Living Costs Edge Higher in May Amid Modest Rise
The May cost of living rose by one tenth of 1 percent to 123.6 percent of the 1947-49 base, the smallest monthly gain since December. Food items were flat for the month, while medical care and transportation costs drove the overall uptick. Pay raises linked to the index will affect about 850,000 workers, with additional smaller increases for others. The government notes may hint at a summer inflation pause, though meat and service prices likely rise further.

Kansas Unable To Extend Aid To Unemployed
Atty. Gen. John Anderson ruled Kansas cannot accept a 50 percent extension of unemployment benefits under a new federal law without state legislation. Kansas would need an act of the legislature to raise the maximum from 20 to 30 weeks, with funding repaid via higher employer taxes or existing funds. The state already has funds but previous efforts to raise to 32 weeks failed in 1958. Unemployment rate among insured workers sits around 2.9 percent, down from 6 percent in February.
