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.

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.

of 1,000 U.N. delegates in the
General Assembly hall that Hun

the ineffectiveness of using
strength in the world today.

He will meet today with U.N.

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

regarding eacn other's policies
will facilitate their efforts to
achieve "peaceful and friendly
intercourse among nations"
through the United Nations.
