Believe -35 g Men Either Dead Or Missing

(By The Aseoolstted Press)

A series of-plane crashes within 24 hours plagued the United States Air Force Friday from one side of the world to the other. Thirty-three men were believed dead or missing.

A plane with 19 aboard was miss- ing in Alaska. Eleven died in a crash late Thursday in England. Three planes crashed in Italy and at least three persons were report- ed killed.

In the 11.8., however, seven crew members bailed out of a turning bomber in Arizona's Tucson moun- tains and were rescued. The bomb- er was guided safely to its base by the pilot. Four other men remain- ed aboard.

A navy bllmip crew of 11 was equally fortunate. A freak accident caused the blimp, its helium dissip- ating, to settle into" the Atlantic Ocean 55 miles off Brunswick, 0a.. but the men were rescued in short order by a navy sub working in the area.

The new index. based on 1949 prices cquaillng 100, dropped one- tenih of a point to 116.0, from 116.1. It had increased by that amount in August.

The old index, based on 1935- 39 prices for the third consecutive month. declining by 1.5 points to 185.0 from 186.5 This was is drop from the peak in living costs, reached last December, measured as 191.5 on the gauge and 118.2 on the new.

The group will be augmented by is substantial representation from tjie City School Board as well a the Home and School As-

tion received from Frederic A. Large, Q.C., chairman of West Kent School Association. who de- veloped the move with the object of securing definite and authen- tic material with which to ap-

Slight Decline In Living Costs In Sept.

During September lamb prices declined by 10 cents a pound to 82 cents from 92; rolled ribs of beef averaged a five-bent-a-pound drop to 81 cents from 86: pa- tatoes declined by 11 cents for 10 pounds to 55 from 66.

wear, women's fur and cloth coats, woolen yard goods and children's wear all went down.
