medal today by Vice Admiral Thom- |

We must all work together.” . t , Landrum, a native of Florida, accepted the medal “in recognition of the brave soldiers who did their fighting for me.” The citation said he accomplished the conquest with a minimum of casualties.

rived at the Dale Mabry air base|cently graduated from the gunnery claimed that the latest drop of 8

per cent in the labor department's cost of living index was evidence of a trend that will not stop until

prices are back to the hold-the-line level of September, 1942, They were well pleased with the report of the bureau of labor statistics . showing the cost of living for city workers from mid-June to mid-July to be only 5 per cent above last September’s level. They contend that by the time next month’s prices are reflected in the index it will be clear that OPA has successfully carried out President Roosevelt’s hold-the-line order. The bureau of labor statistics credited OPA’s cutback of meat prices with the largest share of responsibility for the drop in the cost of living index—the first substantial drop since Pearl Harbor. The .2 per cent drop from mid-May to midJune was the first drop since a year before Pearl Harbor,

Food Down 2 Per Cent

Seasonally lower prices of vege-|. tabls also were factors in the deline of both months, The bureau’s report showed that etail food prices—responsible for about two-fifths of total living costs ropped 2 per cent from June 15 to July 15. Clothing costs rose .5 per cent and other costs were stable or increased moderately. The bureau reported. that the substantial declines for most meats in July resulted from reductions in maximum prices ordered by OPA. They included an 8% per cent drop for beef and veal, 8 per cent for pork, and 4 per cent for lamb; Fresh fish prices rose about 4 per cent, put : chickens, which were not affected by the OPA cutback, dropped 5 per cent.
