Food prices fall as industrials hit record highs
Wholesale food and farm prices eased in April marking the first decline in six months. But the decrease was offset by a 1.4 percent rise in industrial materials, the largest monthly gain since January 1951, signaling broad inflation pressure. The Labor Department notes the overall index rose 0.8 percent, with farm products up 0.1 percent and processed foods up 0.1 percent. President Nixon vowed tighter controls, ordering large firms to delay price hikes and bolster enforcement under Phase 3, as the Cost of Living Council gains staff and IRS resources.
