Cost of Living
Is Expected To
Rise to New High
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Govern
ment stabilization chiefs look for
the over-all cost of living to hit
another new high later this
month.
“The ugly picture of rising
prices is plain to anyone with a
desire to see it,” Price Stabilizer
Ellis Arnall said.
His comment Friday night fol
lowed a Bureau of Labor Statis
tics' (BLS) report that food prices
have climbed to a new record—up
1.2 per cent for the two-.week
period ended July 15 and almost
16 per cent above June 1950 when
the Korean fighting began. Food
makes up about a third of the av
erage family’s budget.
Republicans were blamed by
Economic Stabilizer Roger L. Put
nam. “There’s no question that the
Republican party was voting to
cripple controls. The Democrats
were fighting to keep the power
of controls where they’re needed.”
Arnall said the BLS report re
veals that inflation still is a prob
lem and that prices generally can
be expected to move up.
The report, Arnall told a re
porter, shows the public can ex
pect “rising prices, higher living
costs, further depreciation of the
dollar; and fewer airplanes, tanks,
guns and equipment for the
amount of money we are spend
ing for national defense.

Fisherman Charges Japs
Poaching In Alaska Area
ANCHORAGE — Charges that
Japanese fishermen may be
poaching salmon from the annual
run as it rounds the Alaska Pen
insula enroute to Bristol Bay were
leveled by William S. Sutton, Sit
ka, fisherman and Alaska Native
Brotherhood leader.
Sutton just returned from Bris
tol Bay, where he says the fishing
was seriously depleted by the fact
that hundreds of floating seine
boats from Outside were operat
ing.
He says that he further be
lieves, after a conference with
Bob Reeve, owner of Reeve Aleu
tian Airways, that poaching of the
salmon as they headed for the
Bay area on their traditional
route just south and west of Cold
Bay may have had something to
do with it.
Reeve said he noticed a news
report in which Japanese reported
taking 60 tons of salmon from the
convention area in the North Pa
cific Ocean.
“This salmon was either poach- j
ed from American waters or taken j
from off the Aleutian Islands,” he
declared. “They are American fish
and it is definitely proof of the
adverse effects of Japanese fish
ing treaty.”
