Price controls amid Korea War era inflation peak near mid 1960s
The report notes the price index climbing to 17 percent with an 167-49 average, peaking at 118.4 in October 1953 and May of a recent year. Finch price increases, notably for fresh produce, pushed city costs up while other major expenses rose as well. BLS Commissioner Ewan Crague said some stabilizing steps by August were possible, but the surge may have passed its peak. Food and farm prices should ease, yet rent utilities transportation medical care and personal services will continue rising.

Peace talks and wage protests span shifting wartime issues
Japanese Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu will return to Tokyo for consultations on the Soviet Japanese peace talks after the Suez Conference, with Tokyo weighing whether he should go to Moscow depending on readers of the Liberal Democratic party. Philip Morand of Dallas returns to the U S Army after eight years in Communist territory amid unresolved desertion questions. The United States denies planned wage increases for Panamanian native workers in the Canal Zone, prompting union protests as a new treaty limits privileges for local employees and foresees wage alignment with Panamanian standards.
