Drought Not Serious Yet But Prices Jump In Produce
Washington reports Secretary Sawyer sees no broad slump from the drought though some sharp price increases in produce and rural trade setbacks. Crop damage tallies around a billion dollars yet hiring in agriculture centers remains steady, with fears that farm implement sales and some defense plants could later suffer if rainfall lags. Local nerves rise as canned goods stock buffers limit price spikes, while consumer resistance slows retail sales in parts of the Northeast.

Acting Defense Mobilizer Steelman says the defense program will take a full year to recover from the steel strike’s effects. He reveals portions of a secret monthly report to the President detailing drastic arms losses, with ammunition output unlikely to resume on schedule until early 1953 and major item production hits worsened by the stoppage. He notes June deliveries leveled after a February–May surge as aircraft production still rose.
