The July figure, reported by the Dominion Bureau of Statis- tics, was almost five points above last year's level of 139.5. The index is based on 1949 prices equalling 100, Although the seasonal rise in food costs was the main trig- ger, a small advance in housing costs also occurred between early June and early July to 'contribute ta the indey jump. Canada, India and Poland are members of the commission. Rusk, speaking at a press con- ference, denied that any U.S, warplanes striking military tar- gets near Haiphong, North Viet Nam, had attacked Soviet ship- ing. Russia charged the United States with attacking its ship- ping in a note delivered in Mos- - cow teday hut the r fused. Rusk said it w because it was "abusive."
