National price trends point to a higher cost of living as price hikes spread across industries. Sylvia Porter notes wage settlements, higher material costs, and rising demand create a cycle of inflation likely lifting the government price index toward a new high.
A Cedar Rapids Gazette excerpt notes Democrats and Republicans grappling with higher campaign expenses for television time. Costs are rising as more stations join networks, with a cited 1952 rate around 32,000 dollars for a coast-to-coast half hour, expected to nearly double. The piece also shows county notices on estate administration in Linn County.
The Democratic and Republican parties expect to spend about six million dollars on television for the 1956 presidential campaign.
