Not a "Cost of Living" Index The Bureau of Labor's Consumer Price Index, which is commonly and erroneously called the "Cost of Living Index," hit a new high recently. At the same time, as any consumer knows, the prices of many items in general use, running a wide gamut from beer to used cars, have been substantially below the levels of a year or more ago. This confusion results from various factors. First of all, as the Bureau itself points out, the Index "measures only changes in prices; it tells nothing about changes in the kinds and amounts of goods and services families buy, or the total amount families spend for living, or the differences in living costs in different places . . . If families buy poorer or better things, or buy more or less Holidays always b trol, additional safety fic hazards.

This confusion results from various factors. First of all, as the Bureau itself points out, the Index "measures only changes in prices; it tells nothing about changes in the kinds and amounts of goods and services families buy, or the total amount families spend for living, or the differences in living costs in different places . . . If families buy poorer or better things, or buy more or less than they bought in 1952, the index does not undertake to measure the change in their spending that results from these changes in their level of living." Secondly, the Index cannot accurately reflect seasonal changes in the prices of many commodities nor can it quickly reflect changes in buying habits. Thirdly, an index of this kind is necessarily a complex affair, and many doubt if it is or is ever likely to be a completely dependable barometer. In any event, it would be something of a tragedy if large numbers of people again got the idea that prices are in danger of running away, that manufacturers and merchants are cashing in on the consumer, and that the solution lies in more laws and restrictions. In many fields, there is a far stronger "buyers market" than there has been for many years. In all fields, goods are in abundance and competition is intense at both the producing and distributing levels—and that guarantees that prices will be as low as today's cost of doing business will allow. A Startling Verdict It is natural enough for Americans to feel outrage over the decision last week of a United Nations tribunal that four American UN employees, previously fired for refusal to answer questions by U.S. authorities regarding Communist affiliations, are to be reinstated in their jobs, and that seven others are to be awarded damages $122,500. The decision means that in these cases the U.S. will be represented in the UN, against its will, by individuals who have refused to disavow a part in the international Communist conspiracy. It means that American taxpayers, who underwrite 35 per cent of the cost of UN operations, must pay that percentage of the awarded damages. It is indeed a bitter pill for patriotic Americans to swallow. In one sense, however, the tribunal's decision is cause for gratification. For it dramatically and unmistakably illustrates, for the benefit of many sincere Americans who have been deluded into believing that this country can with impunity submerge her sovereignty to some form of world government, the fundamental fallacy in all such proposals. America represents only about six per cent of the world's population. If the majority of the world's other damages. It is indeed a bitter pill for patriotic Americans to swallow. In one sense, however, the tribunal's decision is cause for gratification. For it dramatically and unmistakably illustrates, for the benefit of many sincere Americans who have been deluded into believing that this country can with impunity submerge her sovereignty to some form of world government, the fundamental fallacy in all such proposals. America represents only about six per cent of the world's population. If the majority of the world's other people are willing to give Communists political power, if they do not share our beliefs in press and religious freedoms, if they do not wish the protection of local trial by jury when accused of crime, or if they hold different concepts of the individual's relationship to government than we, that is certainly their privilege. As a minority country, we are powerless to make our views prevail over those of the rest of the world, and indeed, we have no moral justification for insisting on so doing. In clarifying that all-important lesson, the U. N. tribunal has rendered America a service. SONGS OF A SONNETEER BY R. LOUIS SCOTT "SACRED MOMENTS!" There are things much too sacred to be rove Into a poet's slender web of rhymes: Dawnings—and dusks; silences interwove With lilting laughter: sorrow, too, at times Proves itself salt whose savor would be missed Were it not there! The distant midnight chimes Which warn us that the moments of each tryst Are fleeting symbols which the morrow waits To audit balances—on why we kissed? Then too, a rhymester's passion overrates, For him, at least, the harps of Paradise: So while your dream to my each rhyme vibrates Let us find bliss deep in each other's eyes— And treasure sacred moments—poet-wise! NO PLACE TO HIDE School Days Again School is about to open again for millions of formeria children. There is no especial news in the Californians are proud of their educational system, school terms open and close with the regularity of seasons. Much thought concerning them is on the some side—about problems of finance in many districts of overcrowding resulting from the continuing growth in population. Aside from such difficulties, we take our sights for granted, and fortunate we are as a people that can take them for granted. While schools are all over the U.S., schools lie in ruin over war-wreck Korea, and half-starved children wander among the ruins. The fact that a school door is open every American child is