A. S. Cummins, president of the opowtr , company, accepted the xhatioh' oa behalf of the o your cost of living since 1939, government figures showed to day. The official cost of living in dex maintained by the U.S. Bu reau of Labor Statistics reached a record level in October. At that time, according to bureau figures, food prices were almost 2i j times higher than in 1939. Clothing Costs Mount Clothing costs were slightly more than double their 1939 level. Rents, on the other hand, were up about 50 per cent. The figures are based on the buying habits of "moderate-income" city families. Translated into purchasing power, the figures means that the average city family's $1 bill today will- buy about 50 cents worth of what it would buy in 1939. It will buy only 41 cents worth of food and 49 cents worth in clothing. Because of the slower rise in rents, the $1 paid in rent in 1939 is worth 65 cents today. The sharpest rises in the cost of living generally and in food and clothing costs in particular took place during the World War II and the postwar years. In the 11 years from 1939 to 1950, the cost of living rose 73 per cent, food prices 115 per cent, clothing prices 87 per cent. Bant Costs Soar In the same period, the pur chasing power of your consumer dollar dropped to 58 cents in terms of 1939 prices, the food dollar to 47 cents and the cloth ing' dollar to 54 cents. Rents rose only 51, 2 per cent between 1339 and 1946, mainly because of World War II rent controls. They climbed 19 per 1 cent between the end of the war land 1950 when rent controls I were being removed. They ; climbed another 20 per cent be : tween 1950 and 1955.

Nehru Urges Nations To Settle Differences by Arguments in UN United Nations, N.Y. 0I.PJ Indian Prime Minister Jawa harlal Nehru urged the nations of the world Thursday night to settle their differences by ar guments in the United Nations instead of "cold wars" and mil- tary allances. ous that countries like Hungary have been made to function in a way contrary to the will of the inhabitants." In a joint communique issued Thursday by the White House before he left Washington, President Eisenhower and Neh- 650 Egyptian Dead Said Toll of Battle London (U.R) An official British report said today that a "reasonable estimate" listed 2.750 Egyptian casualties as a re sult of Anglo-French operations at Port Said. It listed Egyptian dead at 650. The casualty report, released as a government white paper, was prepared by Sir Edwin Herbert, president of the British Law Society. It said that his investigations into the number of Egyptians killed and wounded as a result of Anglo-French invasion opera tions at Port Said gave "a rea sonable estimate" of these totals: Dead. 650; wounded and detain ed in hospitals, 900; slightly wounded, 1.200. Western Steel Man Two Others Killed In Crash of Plane Nehru on a two-day visit ' m declared they had reacnea a here, told an informal meeting I of 1,000 U.N. delegates in the General Assembly hall that Hun gary and the Middle East proved the ineffectiveness of using strength in the world today.

He flies to Canada tonight. Nehru told the U.N. delegates Thursday night that the idea of a cold war is "fundamentally and morally wrong." He said it is the "very negation of what the United Nations stands for." "Why not take for our protec tion instead of armies and risks, instead of countries having armed forces in another coun try, why not do away with the system of military alliances and pacts and face each other frank ly and openly and try to settle disputes by argument here in the United Nations or else where," he said. Nehru also spoke Thursday night before the American As sociation of the United Nations where he praised the United States for its position during the Suez crisis. "The respect the world feels for the United States has gone up immensely since it took its position on Egypt," Nehru said. He said that as Russia grew after her revolution, power "went to her head and she mis behaved." Russia's actions were "wrong" in some instances, Nehru said. Refers To Hungary "It is not for me to judge na tions," he declared. "Compari sons are odious, but it is obvi- broad area of agreement" In their "full and frank" talks. They said the "greater under standing" they had developed regarding eacn other's policies will facilitate their efforts to achieve "peaceful and friendly intercourse among nations" through the United Nations.
