Living costs in Indianapolis rose 0.1 per cent during August, although the average cost for the nation as a whole declined 0.3 per cent, the National Industrial Conference board reported today. Evansville showed a decline of 0.1 per cent in the same period, the board said. The decline in the general index was due almost entirely to a drop of 09 per cent in food costs, the report sald, Costs of housing, women’s clothing, electricity and gas

FOOD FIGURE FOR RELIEF IS RAISED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15 (U. BP). — Agriculture department officials revealed today that a planned speed-up in relief shipments of American food is now expected to meet liberated Europe's minimum

The department now estimates that 8,350,000 tons of food will move from this country to liberated areas during 1945. Half of it will go abroad in the four and one-half month period after V-J day. Whether this accelerated flow of food can be maintained, however, depends on the extent of credits the U. 8. extends to Europe and on congressional approval of $550,000,000 appropriation to the United Nations relief and rehabilitation administration, Nearly 90 per cent of all food in the relief pipeline is wheat and flour. In addition, the 1945 exports will include 171,000 tons of meat, 54,600 tons of cheese, 304,000 tons of other daigy products and 137,700 tons of lard and other fats and oils. Relief authorities estimate that Europe will need 18,000,000 tons of imported food during the next 12 months if widespread starvation is to be checked.

every” before it makes its first public appearance. But just don't say you weren't told about this affair when you rub your blinkers and take another peek. ; Descriptive matter about the Dymaxion says that it is “airborne” —the entire structure hung rigidly from a central mast.”

Here's Description

Home was never like this—yet, Puller believes it will be one of these days, so let's read another few paragraphs: “This mast stands on a firm foundation and the round dwelling, which weighs under three tons and covers 1017 square feet, is securely

“His dwelling is not a prefabricated house but the pioneer of the airframe dwelling industry, for it is built entirely of aluminum, stainless steel, plexiglas, plywood and dther war-proven synthetics. It is airconditioned and fireproof.” Having gotten over that hump, it may now be explained that in terms of rooms, the Dymaxion will supply two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, dining area and living room. Right now its supporters are working out the plans for the interior. Before it will be shown publicly, they'll fit it’ up slick as a whistle “to the taste of the most

! discriminating housewife.”

On View in 60 Days

While doing this for the Dymaxion home of tomorrow, Fuller said he was keeping alive aircraft technology in the interest of national air defense. Officials of the war and navy departments and members of congress were expected to view the first copy of the revolutionary home within 60 days. Fuller merged labor, capital and science in the joint venture to provide low-cost housing through private enterprise. A member of the board of directors of Dymaxion Dwelling Machines, Inc., is Harvey W. Brown, president of the International Association of Machinists, A. P. of L. affiliate, His union recognized the employment possibilities of maxion and brought its officials together with those of Beech Aircraft | Corp. No Price Set

WICHITA, Kas., Oct. 15 (U. P.).—Those gehtlemen with the drawing boards and big idéas about mass production of fancy American homes {will have to step lively to match R. Buckminster Fuller's dymaxion. He's coming up with a dwelling machine. “home of tomorrow” stands now in a restricted factory area here in Wichita. It'll be several months, how=

If you're looking for prices for your dwelling machine, you'll have to wait awhile. Officials are talk ing of a minimum of 10,000 units

tribution outlets now are being ore ganized. The final price of a Dymaxion,

the yard of your choice, will depend on mass production. All Fuller could say yet was that he was confident it would be well une der the price of any other permae nent house of equal space,
