Living Costs Unchanged in May and Take-Home Pay Rise
May saw no change in living costs while average family take-home pay rose to 70.12 per week and a single worker to 62.83. Secretary of Labor Mitchel praised price stability, noting steady retail prices since mid-1953, higher take-home pay, rising job opportunities, and lower unemployment as signs of a stronger economy. French Foreign Minister Pinay urged German unity with security, opposing a neutral or overarmored Germany, and called for a free German choice within a security framework. He linked the disarmament issue to the Geneva summit, while Molotov’s remarks sparked mixed Western reactions about Cold War tensions and global economic cooperation.

Arkansas Ark-Mo Sees 6 Percent Net Return With Future Reductions
Spokesmen forArk-Mo Power admitted to the Missouri Public Service Commission that the utility earned more than 6 percent net return in 1954. They warned that anticipated revenue reductions over the next two to three years will temper future earnings. Charles Czeschin, president, cited 1954 figures showing 7.02 percent from power and 60 percent from gas and miscellaneous operations in the southeastern Missouri northeastern Arkansas area. Commissioner J. E. Flanders noted the usual 4 percent maximum. Ark-Mo has contracts with rural cooperatives. any demand rise will cut revenue from Arkansas power, and a planned changeover by Texas Eastern Transmission Corp will shape next year’s results. The commission was told Ark-Mo’s largest customer is Texas East. the hearing could be ordered if requested.
