Cost Of Living To Be Increased WASHINGTON UPI — The cost of living rose three-tenths of one per cent in May to a record high, the government announced today. The May increase In the consumer price index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics came on the heels of a similar three-tenths of one per cent hike in April. The bureau attributed the May rise to higher prices for meats, fresh vegetables, clothing and gasoline. Somewhat offsetting the bad news for consumers, the weekly take-home pay of the average | factory worker rose $1.40. After | taking account of the price rise, this left them about $1 ahead of April. The May rise put the consumer price index at 109.6 per j cent of the base 1957-59 level. This meant it cost the average family $10.96 to buy a basket of groceries that cost $10 in 195759. It also knocked three cents off the value of the $10 bill. The price index now stands 1.7 per cent above a year ago. mostly because of a continuing : rise in food costs and senice charges. Arnold Chase, the bureau’s assistant commissioner, predict-

ed that prices will rise M a little more” in June despite the federal excise tax cut. which should mean lower prices on some items.
