WASHINGTON. (AP)-The aver- age American paid more for his basic living needs last. month than ever before in history.

Thatfs what the consumer price index for September showed when it was released W "nesday by the Labor Department's Bureau of La- bor Statistics.

The index-is composite of aver- age retail prices paid for basic goods and services in 46 cities - crept to 115.2 per cent of the 1947- 1949 average.

This was 2-10tha of one per cent above the previous record level in mid-August. It was the seventh straight month in which the cost of living has inched upward.

The index now stands one per cent higher than it did a year ago and 13.2 per cent above the nre-Korean war level of June, 1050.

Basic Living costs Touch New High In United States g

lto comment on lvilng costs at his ,press conference. Miiy Craig, cor- respondent for the Portland Press Herald and other Maine popes. inquired whether Mrs. Eisenhower had told him anything about the high cost of living in the White House.

The president said with a grin that he would not take up the time of the other reporters by repeat- lng all Mrs. Eisenhower had told him about the high cost of living- for food particularly-in the Wlilte House.

I-ifs mood changed when Mrs. Craig asked him whether he wasn't going to pay any attention to ,the consumer in trying to solve the farm problem.

Why. the President asked tartly, did she suppose the administra- tion is working so hard? The easy way would be to guarantee every- body everything they asked for. he went on. But he said he is trying to work for 160,000,000 people and there has to be a balance in order to avoid trouble.

The grand total of probable vic- tims of what Stevens termed the ticslculated brutality" of the enemy was placed at 29,015.

statistical charts contained in the report showed that the great bulk of the atrocities occurad in the year beginning with the start of the war June 8, 1000, with the high tide of the Red blood bath coming durln the first six months of the enemy advance.

The charts also showed that by far the greatest number of war crimes were committed by North Koreans ('1! per cent). only 2'1: per cent was charged to the Chinese Communists. Blame for the remainder was not fixed be- cause the army said it was un- known.

Good Progress

"Control measures have resulted in steadily declining tuberculosis death rates and for the first time has not a long waiting list for admission," Mr. Sidney T. Green. president of the P. E. I. Tuberculosis League, stated in his report at the annual dinner meetlngi held yesterday at the Charlottetown. .

However, he felt that preventive measures were not keeping up with developments in treatment as over 100 new active cases a. year are being detected. But there were en- couraging signs in the right direct- ion in the increasing number of people being referred for x-rays by family physicians and public health nurses and the number of requests being received from organizations and businesses for the services oi the x-ray unit.

Mr. Green said that reports to be presented reflected another suc- cessful operating year and a. con- tinuing liquid financial position. Credit for the latter, he said. should go so many Island people who support the Christmas seal sales. This, he thought, reflected confidence in the League's oper- ations and an increasing aware- ness that tuberculosis is still one of the major health problems.

He said the major portion of the operating costs of the x-ray unit comes from grants and without them the League could not long continue to give free x-raying. He expressed appreciation to the Pro- vlnclal Government authorities who make this possible.

speaking briefly at financial

V matters he said that replacement

of equipment must be done by the League and for this reason a de- preciation fund in the form of bonds had been established. They have not had to be used yet and return a small income to the Lea- gue. i .

plea for the x-raylng of older peo- ple. He said that many parents felt they had discharged their duty to the children when they sent them to the x-ray unit. He said this was small protection for the youngsters if next week they come in contact with an adult who has tuberculosis, unrecognized because he had not been x-rayed.

He noted that here last year there were no deaths at all under 15 years of age, and only one un- der 20. He wanted to stress this point because it indicated that the chief reservoir of tuberculosis in the Province is now among adults, and not all young adults either. He said that one-third of all deaths are now in people over 50 years of age. It appeared to him that only a small proportion of the older age group are turning out and every effort should be made to have them attend.

Education Needed

Some Concern Felt In

Canada But Exports Nor Endangered.

OTTAWA, (cri .. The llnllecl States farm surplus disposal pro- gram has Canada a little worried but. so far it has not endangered Canadian exports, federal officials said Wednesday.

The latest. move which brought some concern here was the dis- closure that Brltain, traditionally Canada's major food market, is negotiating with the U. S. to buy some American surpluses for sterling.

A London dispatch said that grain, fats, butler, meat and meat products have been mentioned as being available.

The U. S. has huge food surpluses and it has been authorized by Con- gress to accept as-payment sterl- ing or francs. Britain and other countries must pay in dollars for Canadian foods.

officials here observed, however, that the American disposal pro- gram calls for shipment of the surpluses through channels that will not disrupt trade between friendly countries. it also bars "dumping" of the surpluses in im- poi-ting countries at rock-bottom prices.

officials Surprised

One official said there have been reports that Britain may buy American apples under the plan, but there now are doubts that the U. S. will do so.

There also had been doubts that Britain would buy American tob- acco under the program, but a dis- patch from Washington Wednes- day said that the U. K. will take 320,000,000 worth.

This came at 9. surprise lio of- ficials here. But. they still main- tained this will have no immediate impact on Canadian trade since the U. K. already has stated it will buy 25,000,000 pounds of Canadian flue-cured tobacco from the 1953 crop. This was considered a "pretty fair amount."

The big question here is: will the U. S. go so far as to sell sur- plus wheat under this program? That might mean a major shift of British wheat-buying to the U. S. from Canada.

Average Wages In Manufacturing

OTTAWA, (CF)-Canadians em- ployed in manufacturing earned a new high average of d58.30 a. week in 1952, the Bureau of Statistics reported Wednesday.

Earnings were up in all prov- lnoes during 1052. the bureau said. Here are the figures by provinces with the 1951 wage bracketed: British Columbia, 304.32 (360.59; Ontario, S6133 (056.73); Alberta 557.58 (052.68); Newfoundland. 356-36 (354.15): Quebec. 35419 (350.40?
