Living Cost Rises Sharply in April Report
The Labor Department notes April consumer prices up three tenths of a percent the steepest gain in six months. Commissioner Ross says the economy isn’t out of the woods and forecasts a 2.5 percent annual rise. Food prices fell slightly while clothing, furniture, gasoline and medical costs rose. Wholesale prices also advanced in May, hinting at higher retail costs. Average weekly earnings for about 44 million workers rose 40 cents after tax, but inflation reduced most of the gain.

Egyptian Shipping Interference Rekindles 1956 Dispute
Egyptian interference with Israeli shipping through the Gulf of Aqaba helped trigger Israel’s 1956 invasion fears. Nasser’s threats loom as Israel’s trade via Eilat expands, with 90 percent of oil passes through the port and 5 percent of other trade. The port’s strategic bottleneck lies near the Strait of Tiran where ships pass close to the Sinai Desert, a legacy of earlier shore batteries and blocking actions.

Nevada Test Blast Jolts Beatty With Hidden Power
A massive underground hydrogen device, code named Scotch, was detonated at the Nevada test site during a test near Beatty. UPI reports the blast rattled gamblers in Las Vegas 100 miles away and caused building movement in Beatty while no damage was reported. The AEC described the yield as 200,000 to one million tons of TNT, detonated deep in the Pahute Mesa shaft. The test aimed to support U.S antibalastic missile or Poseidon rocket goals, with no official comment on exact purpose.
