Washington reports mid August retail food prices reached a record high as the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows a 1 percent rise to 235.6 percent of the 1935 39 average across eight cities.

Vitrified chinaware silverware jewelry and certain glassware are also freed. Price boss Arnall says relaxations do not mean abandonment of controls where needed. Woods will seek full abolition if public mood supports it. Arnall notes suspensions apply to goods selling below ceilings.
