No Cost of Living Index The Bureau of Labor Statistic periodically issues a consumer price index. Unfortunately, it seems to be widely and perhaps generally regarded as an accurate barometer of the cost of living. Sylvia Porter, a widely syndicated writer on business affairs, has devoted a column to the fallacies in that. She observes that the BLS index, which has hardly changed at all in many months." . . is no more an index of measuring our cost of living than I, Sylvia, am a man. It never was designed or intended for this." Miss Porter then went on to give some of the reasons why the index can't and doesn't tell the cost of living story. She said: "It does not reflect the sales that retailers the land over have been putting on . . . It does not even try to measure the varying amounts of the goods and services we buy as supplies and prices of the goods and services change. It does not report the shifts in our spending habits since 1950 nor even hint at the ingenuity of the typical American shopper. There isn't a cost of living index worthy of the name in our country." Your Birth By FRIDAY, JUNE 4—Born today you are highly intuitive but all often fail to act on your "humane". You postpone action, reconsidering all facets of the matter until the time for action is past and often a golden opportunity lost. You are inclined to be influenced too much by the opinion of others—a fatal attitude for you since if only you follow your own judgment, you will eventually cover you are always right! You have a strong emotional picture and have a high degree attraction for members of the opposite sex. You will probably have several opportunities to wed.

Just about any housewife will tell you that she's getting better buys, and in some cases very much better buys, than was the case a year ago. And just about any retailer will tell you that competition has been getting steadily more intense—which means that every seller of goods must do everything possible to attract and please the price-conscious public. Look Ahead, Graduates With the diploma season upon us the young people graduating from high schools and colleges are faced with some big decisions. There is frequently the temptation, for example, for the youngsters completing high school to skip further formal education in favor of a job. The fact that even beginning salaries now are what used to be considered high pay makes the temptation more severe. Similarly, those completing college, are often inclined to take jobs which offer good starting salaries but relatively little chance for advancement as against those which start lower but could lead to the top. It takes wisdom and restraint for the high school graduate to pass up what looks like big money in favor of further education. The same goes for the man just out of college who foregoes higher pay temporarily to gain greater opportunity. With many young people there is the question of what field to enter. The simplest answer on that is to carefully consider the businesses or professions for which one seems best suited and which he believes he would most enjoy. Then having made a choice give it all you've got. The measure of individual progress will almost invariably follow the measure of individual capacity and effort. There are no short cuts to success.

Othman's Views on Washington SituBy FREDERICK C. OTHMAN WASHINGTON—Nice thing about our Army, the strongest word you ever hear anybody in it utter is, "Darn." Or maybe, "Dang." This goes for the lowliest buck private straight on up to the top brass, like army counselor John Adams. Cuss words shock our fighting men. Or so I interpreted the sworn testimony of Roy Cohn, the chief counsel for Sen. Joe McCarthy's regular investigating cmomittee. Time after time, said Army counsel Adams some weeks ago during the present investigation of the McCarthy-Army fracas, Cohn subjected him to abusive language and cursed him. So now the special investigating committee's counsel, Ray Jenkins, who hails from Tennessee (where a cuss word seldom is heard), was cross-examining Cohn about his vocabulary. This, I would say, was educational, and you may read on—guarantee it—without danger of blushing. "Mr. Adams said you used obscene language that couldn't be repeated on television," began the scholarly gentleman from Tennessee. Counselor Cohn, a self-possessed young man of 27, said he'd heard about that. So he went out interviewing his friends, asking them if they had ever heard him using swear words. They had. They'd heard him, all right, but they said they didn't believe he cussed as much as most people. "I'm not asking you what your friends think about how you talk," roared Jenkins. "I'm asking you how you talk." Cohn wasn't so sure about that, either, because he had no idea what was the usual repertoire. He did say, though, that he retained in the back of his head no unusual words. "So when Mr. Adams swears that on four occasions obscene language in order with the status of Private vid Schine ...!" began again. "I used no vituperative language," Cohn interrupt course, he said, he may have some language, unspecified might possibly tingle that the TV audience, but it wasn't obscene. "Did your temper rise as Mr. Adams says, like of the sea?" insisted Jenny. Cohn said he'd never an emotional chart on temper, but that once he angry at Adams for whim Secretary of the Army Stevens were trying to o Army general who'd co with the McCarthy com- "Mr. Adams testified y him then." Jenkins proCohn replied. "He was a little bit bit," How little? asked Jenny. "I don't know what he the phrase, cursed him," O "But it certainly was an ate occasion to use some words you mentioned." This grieved Jenkins. He hadn't mentioned any ww. And there you are. E connected with the Army Congress is a gentleman. not cuss or chew, or go ww that do. Sometimes when gets upset, he may sudge!" But even that is heart never heard any of the g concerned use that phir point, if you insist on me this was the 24th day of ceedings and nothing mpened.

