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.

of the. July increase came in

in construction where activity

were "presently in a state of
starvation."
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.
They said most were flee

Shelley G. I w a n t to
wear "heels" to the birthday
party.
Mrs. B. G. - At 11, a child';
shoe will look and feel better
oh her.
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.

proved so as not to embarrass
her daughter, but wouldn't
let the child wear the shoes
after the party.
Well, we can't afford shoes
for one wearing. 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.
But, since we know how
"martyred" a child can feel
when forced to be different,