a commonplace circumstance with us—but it is a circumstance for which everyican citizen should be grateful to Providence. Othman's Views on Washington Sc BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN WASHINGTON—John Maragon, the forgotten man of the Democrate, finally got a break today. Judge Edgar J. Murdock of the U.S. tax court said the Government could not, either, take his house away from him. John, you may recall when reminded, was a habitue of the White House a few years back, a friend of President Truman from the old days in Kansas City, and an operator in businesses too numerous to catalogue here. Then suddenly his little world of deals in bananas, perfumes, and errands involving borrowers from the Reconstruction Finance Corp. collapsed when the Senate investigated him. During these proceedings came tales of freeres free for big wigs, a mink coat to a White House secretary, and flags of perfume on flying machines from the house, which turned out a beauty, but his customary executive offices turn with no money to pay for John and his wife sold the house and moved into the John also transferred a terrest in the new house to and that's where the thought she'd been guilty of duggery. Judge Murdock them. He cleared Mrs. Mughuis and found that she liable for any of her liabilities. So I had a little chat with who is a neighbor of minigina. After years of despair... The Publisher Comments Holidays always bring out the need for traffic control, additional safety measures and the removal of traffic hazards. Anaheim has one obvious hazard that causes inestimable delay in time to motorists, creates a dangerous bottleneck and unless removed will bring about the loss of life to pedestrians. This condition exists at the corner of West Palm and North Palm Streets where diagonal parking is still in existence on a heavily trafficked thorofare. Previously diagonal parking was a necessity for the purpose of convenience to patrons, more cars can be parked in a given area along a street when parked diagonally than parallel. But with the increase in traffic on our streets it has been proven that cars backing into these lines of traffic from a diagonal position was too hazardous. Also, the need for wider streets has become mandatory to handle traffic; it is much less expensive to park cars parallel than to widen existing thorofares. Foreseeing this, Anaheim now has a city ordinance that requires off-street parking facilities, and most existing organizations have complied by obtaining parking lots for their people. For this reason the need for diagonal parking is no longer required. Before a fatal accident takes place, it seems that it would be wise-for the City fathers to take the initiative and enforce the parallel parking law on the corner of North Palm and west Center Streets and in any area where diagonal parking is creating a hazard. AS IT WAS TOLD TO ME by HARMAN NICHOLS WASHINGTON (UP) — George Papanicolas started out with nothing, worked up to 36 cents and now counts his stack in six figures. Papanicelas, and let's just call him George hereafter, is a prominent District of Columbia lawyer and a nationally known Greek-American leader. He is friend to many a biggie on Capitol Hill. Recently he built a 20 room palace on 50 acres across the lane from the Congressional Country Club. Small Beginnings. George made his fortune by piling one little brick on top of another in the real estate business. George wasn't always in the chips. There was the time he was going to high school out in Michigan and needed some pin money. His brother owned a couple of movie houses and offered our lad a meal ticket plus sleeping pad if he would slap paste on the billboards and put up signs telling the people what attraction was coming next. brother kind of snickered, thinking he had pulled a cutie. But our George won. He lined up all his high school chums and offered them half price tickets, half a minute after the second show started. He made a small pile, but, as we said, later was to reach a point where his fortune amounted to the above mentioned 36 cents. Shrewd Boy It was at this point that he signed a "contract" with a cousin named Art. They put two minds together and, with George's 36 cents, went into the face cream business. This was in the long ago when ingredients were cheap. The 36 cents bought a pound of paraffin, a dab of citric acid, and a few small jars. Then they were out of funds, but still needed perfume. George thought up something. He wrote to a lot of perfume companies, said he was setting up shop and asked for some samples. He got them, and he and Art were in business. (Incidentally, White House a few years back, a friend of President Truman from the old days in Kansas City, and an operator in businesses too numerous to catalogue here. Then suddenly his little world of deals in bananas, perfumes, and errands involving borrowers from the Reconstruction Finance Corp. collapsed when the Senate investigated him. During these proceedings came tales of freeres free for big wigs, a mink coat to a White House secretary, and flags of perfume on flying machines from Paris. John refused to talk, except to say that he couldn't even remember a bank account of his in Texas. The Senate accused him of perjury, the criminal courts concurred and John served all but 12 days of a two-year term in prison, laboring in the laundry. Hardly had he returned to his new white house in McLean, Va., with his debt to society paid, before the Commissioner of Internal Revenue charged him with defrauding the Government of taxes in 7944, 1945, 1947, and 1948 for a total, including penalties of $25,545.36. The Commissioner proposed to slap a lien on his house, which happened to be valued at almost this same amount. John said the Government couldn't do this because his wife Helen owned half of his residence. This was news to the tax collectors, who