The lad is willing the "veep" 18 strokes, or hole. In all fairness, it be reported that Nixon had a club in hand until it popularizes to follow the news. Something unusual happened at the Jewish Community Center when a technical sergeant, William Charman, appeared before a group and gave a lecture on the hula dance. Not only that Sgt. Charman was his own illustrator. He wiggled through some of the dances in costume, grass skirts, no less. Let it be aid that the sergeant is no sissy. He gets no back talk from his fellow GIs at Bolling Air Force Base. He happens to be a native of Hawaii and knows a hula when he sees one. Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) was happy when he learned some of the government buildings had installed push button elevators. He thought it would help trim government payrolls. But instead, Norblad said he might bring exciting rewards today. VIRGO (Aug. 24-Sept. 23)—If at all possible, get away and out of town for two days. It will relax mounting tensions.

Let down tensions. Get into the country for some rest. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20)—Consider any important change in your plan of activity or even your hobby. It may not be well-advised just now. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 20)—Do something about making others happy and you will find a lot of joy on your own behalf, too. TAURUS (Apr.-May 20)—You could jump from the frying pan into the fire! Watch out that you don't act impulsively today. (Distributed by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) Ambling With Ann By Ann Wardell Saunders It cost 20th-Century ten barrels of water to shoot one of its key scenes for "Three Coins in the Fountain" at Rome's famous Fontana Di Trevi, because many of the Romans living near the world's most beautiful fountain obtain all of their drinking and washing water there. Before Director Jean Negulesco was granted permission to shoot, he had to provide two barrels of water at each of the five streets that converged on Fontana De Trevi; thus the color scenes and action were shot without interruption. And if you haven't seen this film with Jean Peters, Dorothy McGuire, Clifton Webb, and Maggie McNamara emoting, the scenery filmed in and around Rome is worth the price of admission. William Wyler's next production will be the sensational suspense novel, "The Desperate Hours," and will be launched late this summer with an all-star cast. This is the story of three escaped convicts who move into the home of a mid-western family, terrorize them for several suspense-packed days. It has some of the realistic dramatic flavor of "Detective Story." Katie Grayson and Oreste Kirop will warble the Jeanette Mac Donald-Dennis King roles in the remake of "The Vagabond King" at Paramount. Oreste, a young tenor born in Malta, was tested and signed last year in London. He has sung with the Carl Rosa Opera in England, with the Sadlers Wells Opera, and in January of this year he sang the role of the Duke of Mantua in "Rigoletto" at Covent Garden. Gracie Allen is bragging that she will become a grandmother come November. Her daughter Sandra is expecting. Let's hope Gracie hasn't garbled this one! Grace Kelly comes by her talent as much as most people. "I'm not asking you what your friends think about how you talk," roared Jenkins. "I'm asking you how you talk." Cohn wasn't so sure about that, either, because he had no idea what was the usual repertoire. He did say, though, that he retained in the back of his head no unusual words.

Of course, he said, he maybe did use some language, unspecified, that might possibly tingle the ears of the TV audience, but it really wasn't obscene. "Did your temper rise and fall, as Mr. Adams says, like the tides of the sea?" insisted Jenkins. Cohn said he'd never prepared an emotional chart on his own temper, but that once he did get angry at Adams for what he and Secretary of the Army Robert Stevens were trying to do to an Army general who'd cooperated with the McCarthy committee. "Mr. Adams testified you cursed him then." Jenkins prompted. Cohn replied. "He was a little bit wrong," "How little?" asked Jenkins. "I don't know what he means by the phrase, cursed him," Cohn said, "But it certainly was an appropriate occasion to use some of those words you mentioned." This grieved Jenkins. He said he hadn't mentioned any words. And there you are. Everybody connected with the Army and the Congress is a gentleman. He does not cuss or chew, or go with girls that do. Sometimes when he really gets upset, he may say, "Oh judge!" But even that is hearsay. I've never heard any of the gentlemen concerned use that phrase.

