Food price rise blamed on drought and policy
President Truman warned about food price surges tied to drought and policy, citing a 1.5 percent June to July jump and an expected rise by Aug. 15. Arnall warned drought would harm farmers and finances, while a steel strike settlement and OPS aluminum hikes added to inflation. Aluminum producers received 5 percent on fabricated products and 18 to 19 cents a pound on ingot metal to offset wage costs, with prices raised accordingly by resellers.
