MONDAY, Retail Sales Up On Strength of Hew Car Buying Washington - HW - Retail sales rose sharply in July, chiefly on the strength of hrisk buying of new cars, the government has reported. It also said personal incomes in creased moderately to another new high. In a third report, the gov ernment said the average fac tory work week dropped more than usual last month, but still was at its highest July level since 1950. The reports arc among bus iness indicators which Pres ident rvennedy will have con sidered when he announces in a radio-television speech day niuht whether he thinks the economy needs the stimu- lus of a tax cut now. If he j decides against an immediate reduction, he will seek one in January. . , Better Than Expected ; The gain in retail sales was ! better than expected. The i Commerce Department said; the July sales total of $10,- j 451,000,000 was $19 million above the May level. Retail buying had dropped in June to $19 1 billion. An all-time i high of $19.6 billion was post cd last April. A SI 3 bililon increase in . .... i pcrsoma i ncome . d f i rate of S442 b, Hon was $300 , million better than the May j June gain. But it was well be- . low advances oi .i Dinion a month earlier this year. Most of the. July increase came in wages and salaries, especially in construction where activity blossomed.

Provincial authorities in Kontum said. "The province chief is so desperate that he is going to see the president (Ngo Dinh Diem) personally if we do not get rice soon, "Wc have made many com plaints," they added, "but nothing happens." Bureaucracy Blamed The officials put the blame on the Saigon bureaucracy 'and its apparent inability to react quickly to an emer gency. In Kontum province alone an estimated 15.000 Montag nards have fled to more se cure areas along the main communication arteries since the first of the year. Of these, provincial author ities said, only about 2,000 arc able to provide for themselves. Rice was distributed to more than 9,000 in June. But i no rice has been given to them since. Almost 4,000 have nev er received any rice at all and are described as in desperate straits. Only 123 tons of rice has been distributed in that area since May. Of this, 96 tons was obtained from CARE and other American charity or ganizations. Provincial authorities said they purchased another 30 tons within the province for the tribesmen but were un able to distribute it because of transportation d i f f i culties, caused by Vict Cong am bushes along the main roads. In Pleiku province another estimated 15,000 Montagnards are in dire need of rice. They got only 100 tons in June from provincial authorities; none in July. Supplies Requested American military authori ties here have requested 300 tons of rice, medical supplies, tools and other essentials on an emergency basis from American aid authorities in Saigon. That request was made two weeks ago, they said. They still are awaiting a reply. Vietnamese officials said that at least 96.000 Montag nards have fled their villages to more secure zones during the past year.

Shelley G. My bcs. friend is having a fancy party out at her grandmother's, estate on Long Island. It's to cele brate her 11th birthday. All the girls are getting dressed up in glamorous clothes, and we're very excited. My mother is letting me wear a new organdie dress and long nylon stockings. Our argument is about shoes. Most of the others will be wearing party slippers with a tiny jet heel. But mother is making me wear flats. Why won't she realize that it's very important for me to wear what the other girls do? Mrs. B. G. I don't know why the words "estate on Long Island" have made Shel ley and her friends act as though they must dress for Hollywood. When she started her spiel about "everybody" wearing high heels (well, nig!i for an 11-year-old) I thought I'd do some checking. Out of the 20 girls invited, I called the parents of 10. About five agreed with me. The others acted wishy-washy. Either they take no real interest in guiding their daughters, or they're afraid to cross them. Only one mother said she ap- Cong terrorism. The Viet Cong seized supplies and ani mals from the tribesmen to sustain themselves. Veteran American military observers in the central high lands area warn that the Viet namese central govern m e n I must act quickly. ' If no help is forthcoming there is a danger they may turn to the Viet Cong or re turn to their homes in disgust. Another chance to win them over may never occur if this happens. These observers also noted that Vict Cong propaganda has been telling the tribesmen that government promises of food and clothing and medical aid will never be fulfilled. aUlil2E lilUil -iMttl L I BACON SLICED SWIFT'S PREMIUM 2-lb.

Besides, my shoe man agrees that the rais ed heel is unfit for young feet. The Council: There are two special joys of being young. One is the full savoring of the experiences which go na turally with each stage. And the second is anticipating what's still to come. How sad, then, to telescope the whole wondrous procession into a flat pile and dip into it care lessly at age 10, 11 or 12. For example, we recall the ugliness of a 7-year-old wear ing lipstick. Where, for her, is the glorious teen-age mo ment of the first adornment, the first stepping-out, with the carmined cupid's bow? To her, the careful outlining was no more than another crayon filling-in like those in her Mother Goose coloririg-book., She had been cheated. This brave mother is a Mrs. Canute trying to hold back the sea of "everybody's doing it." But there are ways of holding back a berserk tide. Note the dikes of Holland and the lev ees down in Dixie. And note Mrs. G.'s checkup phone calls. We commend her for track ing down and proving false that exaggerated "every body." And for taking a clear stand, defiance of which may well lead Shelley to regrets. While Shelley might, wear ing the teeter-shoes, feel a momentary triumph over the "mamma's babies" in comfort able flats, she's a loser on sev eral counts: taste, appearance, grace and freshness. On bony little-girl legs, such sophisti cated pumps often proclaim the presence of a spoiled brat. Shelley is fortunate in hav ing a mother who is doing her best to afford her the "right" thrills for the right age. Age 11 has plenty of its own the special pre-teen ; world. Stepping out in heels j is a milestone of its own and : more dramatic a few years j hence.
