Dollar's Buying Power Shrinks During Past Year Higher prices and lower in comes continue to squeeze the buying power of the consu mers dollar, according to an agricultural extension econo mist at Oregon State college. Mrs. Elvera Horrell says it now takes $1.03 to buy what SI would buy a year ago. At the same time, incomes have slipped somewhat lower than they were at mid-1957. Higher retail prices, that have inched up to the highest point on rec ord this June, combined with these lower incomes, have put a double pinch on the consu mers purse strings. Although recent reports show that incomes are on the upswing, per capita spendable income is still not quite up to what it was last year at this time, the economist notes. It cost the consumer more to buy all major living items, and on most she has to pay an all-time high. Food increased the most, clothing increased the least. According to Mrs. Horrell it now takes a little more than $1.04 to buy the same amount of food that $1 would buy a year ago; slightly more than $1.04 for a 1957 dollar's worth of medical care and reading and recreation; about S1.03 for personal care; nearly $1.03 for transportation; and almost $1.02 for housing.

Ground-To-Air Test Successful Cape Canaveral, Fla. (UPD i-The Air Force demonstrat ed today apparently with spectacular success how its ground-to-air defense missile can be fired remotely from hundreds of miles away and sent streaking into the skies after an enemy plane. A Bomarc, now being de veloped into a weapon cap able of carrying a nuclear warhead, was fired at a drone plane over the Atlantic after the aircraft was picked up by radar presumably station ed somewhere along the East Coast. A technician stationed in a three-story IBM computer center at the Air Defense Command headquarters, at Kingston, N. Y., more than 1, 000 miles away, pressed the button that sent the missile up from the cape at a speed of two and one-half times the speed of sound. The Bomarc was set for a near miss of the drone.

Joinf Venture Info Outer Space Proposed by U.S. Moscow (UPD Scientists meeting here have discussed a U.S. proposal which could put' Americans and Russians side by side in the first ship that carries a crew into outer space, it was reported today. American sources said the plan, proposing cooperation rather than competition in some areas of space research, was mentioned but not formally submitted to the resolutions committee of the International Geophysical Year Assembly at a meeting Wednesday. They explained the pro posal will not be introduced formally here because it is already pending before the International Council of Sci entific Unions. Interest Expressed Foreign delegates expressed some interest in the plan. "The. United States appears to think there are certain spheres of space research where there should be inter: national cooperation rather than competition," one for eigner said. - "I have the impression this would extend even to the first space flights." No Soviet comment could be obtained immediately, but some foreign observers point ed out Russian space pioneer Konstantin Tsiolkovsky urged years ago that the first space ship should carry scientists of all nations. The Russians already have registered their willingness to cooperate in a continued ex change of scientific informa tion after the International Geophysical Year formally ends on Dec. 31. The resolutions committee voted Wednesday to extend the scientific exchange for at least a year, under the name of "International Geophysical Cooperation 1959."

(UPD Dal las' 141 public schools, under federal court order to inte grate and prohibited by state law to do so without a refer endum, have filed suit to re solve the dilemma. In a suit filed Wednesday in 44th Civil District court, Dallas Independent , School District claimed it is not at fected by two state segrega tion laws, but carefully point ed out it was not "bringing this suit for the purpose of de claring either of the acts void." The schools claimed im munity from the state laws because they became effec tive after the U. S. Supreme PLEASE YOURSELF WHEN Champaign, 111. (UPD If you want to buy a painting for your home pick one you like that appeals to you and not an art work that other people say is a "good painting." For, said Nancy Ocrant, a University of Illinois home furnishings specialist, "wheth er it is a Rembrandt or a Pic asso, you won't enjoy having it in your home if you don't like it." Remember, too, Mrs. Ocrant said, that the physical size and character of the painting should "fit" into its surround ings. A misty painting in pale colors, For example, seems lighter and smaller than one depicting heavy forms in bright colors. ' Court ordered school integra tion in April, 1954, and after the New Orleans Federal Ap peals Court,, in July, 1957, specifically ordered . Dallas schools to integrate "with all deliberate speed." School attorney Andrew J. Thuss said, however, that Dal las schools will not be inte grated during the coming school year, no matter what the outcome of the suit may be. The main law the school district seeks to avoid requires a Texas school district to re ceive approval in a local op tion election before it inte grates. State law provides that if this procedure is not 'fol lowed the school district loses state funds, its students lose accreditation and its trustees are liable to a misdemeanor charge. Parents May Protest ', The second law stipulates that students may be segre gated as to scholastic achieve ment and other considerations not mentioning race, but that no students may be forced to attend an integrated school over his parents' written pro test. Both laws were passed by the last legislature and be came effective Aug. 23. 1957. Thus, the school board claims since federal courts specifically ordered Dallas school integration before the state laws became effective, the two Texas laws do not apply. Macmillan Bids To End Fighting On Cyprus Island London (UPD Prime Min ister Harold Macmillan made an all-out bid today to end three years of bloodshed on Cyprus and head off the threat of war between Greece and Turkey. Macmillan was flying to Athens for emergency talks with Greek Premier Constan tme Karamanlis on means to halt the costly intercommunal disorders on- the strategic is land colony in the Mediter ranean. About- 450 persons have been killed since the underground EOKA launched its anti-British campaign three years ago. Britain has 38,000 troops tied down on the island be cause of the fighting between Cypriots of Turkish and Greek descent. From Athens, Macmillan may fly to Ankara for similar talks with Premier Adnan Menderes, with whom he dis cussed the Cyprus question during the recent Baghdad Pact meeting in London. U.S. diplomatic trouble shooter Robert Murphy also is scheduled to fly from Cairo to Athens today. Sources in Athens speculated Murphy may take part in the talks which they saictcould remove "a major obstacle to the West ern alliance in this part of the world." The mounting killings since the .beginning of July more than 100 have plunged Cy prus into a state of virtual civil war between the Greek and Turkish communities. California Pair Held at Portland Portland (UPD Robert Dennis McCarthy, 38, was ar rested here Wednesday while working as a house painter and was taken before U. S, Commissioner Claire Mun- dorff on a warrant charging him with unlawful flight from California. William H. Williams, spec ial agent in charge of the FBI here, said the details of the McCarthy case were meager but that McCarthy apparent ly was wanted as a suspect in the May 31 death of Aubrey Paul Morgan at Areata, Calif. The man was jailed pending arrival of a complaint from the U. S. district attorney's office at Sacramento.