immediately charged the bewildered Mrs. Maragon with being a party to skullduggeries. She didn't know for sure what they were talking about, but to court she wants to appeal the ruling. The evidence there indicated that the Maragons were living simply in $16,000 bungalow in McLean, when Your Birthday Forecast (BY STELLA) TUESDAY, September 8—Born today, you are sympathetic and understanding with everyone with whom you come in contact. You are always helping out others but in this fashion actually you often give yourself a boot up! Those whom you help do not forget easily and may come your aid, quite unexpectedly, when you need it most. You are devoted and loyal friend and while you may have many acquaintances, your circle of close associates will be highly selective. You have considerable of the daydreamer in your make-up and are not always as pushing and aggressive in getting what you want as you should. You all back and wait for something to turn up," when you would get further if you went out and made things happen! You believe that if you do your work efficiently and conscientiously, you are bound with no money to pay for John and his wife wife for house and moved into the house also transferred arrest in the new hour so that there's where the thought she'd been guilty; diggery. Judge-Murdoch them. He cleared Mrs. Murdoch found that she liable for any of her liabilities. So I had a little chat with who is a neighbor of minigina. After years of desiring here was John bubbling on with good humor. At last at last, he said, at long received a break. He could his own house and the rule that his wife was cent as he'd always know be. I wondered about the John owed the collector. Guessed he owed it, all signed papers saying he problem was paying it. He said he hoped that ment would give him an idea plan allowing him to make contributions. And who hope to find the money them? That was the rub. John been among the jobs return from prison. He'd erhalten chances of employment said but his hopes always dashed when his prospectiveployers got to thinking headlines they read monkeyshakes out the side the White House. If he ever does get a John, he intends to pay it can't help but say I hold it. (Copyright, 1958, by Unre Syndicate, Inc.) George made his fortune by piling one little brick on top of another in the real estate business. George wasn't always in the chips. There was the time he was going to high school out in Michigan and needed some pin money. His brother owned a couple of movie houses and offered our lad a meal ticket plus sleeping pad if he would slap paste on the billboards and put up signs telling the people what attraction was coming next. George took the offer. He said that the meals were fine and the bed, straw and all, was sleepable enough, but where was the money? The brother said that could be fixed easily. He would give George all that was taken in after the start of the second show. The named Art. They put two minds together and, with George's $6 cents, went into the face cream business. This was in the long ago when ingredients were cheap. The 36 cents bought a pound of parfin, a dab of citric acid, and a few small jars. Then they were out of funds, but still needed perfume. George thought up something. He wrote to a lot of perfume companies, said he was setting up shop and asked for some samples. He got them, and he and Art were in business. (Incidentally, George does not recommend his formula. It sold all right but it didn't do the faces of a lot of nice ladies much good.) Anyhow, that was the beginning. Abd who can deny that George did not make a pretty nice thing out of nothing plus $6 cents?

He was mander at the annual If It's News You'll The Bulletin The David Lawrence Dispatch (BY DAVID LAWRENCE) WASHINGTON, Sept. 8—Senator Paul Douglas of Illinois, Democrat, would be classed as a "Liberal" by members of his party and hence as one who condemns loose charges and wants Investigating Committees—in fact, all members of congress—not to indict anybody without proof and to refrain from character assassination against any group of citizens, whether it be the clergy or the press. Yet a prepared statement just issued by the Illinois Senator puts him in the very category which he and other "Liberals" have so often condemned—politicians who accuse without proof and who do not hesitate to impugn the integrity of a whole group of citizens if it suits a political purpose to do so. Here is what Senator Douglas says: "Is the Administration Postal Rate plan a payoff for the publishers? It is a fact that the ten top magazine publishers in the country account for over three-fourths of the total volume of second-class mail, and it is also a fact that all ten of these publishers supported the Republican ticket in 1952. "The previous Democratic Administration had sought to cut their subsidies drastically in order to protect the taxpayer. I doubt that the new proposals are a Republican Quid Pro Quo, but nevertheless it is striking how the political philosophy of the publishers coincides with their continuing to receive hundreds of millions of dollars in mailing subsidies. I think I should add that the big newspapers do not get much of this subsidy." The innuendo in the senator's statement is plain. He implies that the magazine publishers are the beneficiaries of a Republican Administration and perhaps were not so benefited under a Democratic regime. But the fact is the Democratic party controlled both houses don't share the second-class mail rate advantages to the same extent as nationally distributed publications. Mr. Douglas also omitted in his statement to sell the public that the large magazine publishers now are bitterly opposing the increases recommended by the Eisenhower Administration. This correspondent, although himself engaged for several years now in a publishing enterprise, has never opposed