Farmer McCabe (all rights reserved) Results Are the Proof of News-correspondent recently saw an unpublished letter penned by Winston Churchill on his twenty-fifth birthday, when he was a prisoner of war in a Boer camp in South Africa. It was written in longhand to an American relative and said: "There is so much to be done in the world and so little time to do it." What a lot of things Winston Churchill has crowded into the more than half century that has elapsed since then! Now some of his countrymen are beginning to ask if the day is at hand when he can lay down the cares of office. Leadership becomes fragile if a change is in prospect. For, when people start thinking in terms of a new prime minister, they unconsciously begin to discount the strength of the incumbent and cloak his policies with an ephemeral quality they do not possess. For Americans, of course, the importance of the continuity of joint policies in international affairs cannot be overestimated. A British Prime Minister who is half-American by blood is a rare occurrence, and when this is coupled with a breadth of view that comes from so many years of intimate association with the top-level men of the United States government, including President Eisenhower, it seems fantastic to be reading in the press that the two countries allegedly have been at a breaking New Products NEW YORK — (UP) — A new process promises cleaner hands and clothes for office workers who operate duplicating machines. The paper on the master copy is treated to do away with the smudging problem—a familiar one to typists. In conventional equipment the carbon sheets stain on contact. With the "Azograph" process, either an electrically-driven or a hand-cranked duplicating machine may be used. Each master copy is good for 50 sheets. After the master copy is prepared, it is set on the feed table of the duplicator which then turns out papers ranging from office memos to diagrams and layouts. Since the master sheet does not stain, it is conveniently used on sketches or statistical material which must pass from hand to hand before copies are made. (A. B. Dick, Co., Chicago) Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY HOLLYWOOD (UP)—A group of movieland playboys has instituted the economy move of the century. They opened their own nightclub so they can pay themselves for their parties. Actor John Carroll, oilman Bob Calhoun, insurance agent Geary Steffan, and their pals long have decorated such plush watering holes as Ciro's and Mocambo nightclubs. "Our group of seven could wind up spending $1,500 a month that way, and we decided that was silly," explained Carroll. "We found a club that was up for auction, so we bought it. Now we can still have our parties, but at our own club. It's cheaper because we charge less." Another purpose of the club, he said, is privacy. "When you walk in, you know 75 percent of the people experience..." I see where the Army-McCarthy earings have got to the place here they bother Ike's Golf game.

(Majestic Radio & Television, New York) A new type of fluorescent lighting is designed to bring out the true color of items displayed in a retail store. The secret lies in the special phosphor used in the lamp coating. This phosphor adds almost 40 per cent more red, at the same time subduing some of the blue-green which helps to create color confusion for shoppers. (Sylvania Electric Products, Inc., Chicago) Durability and washability are combined with fire-retardant features in a new resin-base paint. On contact with flame or excessive heat, the paint immediately swells and chars to provide an insulating blanket of non-combustible ash over the affected area. Available in a dozen pastel colors, the paint may be applied by brush or spray. In addition to its fire-retardant quality, the coating resists mildew and fungus action (Glidden Co., Cleveland) Our group of seven could wind up spending $1,500 a month that way, and we decided that was silly," explained Carroll.

"When you walk in, you know 75 per cent of the people already, and the other 25 per cent you want to know," said Steffan, who is Jane Powell's ex-husband. They'd be of the same quality—the same caste. Many movie people are afraid to do as they please in public. They can't relax. In a private club they cah. No autograph hounds, no promoters. The younger set of the movie colony and also many older night-club habitues endorse the idea of economy and privacy. So far, the 234 members of the "Table Hoppers Club," include Spike Jones, Ginny Simms, Elizabeth Taylor, Donald O'Connor, Pier Anseil. Jerry Lewis, hotel heir Nicky Hilton, Scott Brady, Bob Stack and attorney Gregg Bautzer. Pretty Nora Haymes, ex-wife of crooner Dick Haymes, sits in the club office as its social secretary. She plans to organize tennis, golf and rhumba lessons. The little club is packed every night and many members often entertain the customers for free. Choosy About Members "We don't accept any member unless he is known by other members," said Steffan. "Once a very wealthy and prominent man came in and was drunk. He was thrown out and we wrote him a letter telling him why. "We're delighted with our success. Before, we had good times at various clubs around town. But we never got our money's worth. In most places, it's $50 just to sit down and have a drink and talk to a few people."
