Auctioneer Earl Gillespie, who purchased the airborne cargo at Watertown, Wis., for $3,000, had planned to auction the calves to dairymen at his Corvallis auc- tion yard.

Uncontrolled Items Keep Living Costs On Upward Trend Washington (U.R) Despite price controls, the government's cost-of-living Index keeps edging upward because of certain un controlled items in the economy. federal economists said Satur day. Experts of the Bureau of La bor Statistics said the substan tial upward pressure on the con sumer price index, comes from little-noticed items like recrea tion, transportation, and person al and medical care. "Built-in" Pressures These Items, classified as "mis cellaneous," give the index a "built-in" inflationary pressure, economists said. Coupled with anticipated higher food prices the experts said, they should result in an increasing cost of living this year. As of April 15, the index had climbed nearly four points in the past year to put it at 188.7 per cent of the 1935-39 average. Food prices and the "miscellan eous" items were largely re sponsible for the rise. Draw Up Living Cost Food and "miscellaneous" it ems each account for about a third of the dollar in drawing up the cost-of-living yardstick The remaining third is divid ed among rent, 11 per cent, clo thing 12 per cent, house furnish ings 6 per cent and fuel, elec tricity and refrigeration a total of 3.4 per cent.
