WASHINGTON, Oct 28

campaign.

terested in the Republican organization and in keeping Congress
under qop control.
A week ago, Eisenhower said
he wasn't going to use the pres
idency as a campaign instrument
in partisan elections and would
stay out of strictly local political
scraps. Today he gave the impres
sion he might take the stump in
1954 for a. GOP program in Con
gress, if not for individual party
candidates.
Covering a wide range of top
ics, Eisenhower said he has no
plans for cutting U.S. combat
strength, a special session of Con
gress to tussle with the general!
farm program, or a meeting with
Prime Minister Churchill of Brit
ain.

Living Cost Sets
Record High
In United Slates
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 (11))
The average American paid more
for . his basic . living needs last
month than ever before in 'his
tory.
That's what the consumer price
index for September showed when
it was released today by the La
bor Department's Bureau of La
bor Statistics.
The index—a composite of av
erage retail prices paid for oasic
goods and services in 46 cities—
crept .to 115.2 per cent of the
1947-1949 average.
This was two-tenths 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 up
ward.
The index now stands one per
cent higher than it did a year ago
and 13.2 oer cent above the pre-
Korean War level of June. 1950.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported that food prices, which
make up about one third of the
index dropped a fraction be
tween Ano - ust rind September.
Drop Predicted
However. this was n - tore than
offset by increases in the cost of
clothing, housing, medical atten
tion. beauty shoo services and
other personal care, recreation
-nd transportation.
The bureau reported a contin
ued drop in orices of 'fruits and
vegetables and a moderate decline
in meat, poultry. and fish prices.
At- the same time egg prices
roe seasonally in most cities and
other increases were scored by
coffee, fresh milk, bread, lard and
rsqtaurarat meals.
Food nr:ces last month were 1.4
per cent below September. 1952.
Rents last month were 6.5 per
lcent higher than a* year ago and
:15.9. per cent aboye June, 1959.
' This, the bureau said, reflected
"continuing effects of rent de
control."

Dulles said he lifted the 'ban
because Israel has pledged it

Dean Ho tes to End
Korean Deadlock
PANIkiIUNJOM, Thursday, Oct. 29 (JP)—U.S. Envoy Arthur Dean
today hands over to the Communists a "formula" he hopes will
crack a three-day deadlock in his mission to set up a Korean peace
conference.
Dean has been insisting that the Communist Chinese and North
Korean delegates begin talking
about a time and place for the
conference. The original opening
date under the armistice was yes
terday.
Communist Demands
Dean gave no details. A reliable
source said however, the "for
mula" probably' would be a propo
sition that the delegates change
the subject to the time and place
for the conference.
. The argument would be that
the delegates have devoted most
of the first three days to Commu
nist demands that Asian neutrals
take part in the peace conference
and it is time to change the
subject.
The Communists are unlikely
to agree to this. They have in
sisted the first order of business
should be their proposal that Rus
sia, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and
Burma be allowed to join the
belligerents at the conference
table
Outburst Expected
Dean is not authorized to
change the United Nations stand,
which voted down this proposal
when it was adVanced by Russia.
The Communists were expected
to burst out again over Dean's
statement Wednesday that Rus
sia had openly sided in the Ko
rean War,
by furnishing arms to
the Red Chinese and North Ko
reans.
The Communists bristled Wed
nesday when Dean said 'their
claim that Russia took no part in
the Korean War was "really very
funny."
The Chinese delegate at once
leaped to •a defense of Russia
which dragged out the meeting
40 minutes paSt the two-hour
limit originally agreed, upon.

6113 Gls
Die from
Atrocities
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 (2P)—
The Army made public tonight
a grisly story of Communist atro
cities in the Korean War, report
ing that probably 6113 Americans
died. in the blood bath.
In what Secretary of the Army
Robert T. Stevens called a "cold
blooded program of murder and
torture," 29,815 persons are esti
mated to have lost their lives.
The report was compiled by the
War Crimes Division of the Army
in Korea and - backed by photo
graphic evidence pictures of
horribly mutilated American sol
diers and airmen, rows of bodies
of South Korean soldiers and civ*
Mans, heaps , of blackened corpses
of men roasted alive.
1 There is "convincing and con
' firmed" proof, the Army said,
that at least 138 Americans were
massacred by the Korean Reds
in October, 1950, during the evac
uation of the Communist capital
of Pyongyang.
Another atrocity cited in the
report told the story of 10 U.S.
Marines who went out on patrol
Jan. 29, 1951, and never returned.
Their naked bodies, hands bound
behind their backs, were found
later in circumstances which in
dicated they had been used for
bayonet practice.