the increases in second-class mail rates recommended to congress by either Republican or Democratic administrations, and believes the public should pay separately from the subscription price the postage charges for any publication delivered by mail just as the recipient pays the transportation cost of any other article shipped to him. There is a very good case for increasing postal rates beyond what either the Republican or the Democratic administrations have ever proposed. But that case can be best made by the monopolistically inclined who would like to crush competition. While it is true, for example, that ten magazine publishing companies may send through the mails three-fourths of the second-class - mail matter, it is also a fact that the remaining one-fourth comes from 20,000 smaller periodicals, which provides jobs for hundreds of thousands of printers and editorial employees. Postal rates are increased, they have to uniform so the same legislation that seeks to impose higher rates on the larger companies penalizes the smaller companies which have narrow margins of profits and would go out of business altogether. The late Senator Huey Long, when governor of Louisiana, persuaded the State Legislature to pass a law imposing a heavy tax on newspapers of large circulation with no money to pay for it. So John and his wife sold their old house and moved into the new one. John also transferred a half interest in the new house to his wife and that's where the tax med thought she'd been guilty of skildugery. Judge Murdock fixed them. He cleared Mrs. Margon of guilt and found that she was not liable for any of her husband's liabilities. So I had a little chat with John, who is a neighbor of mine in Virginia. After years of despondency, here was John bubbling over again with good humor. At last, he said, at last, he said, at long last, he received a break. He could live in his own house and the court had ruled that his wife was as innocent as he'd always known her to be. I wondered about the $25,000 John owed the collector. He said he guessed he owed it all right; he signed papers saying he did. His problem was paying it. He said he hoped the Government would give him an installment plan, allowing him to make weekly contributions. And where did he hope to find the money to pay them? That was the rub. John said he's been among the jobless since his return from prison. He'd had several chances of employment he said but his hopes always were dashed when his prospective employers got to thinking about the headlines they'd read concerning monkeyshines out the side door of the White House. If he ever does get a job, said John, he intends to pay his debt. I can't help but say I hope he gets it. (Copyright, 1963, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

If It's News You'll See It In The Bulletin To commemorate the 77th birthday of Bruno Walter, Columbia has gone to the trouble of presenting him in a phase of his musicianship which is one of its glories but for which he has never had enough photographic recognition. That phase is Walter, the Mozart conductor, and he is one of the glorious Mozartans of our time. The commemoration records number three: one of the baritone-bassarias from "The Marriage of Pigaro," plus three concert arias, sung by George London; one of soprano arias from six Mozart operas, sung by Eleanor Steber; and one of the 40th, G minor, and 35th, D major, symphonies. In the last Walter used the New York Philharmonic-Symphony; in the first two, the Columba Symphony. The Walter realization of the G minor is as polignantly compelling as any reviewer can recall. If there could be but one example of his art available on records, this one might well be the choice. There is no desire to diminish his stature as a Beethoven conductor, either. You think of Walter — and of Toscanini—in listening to Sir Thomas Beecham's playing, with the Royal Philharmonic, of Beethoven's third symphony, the Erloes (Columbia). Walter is the Beethoven philosopher, Toscanini, U.S. Beethoven actionist. By this measure, Sir Thomas is the Beethoven sophisticate and his Erloes is the Erloes as filtered through the sensibilities of a worldly, erudite, and elderly artist removed by some 150 years from the Erloes' creation. —Delos Smith There's No Substitute for Paid Circulation. What is significant is that Mengalberg was exceptionally versed in Bachian musicality, exceptionally gifted in compelling huge executants forces to do his precise binding.

Haa Baby Teeth Jimmy sat reading a book about motorcycles in the living room of the new ranch-style house he bought for his parents in suburban Sepulveda. "At Columbia Records they noticed the difference in my voice from a year ago," he said between chapters. It's gettin' deeper. It hasn't cracked yet, though. I hope it'll change gradually. "I still have four baby teeth," he added hopefully. As insurance for the day when Jimmy will have to abdicate as a child singer, Columbia has a heavy backlog of his tunes to release. Meantime, fresh newcomers recently from the cradle are cashing in on the child singer sad. There's Molly Bee and Baby Pam —there'll all good," drawn Jimmy. Jimmy. Likes Girls Young Boyd started up the ladder at 12 after he won a local talent contest that brought him television jobs. He graduated to Frank Sinatra's TV show, to movies, records and personal appearances. Now he likes girls too. His fan mail pours in from love-struck subdebs. Jimmy giggled that he dates females "to parties and shows and things." Later the red-haired boy in jeans and a Hawaiian print shirt dashed outside to try out his new motorcycle. He roared round and round the house. His mother watched each time he hove into view through the picture window. He's grown four inches in the last two years," she said. "His brother's voice didn't change until he was 16, so maybe Jimmy's will hold out."
