Stevenson's man," he said; "he's not Truman's man or anybody else's man." "SUPERIOR INTELLECT" The Illinois governor, Epps said, "is intellectually superior to Roosevelt, and with a sense of humor far better than Woodrow Wilson." Senator Sparkman, the party's vice-presidential candidate, Epps said, has, in the Senate, "been right on everything but civil rights," and "as liberal as you can get from the south." He predicted Sparkman would be "like Hugo Black. The minute they get away from that environment, they turn out to be decent people." He discounted the charge that Sparkman's name on the' ticket would 'alienate Negro votes in the north. "Everything," he said, "points to the Republicans being worse than we are" on civil rights. If the Republicans win the south, he added, it will be because the Dixicrats, not the southern liber als, prefer to take a chance on what the Republicans will do about civil rights. ECONOMY ANGLE Government economy, he said, was not a valid campaign issue, because "nobody's going to be able to save a great deal." Too much of the budget, he pointed out, is earmarked for military ex penses. "Yet," he chuckled, "The Re publicans are asking you to vote for an Army general to cut down expenditures." After putting in a plug for the party's state ticket, he quoted a slogan he said was going around the convention hall: "If you want to live like a Re publican, vote Democratic."

The Bureau of Labor Statistics said a "sharp rise" in food prices pushed to new peaks both its old style and new type yardsticks for measuring consumer prices. 190.8 PER CENT The new index stood at 190.8 per cent of the 1935-39 average, 12.1 per cent above the pre-Korea level, and 2.9 per cent higher than a year ago. The old index was 192.4 per cent of the base level. Both General Motors Corp., and Ford Motor Co., promptly an nounced they will start paying their hourly-rated workers the three-cent hike on the first pay period next month. Salaried em ployes get an equivalent lump sum payment next December. Other companies in the auto and farm equipment industry, with which the UAW has escalator contracts, will follow suit. MEAT PRICES DIP Describing the big food price increase, the bureau said all items rose except meats, poultry and fish which dipped slightly and beverages which were unchanged, The "principal factor" in the overall food rise was a "sharp" increase in egg prices which rose 14 cents a dcnen or 23 per cent between June 15 and July 15. Prices of fruits and vegetables averaged 1.3 per cent higher, largely as tne result of a 1.8 per cent hike in fresh produce. ii . p.l J.
