Clothes Bring Living Costs Higher in September
Washington AP reports higher fall clothing prices pushed living costs to a record high in September. The Labor Department index rose from August to 128.3 percent of the 1947-49 base, with clothing up 11 percent from August. Deputy Commissioner Robert J. Myers expects a slight rise in October but notes overall price stability and little month to month change. He said nothing suggests a sharp rise in price levels. The September index stood at 128.3, up from 120.3 in August.
