BLS has announced six sep-
arate times, starting in late 1950,
that its old index would be dis-
continued at the end of 1952.
More than three million workers
are covered by contracts which
tie their wages to the old index.
Some of these contracts have al-
ready been rewritten to fit the
new index, but many more have
not.
This led to requests from both
industry and many labor unions
that the old index be continued a
few months to allow more time
for changing cost-of-living con-
tracts to fit the new index. Pres-
ident Eisenhower bowed to these
requests and the old index will
be continued until the end of
June.

By ROWLAND EVANS JR.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21(A) —
A brand new cost-of-living in-
dex, computed after an exhaus-
tive three-year price and spend-
ing survey across the nation,
makes its first appearance next
week.
Ewan Clague, comptroller of
the Labor department’s Bureau
of Labor Statistics, says the
new index, though’not “an exact
measurement,” will be the “most
comprehensive” in the past 20
years.
The consumers’ price index is
nothing more than a monthly
measurement of the change in
prices — with the accent on
“change”—of hundreds of goods
and services bought by moderate
income families who live in big
and small cities.
Taken all together, BLS calls
these 300 items, ranging from
cigarets to surgery, the “market
basket” of goods and services
which families of wage-earners
and clerical workers must buy to
maintain their level of living.
The American people are con-
stantly changing their spending
habits. Ten years ago there were
almost no television sets. Today
there are nearly 21 million. TV
sets are now as, much a part of
the average family’s budget as
automobiles and movies. Thus,
TV sets will now be included in
the “market basket” and their
changing costs will become part
of the monthly index.
Up to now the cost-of-living
index has been computed from
price changes in 225 items, meas-
ured by price sampling in 34
cities, all large. Besides expand-
ing the number of items to 300 by
adding TV sets, frozen foods and
others, BLS will take price sam-

to towns of 2,500.
BLS sent pricing specialists in-
to the homes of tyvical families
in all these cities to get a com-
plete record of the kinds, quali-
ties and amounts of foods, cloth-
ing, furniture and all other goods
and services bought in 1950, and
how much was spent for each
item.
Results of this survey showed
that: The average family spent
30.1 per cent of its total expendi-
tures for food; 32 per cent for
housings; 9.7 per cent for clothes;
11 per cent for transportation; 4.7
per cent for medical care; 2.1 per
cent for personal care such as
toilet articles; 5.4 per cent on
reading and recreation which in-
cludes TV; and 5 per cent for
“other goods and services”—to-
bacco and alcoholic beverages,
legal services, burial expenses
and others.
Comparing this modern market
basket with the one in use up to
now shows interesting contrasts.
For example: the old cost-of-liv-
ing index gave a weight of 35.4
per cent to housing, nearly two
points more than housing’s new
value in the market basket.
The new index will use aver-
age prices in the period 1947-
1949 as a base of 100. The base
is arbitrary—it could be any
period at all. In fact, Clague
has announced that he will issue
the new index also on a 1935-
1939 base for at least the next 12
months, so that easy comparisons
can be made between the new
and old index.
The old index was tied to the
1935-1939 base.
The 1947-1949 base means this:
If the new index out next
week, which will measure the
change in the price level from
Dec. 16-Jan. 15, shows that prices
on Jan. 15 were exactly the
same as the average in 1947-

Says American
Doctors Were Not
Run Out of Guam
SNYDER, Tex., Feb. 21 (A)_
Dr. John W. Battenfield of Sny-
der, former medical director of
the only civilian hospital on
Guam, told the Snyder Daily
News he and other American
doctors were not run out of
Guam by European refugees as
reported by a Washington news-
paper.
kind of picture about conditions
of the hospital and the group of
physicians who had been selected
from a large number of displaced
persons from Europe.
The Washington story said the
refugee physicians seized control
of Guam’s civilian hospital,
chased out most Americans, and
imposed their rule of private
medical practice.
Battenfield, owner of the Bat-
tenfield hospital here, was one of
the Americans named in the
story as being chased out. The
physician, who came here last
March, was medical director of
the hospital from April, 1950, to
May, 1951.
The Snyder physician termed
as “ridiculous” the report the
Europeans seized the hospital.
“They were selected by the navy
and accepted by the Interior de-
partment,” he said. “They were
admitted to the U. S. as residents
before shipment to Guam.
“I never enjoyed working with
any group of men as much as I
did that one. Working under ad-
verse conditions, they were able
and competent.”
Battenfield agreed that the
310-bed hospital had been, in
chaos for months, but not “due to
machinations of the refugee
clique,” but rather to the hospi-
tal being a poorly equipped
plant.
The plumbing doesn’t work,
toilets are outside and “if you
had a billion umbrellas you still
could not keep the rain off pa-
tients,” Battenfield said.
“The reason there are so many
European doctors there is that
the pay is so low American doc-
tors will not go. there,” he said.

liam Jennings Bryan, but the
question of a permanent place
for his statue has them in a tizzy.
A bronze likeness of the Great
Commoner, a Nebraska lawyer
who became a presidential candi-
date and a cabinet member, now
looks northward from the front
steps of Nebraska’s state capitol.
* But a lot of people say it
doesn’t belong there. They can’t
agree where it should go.
There have been charges that
* things would be different if
Bryan were not a Democratic
political hero in what today is a
Republican state.
Republicans sharply deny it.
Though no one seems to want
to say so, the real trouble may be
simply that civic statuary is go-
ing out of date.
The Bryan Memorial Commis-
sion, of ■ which Bryan’s sister,
Mrs. T. S. Allen, is a member,
says the complaints it hears are
that the statue interferes “with
the architectural simplicity and
symmetry of our famous cap-
itol.”
Former Gov. Val Peterson
suggested the statue go to the
new Historical building being
built down the street from the
* capitol.
Sorry, said James E. Law-
rence, president of the State
Historical society, but there is
- not suitable place there for
Bryan’s likeness “or any other
statuary.”
The legislature thought it had
come up with a solution of its
own when it passed a law last
week giving itself sole power
to move capitol-bound memo-
rials. But the law doesn’t go
into effect for 90 days.
Meanwhile, it has been pro-
posed in the legislature that the
statue be moved from the front
of the capitol around to the side
or back.
’ Yesterday, a resolution to that
effect was referred to a special

OUT OF THIS WORLD?—Here is the newest in fashion for
people who want to get as far away as possible from this
prosaic old world. Designed for the Navy, this heavily cor-
rugated suit of rubber with a domed plexiglass will keep a
man alive without particular discomfort at altitudes as high
as 100,000 feet—nearly 19 miles up. The outfit, the Navy
said, "will allow Navy pilots to travel in safety in the ex-
treme upper atmosphere—or even in outer space."
