The June living cost index rose 0.1 percent to 123.7 of the 1947-49 average, a new record but signaling a possible decline later in summer. Food costs held steady while overall prices rose in transportation and medical care, with housing stable for the first June since 1957. After-tax earnings hit a June peak, yet real buying power remained 22 percent below a year earlier due to prior inflation.
